DESCRIPTION:Taxes: We Can’t Afford the Rich!\n\nSF Gray Panthers General Meeting – 
 All Welcome!\nTuesday, March 18, 12:30 PM\nFireside Room, 
 Unitarian-Universalist Center\n1187 Franklin St, between Geary & 
 O’Farrell\n\nCalifornia has 95 billionaires worth $102.9 billion. Yet, 
 hundreds with incomes above $200,000 pay no income tax at all. The gap 
 between our state’s rich and poor is becoming a canyon. Hourly wages of 
 low-income workers over the last 30 years have dropped 7.2%. High earners 
 wages have jumped to 18.4%. The state’s top 1% saw their incomes rise 
 108% from 1995-2005.\n\nSchwarzenegger says we have a $14.5 billion state 
 deficit, and he will not raise taxes. Instead our governor and many 
 legislators plan to butcher social services including: slashing Medi-Cal; 
 stealing millions from education funds that were guaranteed by Prop 98; and 
 delaying cost of living increases on welfare payments.  Meanwhile recession 
 looms, and economists say the usual fixes won’t work.\n\nIt’s certainly 
 true: the usual fixes are not going to work. Huge new sources of revenue 
 must be found, and they must come from those who can afford to pay them. 
 The rich are becoming an unsustainable luxury, that we can’t afford 
 anymore.  Come bring your ideas about what we can do, and find out what 
 others are thinking and planning.\n\nFor more information about the
