Is it Time to DOGE California?
Mark Hinkle, SVTPA President
It’s TAX DAY so let’s talk taxes!
Mark Hinkle, President of the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, joins us at our April Central Committee meeting to discuss all the current turmoil going on with taxes in our area and possible solutions.
President Trump is working to extend his previous tax cuts, and conversely, the California Legislature is working to tax us out of existence, the Trump administration is cutting California’s funding because they refuse to abide by federal Title IX and sanctuary state policies. The City of San Jose has a whopping $60M deficit which refuses to be ignored, and every NGO has its hand out now.
How do the state, county, and overextended cities plan to pay for their extravagances?
Mark Hinkle currently lives in Morgan Hill with his wife Linda and his son Logan. He runs a small business in the San Francisco South Bay Area that focuses on child safety and drowning prevention. He’s a life member of the Libertarian Party, having held several offices with the County and National Parties and even served as chair of the Libertarian National Committee. A true believer in Libertarian policies, he’s run for office a total of 9 times in both partisan and nonpartisan offices. This promises to be interesting as Mark discusses the tax & spend policies of our political class and the ways to return to common sense. Is it possible to DOGE California? Be sure to join us April 15th!
