Why is it the electric company's business how much money I make?
If you live in California, your electricity bill could be affected by how much money you earn.
California's three largest power companies - Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric, and San Diego Gas & Electric - have submitted a joint proposal to the Public Utilities Commission outlining a fixed rate restructuring that would be based on one's income.
The plan would break down monthly bills into the fixed rate plus a reduced usage charge based on consumption. According to officials this fixed-rate plan would reduce monthly bills for low-income customers and if electricity usage is controlled, bills would also be lowered.
I'm sure there's some so-called social justice aspect to this. I should pay more than a 20-something because I make more than a 20-something? I've already been a 20-something and worked to earn more, and now I do. Are we going to do the same for gas, groceries, insurance? Will I have to submit 1040s to corporations now?
Just another example of how the left doesn't want to bring anyone up, it wants to bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator.

Probably. Ten years ago -- heck, five -- I doubt you or anyone would have figured this would happen. But it did. So the other dominoes will eventually fall.
Pikers...
If they REALLY wanted equity, they'd just offer these public utilities free!
But only to the "deserving," of course. Power to the right kind of people!
Just wait Pseudotsuga, it is coming eventually like Math Teacher posted.
