Jon Coupal says California needs to change the way we do business if we want the economy to recover.

◼ California High Taxes & So-Called Balanced Budget! - KMPH

Have you stopped to consider how high your taxes are?

If you live in California, you are taxed at a higher rate than nearly any other state.

Some say California taxes you for everything.

It has some of the steepest sales tax, personal income tax and corporate tax rates in the nation.

...Coupal (President of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association) says California will never grow out of this recovery, unless we have a vibrant economic recovery. He says that will not happen unless we change the way we do business. Many are reaching the tipping point with the tax and regulations. We love California but it's just becoming too burdensome."
