California blew billions during COVID, refused to pay it back, and now businesses are stuck holding the bag.
Every boss in the state is forced to pay extra taxes just to cover a loan politicians chose to ignore.
That’s $42 per worker this year, $63 in 2027, and it keeps climbing.
Doesn’t matter if you run a taco truck or a tech firm... you’re paying for Sacramento’s mistakes.
Why? Because instead of using federal stimulus cash to erase the debt like 48 other states did, California’s leaders spent it elsewhere.
Now it’s called the “greatest hidden tax,” and it’s killing job growth before it even starts.
Businesses begged for a fix. Lawmakers shrugged. And now, payroll taxes could hit $400 per employee thanks to penalties from the feds.
This isn’t just bad policy, it’s decades of broken politics finally coming
