There are roughly two million adults in Calif who are unemployed or grossly under-employed. Roughly one-half million of these are hard-core inner-city unemployed, who burden the state with huge costs in criminal justice, incarceration, property damage, illegitimate parenthood, AFDC, etc. These people need "tough love" from a state government that is now broke. Message: "No work= No eat"--"The bus for the Salinas broccoli fields leaves at 8AM tomorrow. Be there--sober!"
I am sorry that California is in this crisis, but I cannot support any more taxes for your struggling businesses and middle class. When I add up all of the EXISTING fees, assessments, sales taxes, inventory taxes, surchages, property taxes, and income taxes, I easily conclude that Californians are already paying higher than average combined taxes, compared to most other states. The simple fact is that you have too many residents (legal & illegal) who are not producing wealth.
