California abandons plan to tax text messages

AdaScheetz What would you get in return?

JUDGE AUTOCRATS RULE; THE CA REFERENDUM QUESTION TO DIVIDE STATE INTO 3 NEW STATES WAS PULLED OFF BALLOT BY CA STATE SUPREME COURT; IT MET ALL THE LEGAL QUALIFICATIONS.....

So you are saying the ONLY reason that Cali is not going to tax its residents is because the US govt said they couldn’t? Wonder what will happen when they finally cecede

Let's start with a 'what else can CA Dems tax Christmas wishlist!' 1. Social media tax to pay for the presidential and political it helped create.

The Dum Dems in California will just find another way to tax the American people, The elected officials in that state want money to help and support the illigals. If they had any brains they would build a wall.

This is how dumb Democrats actually are. The best part... there was NO outrage over this idea from those same dumb people

Calif Dems had planned it, meaning they’re dumb as hell. Dems do things without knowledges of laws, yet ppl still vote them, what an amazing society

No... now you will pay a surcharge IF your phone is 'text capable' 3% of your monthly bill...

What the fuck? This was actually on the table?

🤦🏻‍♂️

Greedy greedy bear.

do people even use SMS anymore... who isn't on whatsapp or messenger?

California 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I´m glad that I found the DeepOnion project. They have a serious dev team and a lot of good features. I recommend to take a look into this project. They have a great potential, 100% sure! DeepOnion $ONION getdeeponion

They would tax the fillings in your teeth if they could get away with it cause the whole state is run by greedy Democrats.

RooksLeAnne LeAnne, you have got to get out of that state! They're nuts!

It's like taxing how many words people say. How can you tax communication? That's a limit on free speech I'd say considering how ubiquitous texting is.

Californians LOVE paying taxes!!

TAXED SMS 🙄🙄

Awe poor snowflakes, I know they wanted to pay their fair share of taxes, rather than sit in mom and dads house getting everything for free.

The whole idea is RIDICULOUS !!!!

Anyone who planned to cast a yes vote on this ridiculous bill should be thrown out of office immediately.

Whew!

Bummer. I think you liberals should keep trying.

California will think of something else to tax

Quit trying to tax us for everything Cali!!!! 🤬

what about a ruling from the internet that says they'll build a workaround ten seconds after it's enacted?

Well duh, how they plan to pave the information superhighway. Gotta cover that cost somehow.

Dems are pissed that they can’t tax text messages.

California - run by liberals & taxed like it!

All of us everywhere have been paying tAx on texting, read your cell bill. Just look at all the obscure charges you’re paying for and have no idea what they mean, and your cable bill as well.

California is so yesterday.

Good!! I use Tracfone. & I am already paying taxes right now when I pay for my own re-load cards at the register, when I pay for the minutes I purchase. So, it's not like I'm not already paying freakin' taxes as it already is for my text & talk minutes! I am!!

baby pop melody 4~

Our daughter would go bankrupt

They should tax lawmakers for laws and regulations passed. California would be then be the richest State in the Union.

In other news California decides to start taxing its citizens on the air they breathe.

Trust me, CA will just come up with some other tax to squeeze every last cent from the residents.

Wow.. Imagine that.. an insane idea shot down for once. Really testing and pushing the envelope ..arent they.

That would have been so ridiculous for California

The fact they are even looking at this is terrible! California 🤦‍♂️

They are now looking at a carbon tax on breathing - exhaling dangerous climate changing carbon dioxide should be taxed (in a crazy liberals brain).

What a bunch of damn gready democrats.

They TAXED SMS?

California is an out of control leftie state. It is shameful what has happened at the hands of leftie politicians in that beautiful state.

No because that idea was a completely idiotic idea that should have never been announced as a possibility. It was laughed at across the USA and was mocked

Americans make money. The government takes it.

Thank God the FCC drove a stake into its heart. The CPUC has no business taxing it. They were not elected.

Wouldn’t have mattered.. people would have just used Apps like Was App and Line for their heavy texting use

Will there be a cap on of characters/text?

Pay to play would change the nature of texting...just tax the plans to help pay for low income plans.

They will just find something else to tax.

Good decision. The proposal represented the type of thinking that’s a major reason why so many businesses (180 I believe) have left CA this year.

I guess they will be looking at taxing sex between heterosexuals.

Wow California seems to be trying hard to take over the title of the stupidest state from Florida and it's Florida man/woman.

What about sexts?

Don’t worry I’m sure they will find something else to tax.

TG!

Ppl text lmao

👏👏👏👏California...NO TAX ON TEXT...👏👏👏👏 They woke up 👏👏👏👏👏

The ultimate will be when they tax your breathing.

People's socialist republic of California

But what will they promise all those illegals now?

What next a tax on tweets? Government is an institution that likes to invent innovative ways to acquire your money through new taxes, so they can waste it. Then spend more money investigating why they misspent it and whose idea it was in the first place.

What are texts

Plan no.... Vague ambition, maybe.

I would have enjoyed watching this shit show though.

Good

That would have turned the state red.

One small victory against Socialism. 🇺🇸

A nationwide CenturyLink outage is disrupting 911, and the FCC is investigatingFCC Chairman Ajit Pai has called the service issue 'unacceptable.' As if this FCC would ever hold telecom accountable. Ajit Pai is a joke. Nothing to be creeped out by here at all. I found Centuryling unacceptable last year and cancelled all subscriptions in favor of Comcast which is a much better service. Don't even think about 'cord cutting' with Roku, it is worthless too.

FCC Says At Least One Carrier Lied About 4G, And Other NewsThe agency has been investigating 4G failures, fake net neutrality comments, and whether texts count as 'telecommunication.' HOW ABOUT EVERYONE OF THEM? T-Mobile lied to us about everything--we couldnt make calls from anywhere inside or nearby our house. Their customer service was rigged to transfer us as much as possible then disconnect the call. There never was a tower close enough to support phones we're still paying for. What isn't corrupt or a lie these days. Not accepting, just accepting the truth of the matter. Not complacent, nor used to the norm this seems to have become, but definitely not surprised either. Who is?
