Skelton: Californians are not over taxed

LAT columnist George Skelton agrees today that California's top personal income tax rate and its sales tax rate are the highest in the nation. But that doesn't mean that Californians are over taxed, Skelton says. A family of four doesn't pay any California personal income tax until its income exceeds roughly $50,000, he says, and California's sales tax doesn't apply to food, prescription drugs and most services.

Does Skelton propose to increase the personal income tax on poor Californians or tax their food and prescription drugs? Ain't likely.
