STOP HIGHER TAXES AND WASTEFUL SPENDING
Why do politicians and special interests always want to raise taxes but never want to balance budgets or deal with waste, fraud or out-of-control spending?
The politicians and special interests squandered a $100 billion surplus. Now they want a bailout from you.
Californians pay the highest gas taxes, state sales taxes, and income taxes in all 50 states—and also suffer from the nation’s highest cost of living. But what are we getting for that money?
In the last five years, Sacramento blew through a $100 billion surplus on a reckless spending spree with no accountability. Now we face a $30 billion structural budget deficit – even worse than the Great Recession.
Instead of fixing the real problem of waste, fraud, and out of control spending, politicians and special interests are pushing nearly $120 billion in new and higher taxes to bail out their reckless budgets and drive California’s cost of living even higher.
"California doesn’t have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem."

Join the coalition urging politicians to oppose any new state taxes until they fix California’s massive waste, fraud and out of control spending.
Even Governor Gavin Newsom has called wealth taxes "bad policy" that risk long-term job losses and economic harm for California.
