Professor Daniel J.B. Mitchell says it goes back to Proposition 13.

Repeal Propositon 13!

[andrewrosso]

wow and lets cofiscate all the gold again like the best president of all time did FDR and give it all to the poor wow.

[andrewrosso]

i got an idea lets tax the people of california out of exsistance and all the jobs in calfiornia are government jobs. yeah lets get rid of 5th amement and the 2nd amendement of the constituion no body flows that any more. And lets change the califgronia constitution to a 1/5 vote to raise everyones taxes and tax the private sector out of exsist thats great idea why didnt i think of it before wow im calling my cogressmen

[CircusMaximus09]

Prop 13 should also be thrown out. So true that our spending is exploding.But there are artificially ow revenues from taxes that are KILLING the budget.

A bunch of nonsense about this guy hinting prop13 needs an overhaul. Stop spending! No more emergency room freebees for illegals for baby with sniffles. No more food stamps for illegals. no more baby born in the US = citizen, by mom who just hopped the fence.

I'm tired of these feel good Libs giving the dead beats and illegals money from the hard working tax payer. Then, spitting on the people who make this country run.

how can republicans and conservatives use this information to our advantage in the up coming elections. I feel with the right man power and placing the blame on the democrats who've cause these problems, we can take the state in both congressional and presidential campaigns.

California has been bankrupted by the socialist elitists in the legislature, State senate, and the governor's office. OUR money is being confiscated and given to illegal aliens and wasted on failed, socialistic, do-gooder schemes. And what are they doing about it ?

More of the same.

Why aren't these crooks in the slammer ?

[fernandag26]

That is what I have been saying. Create a frenzy and scare everyone into thinking we need to raise taxes!  Too much spending and bending over to the teachers unions! They need to stop the spending and not provide services that are not essential to running our state and keeping us safe.

[dbviewer5]

Oops. I meant Prop. 13.

See, I even need the government to help me spell.

[dbviewer5]

I have a BRILLIANT idea!!

Why don't we get rid of porp. 13, and tax all the homeowners...............right out of their homes!

That'll fix the economy!

After all, it's the government's money, not ours.

Who needs people who produce?

All we need is more government, and the money will magically appear!
