California Takes Bigger First Cut

The fallout from the budget debacle in California has two little surprises not widely publicized by the media:

Surprise #1: Income tax rates will increase by 0.25% across all income levels.

Surprise #2: Beginning November 1, California will increase the state tax withholding on your paycheck an extra 10%. For example, if the state was withholding $80 per paycheck, it now increases to $88. 

For those on tight budgets, this will only squeeze the taxpayer harder.
