California Democrats want some businesses to fork over half tax-cut savings to state
Calling the Trump administration’s tax reform plan a “middle-class tax increase,” two California lawmakers introduced a bill that would force large companies to fork over half of their expected savings to the state.
Assemblymen Kevin McCarty and Phil Ting, both Democrats, introduced Assembly Cons utional Amendment 22, which calls for a 10 percent surcharge on companies with a net earnings over $1 million. The plan could potentially raise billions for the state's social services programs.
“It is unconscionable to force working families to pay the price for tax breaks and loopholes benefiting corporations and wealthy individuals,” Ting said in a statement, according to The San Francisco Chronicle. “This bill will help blunt the impact of the federal tax plan on everyday Californians by protecting funding for education, affordable health care and other core priorities.”
The paper reported that the two lawmakers face an up-hill battle because Democrats in the state have lost their supermajority in the Legislature.
The Trump administration’s tax bill cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. The administration contends that the lessened tax burden will stimulate the economy and help the U.S. stay compe ive on a global scale.
About 2 million workers have received a bonus after the bill’s passage.
Congressional Democrats said the bill was rushed through and benefits the top 1 percent of earners. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has diminished the corporate bonuses as mere “crumbs.”
An editorial last week in The Sacramento Bee called the McCarty-Ting proposal “dumb.”
“California’s tax system should be updated to match a 21st century economy,” the editorial read. “The high sales tax rate, which hits low-income people hardest, ought to be lowered, and certain services used by wealthier people and corporations ought to be subject to taxes. Proposition 13, the property tax cutting measure approved by voters 40 years ago, could be revisited.”
The editorial pointed out that the state will maintain a $13.5 billion reserve this year, but, “Bills that blindly seek to soak big business and the rich at a time of budget surplus solve nothing.”

Trump supporter almost strangled to death by ANTIFA Extremist; Media Remains Silent
Imagine if this was Alt-Right would be non-stop top newsA 56-year-old man attending a gala celebrating the anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration Saturday night was knocked down with a punch to the head and strangled by a black-clad member of the Antifa communist extremist group, WCBS reported.
A video from the scene of the attack showed the victim bleeding on the sidewalk as police officers surrounded the handcuffed attacker. The victim was transported to Bellevue Hospital and listed in stable condition.
The gala, arranged by independent journalist Mike Cernovich, took place at the FREQNYC nightclub on W. 50th St. According to Daily News, the attack occurred at 10:30 p.m.
“I saw him hit the old man,” witness Ali Thomas told Daily News. “One hit. He swung hard. He hit him hard. The old man’s head hit the curb.”
NYPD officers arrested David Campbell, a Brooklyn resident. Campbell was charged with strangulation, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, assault of a police officer, resisting arrest, loitering, and obstruction of government administration, according to New York Post.
The mob also surrounded and trapped James O’Keefe, the president of Project Veritas, an undercover journalism outlet which recently published a series of reports exposing censorship, bias, and invasion of privacy by Twitter. O’Keefe retreated behind a line of police officers.
“Antifa spotted me walking outside Cernovich Night for Freedom, had me surrounded, bypassed NYPD, started to charge, had to turn phone off as was trapped in violent mob for 10 minutes with a few cops escorting me to car,” O’Keefe wrote on Twitter.

Several other people were injured during and after the event, including a police officer, according to NYPD.
Cernovich, the organizer, called the mob of protesters “terrorists” after the event.
The event was billed as a “gathering of patriots and political dissidents who are bored with mainstream political events.” The festivities included a DJ set, a comedy routine, and speeches.
Antifa is currently being investigated by the FBI for domestic terrorism. A joint intelligence assessment by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) described Antifa as committing terrorist activities as early as last year.
The confidential do ents, first reported on by Politico, show that the intelligence assessment led the DHS under the Obama administration to formally classify the activities of Antifa as “domestic terrorist violence.”
The organization was founded in Germany in the 1920s as the violent wing of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), which at the time was trying to establish a communist dictatorship in Germany. Part of its role was to brand any form of capitalism and all rival political parties, including even social democrats, as “fascist.”

US rejects Venezuela's call for "snap" presidential election
Venezuela is TropicoCARACAS, Venezuela – The U.S. State Department has rejected a call by Venezuela's ruling party to hold early presidential elections.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement Wednesday that the "snap" elections wouldn't be free or fair.
Her comments come a day after Venezuela's cons uent assembly approved the move to hold elections by the end of April. President Nicolas Maduro then said he'd seek a second term.
Socialist party chief Diosdado Cabello says elections are the best way to counter criticism by the U.S. and others that Venezuela is descending into dictatorship. ()
Several neighboring Latin American countries say early elections cut short negotiations with Venezuela's opposition, which calls for international observers.
Nauert called on Maduro's regime to respect the human rights of its citizens and to return to democratic cons utional order.

What happened?
The 60s civil rights movement.
you'd have to ask yourself why the southern states (which had been consistently democrat going way back to pre-civil war) have become a republican stronghold for the last half century. then dig to find out
Dirty Donald is duping you fools pretty good today
how is djt duping me exactly? if anything you're the one that wasted a vote not i. so in essence you're the one that got duped.
I like the irony of how the Alt Left demands white people apologize for the past but the Republicans have to vacate their wins from the past. That's funny to me.
it's all a farce with the far left. loons seeking complete and total domination over all including speech. em!
