 Newsom’s ‘tax the rich’ electricity plan will increase taxes for those making $28,000


California lawmakers are changing the way electricity is billed to households. Instead of paying for how much electricity one uses, they will also be taxed based on how much they make.

The new law requires people earning $28,000-$69,000 to be charged an extra $20 to $34 per month. Those earning $69,000-$180,000 would pay $51 to $73 per month, and people earning more than $180,000 would pay a $85-to-$128 monthly surcharge.
 
“Since when does CA residents making $28k annually qualify as 'rich'? Anytime a politician introduces a plan to 'tax the rich,' the middle class and under always pay the price,” Burton Brink, a former sergeant of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, said on X.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
