Arnold is like a Democrat, he loves taxes and he loves harming real people.
"On the weary backs of California seniors, the governors May budget revision offers a plan to help alleviate the states $19.1 billion deficit.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed to suspend an exemption for residential retirement communities from paying a fee on the skilled-nursing services they offer. Quite simply put, this is a tax.
After assuring Californians that he would not approve a budget that raised taxes, Schwarzenegger and some state Democrats want to tax nursing home beds in residential retirement communities. Of course, only the private-pay residents will be penalized and pay the tax, because Medi-Cal and Medicare residents would not be required to do so.
The results will be ugly for about 18 percent of residents those who pay privately, out-of-pocket for their skilled-nursing care who will be solely responsible for paying the exorbitant tax."
As an almost billionaire, he does not care what it costs seniors in assisted living beds. He killed the California economy with his previous tax increases and the economy and job killing AB 32 and its companion SB 375.
Of course this makes the elderly poor, quicker, then putting them on government assistance. Arnold wants to harm senior citizens, already in skilled nursing facilities.
We have another 101 days of this tax increaser without a clue. Shame on him for picking on our senior citizens--bet you did not know about this?
