Monday's Marvelous Absurdities: CA Brings Marxism to Power Bills - Maybe Bud Light Should Try That, Too
“From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs.” - Karl Marx
San Diego TV station CBS8 reports that SDG&E is introducing a new plan for utility billings that would partially base rates charged on the customer’s income. The higher the income, the higher the rate will be.
No, I’m not making this up. Who could?
Here’s an excerpt from the story:
SAN DIEGO — There are some big proposed changes to how you’ll be billed by SDG&E for electricity.
A new state law requires utility companies in California to come up with a fixed rate plan, as a way to help stabilize rates and make billing more equitable.
Those plans were due on April 7.
SDG&E, along with Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison, teamed up and a proposal to charge people based on their income.
Currently, you not only pay for how much electricity your household uses, but other things such as how that electricity is delivered.…
Here’s the proposed breakdown, according to KFMB:
Households earning less than $28,000 a year would pay a fixed delivery rate of $24 per month.
Households earning under $69,000, the fixed price goes up to $34.
Households earning between $69,000 and $180,000, the price goes up to $73.
Households earning over $180,000 dollars will pay $128.

All in the name of “equity,” of course. Because the term “equity” as the Democrats use it today is nothing more or less than a euphemism for Marxism.
This is where the Democrat party is headed, and if you elect Democrats to office, it is where you’re going to be headed with them. It really is that simple.
