FYI:Another “Fine/Fee” a “Tax” you did no vote for.

Another “Fine/Fee” instead of a “Tax” not voted for.

Higher fines for traffic citations: AB 2173 raises the cost of moving violation tickets by $4 to fund emergency air-transport services. The bill was adopted to resolve a revenue shortfall for air-transport services because of inadequate Medi-Cal funding (which is what Welfare recipients receive, which includes all pregnant illegal aliens who apply and their anchor babies). Yes, you pay for illegals at every turn. It’s estimated that this new surcharge will generate approximately $34 million per year. The law will remain in effect until January 1, 2016 (but you can bet that once this is added on it will not be taken off).

Once something is added, it is never removed.
The Bush tax decrease is a good example, supposed to die 12-2010 but it just got 2 more years of life. This is not an increase but one of those things that is supposed to have an end of life but gets a life saving injection.

For that matter look for EVERY thing we use to rise in price/fee from now on. It started at least a couple of months ago, no actually last year when they tacked a fee on property tax.

Don't give Bush all the credit for this tax cut/decrease. The democrats have been receiving far too much cover over this scam. The change in congress hasn't even occurred yet, but that was the reason given for the vote? No..they caved in because they either came to the realization that the tax cuts were good for the economy or their contributors, or they were getting pressure from the same quarter the republican heirarchy gets it from. I think they were just given a golden opportunity to blame the change in house reps, and they are allowed to continue calling them the "Bush" tax cuts, yet reap any rewards from them silently

It's just another shakedown.
