I've bought a 576 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 19: October twenty eighteen, I bought a piece of equipment from 577 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 19: a used equipment dealer. It was a twenty five thousand 578 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 19: dollars purchase, and when I did all my number crunching, 579 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 19: I figured out eight nine percent tax on top so 580 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 19: I could budget for it. And when I sat down 581 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 19: and rated signed documents and the guy goes ten and 582 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 19: a half percent, and I go, wait a minute, I go, 583 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 19: what's this extra point and a half for? He goes, oh, 584 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 19: that's this is in the city along Beach. He goes, oh, 585 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 19: that's a homeless tax. 586 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: And I. 587 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 19: Went ahead with the purchase. But I've never been back 588 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 19: to Long Beach too so much as buy a donut. 589 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: All right, thank you for the call, sir, we appreciate it. 590 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: Let's go to Cheryl an Upper Lake. 591 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 17: Cheryl, Hello, Hello, I wanted to tell about years ago, 592 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 17: when cables and cable first came out. I was working 593 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 17: for ge Cable Vision as a contractor and that's where 594 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 17: I learned from staff that they paid their PG and 595 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 17: E electric bill at the last possible day. And I 596 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 17: always thought that, you know, poor people do that, but 597 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 17: they said no, it was all about the interest in 598 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 17: the bank there. And I think that the state controller, 599 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 17: you know, they're earning the interest on everybody's moneys, and 600 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 17: so that's very good motivation to not pay people easily 601 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 17: what they're holding. They think it's theirs already. Plus the 602 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 17: interest there. 603 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: Well, if you're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars, 604 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: which apparently we are, certainly the state of California is 605 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: not going to want to give that up, especially if 606 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: the money goes to the general fund. If the money 607 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: goes to the general fund, that means the money goes 608 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: to the public employee unions, and they're not going to 609 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: do anything that takes money away from them. 610 00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 14: That's right. 611 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 17: I would hope that the next governor, Steve Hilton, maybe 612 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 17: could do something about this. 613 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: All right, thank you for the call. Let's go to 614 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: Alex in La Alex. 615 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 14: Hello, Katie, John, how you doing. 616 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 18: On the topic? 617 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 20: Hits me right on the head here, because my mom 618 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 20: passed away several years back, and I went to the. 619 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 18: Website that you mentioned claimant dot CA. 620 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,239 Speaker 20: Dot gov, and I did find that I had some 621 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 20: money coming to me, so I applied for it, and 622 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,479 Speaker 20: he sent me an email telling me that I had 623 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 20: to send her a de certificate, my bank information, my 624 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 20: contact information, and a letter explaining the details. So it 625 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 20: might not be worth it if it's for a small amount. 626 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 14: What do you think. 627 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: Well, if the money is yours, it's yours. And if 628 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: all it takes is filling out a form to get it, 629 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: I would fill out the forum and try to get 630 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: it because I rather have access to the money than 631 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: the public employee unions in the state of California. Go 632 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: out and have a nice dinner. 633 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 18: Okay, all right, that's a good thought. 634 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: Thanks, all right, thank you for the call, sir.

Anyway, it was a pretty simple process 644 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 15: and I collected like just under ten grand. Although it 645 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 15: required my ex wife's signature on there, and anyway, somehow 646 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 15: or other, her signature ended up getting on there.

This is like about a year later, 653 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 15: and I tried to get that, and hell, they put 654 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 15: me through the rigger to get that. I had to 655 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 15: submit this. I had to submit that, and I just 656 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 15: forget it.

The steady California 688 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: will not only hold onto your money without telling you, 689 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: they reached their greasy hands right into your bank account 690 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: and take it out without warning if they think that 691 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: you owe them. I remember when a few years ago 692 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: I woke up and checked my bank account and there 693 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: was nothing in it because California had drafted all of 694 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: it out of my account. They claimed that I owed 695 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: the money in taxes because my name was on my 696 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: brother's mortgage, which he fully paid, and based on the 697 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: mortgage amount, they assumed I made more money than I 698 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: really made. So they calculated how much they thought I owed, 699 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: set notices to an address I no longer lived at, 700 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: and finally drafted my bank account one morning for all 701 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: of my funds. They did eventually give it back after 702 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: going through a lot of calls and paperwork. 703 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 2: Crazy Holy cow, how is this legal?
