If Obama and the Democrats have their way, Federal taxes will go up--income taxes, AMT taxes, death taxes, dividend taxes and more.
California has high tax rates, plus regulations that act like taxes. For the people of Atascadero, the cost of water will go up 15% over the next year--this is a tax on the people.
"On Dec. 8, the Atascadero Mutual Water Company’s board of directors is scheduled to decide whether to raise rates for about 30,000 customers. If board members go with the staff recommendation, those customers would see a 15 percent increase in their bill over the next year.
The increase is intended to offset the $2.4-million-annual debt Atascadero owes to pay for capital costs of the Nacimiento Water Project. Four years ago, the company implemented an 8 percent increase to pay for operations and maintenance costs. The Nacimiento Water Project will pump water along a 45-mile pipeline from Paso Robles to San Luis Obispo and the communities in between.
If the rate increase is approved, the average Atascadero resident will see their water bill jump from $56.80 per month to $65.90 in the summer, according to a company staff report. Board members have the option to choose between an 8 percent to a 15 percent increase, though staffers are recommending the high end."
They will lose a minimum of $108 per year--money that will not go for food, shelter, clothing or school costs. Thank you government.
