But neither the mayor nor Lopez cares about how a split roll would destroy California businesses and jobs.

Why all the handwringing about Prop 13? In what meaningful sense does Prop 13 diminish the government’s ability to tax, when it has another 10 or 20 taxes, and myriad fees, it could raise instead? It seems to me that the only point of the exercise is to hide the true tax burden, inasmuch as property taxes are a less visible form of tax than income and sales taxes.

The road to serfdom comes by facism…letting your government control your production and profits and taxes and regulations and your health and well being!!!!

If they go for Prop. 13…start a wagon, pitch fork and sickel company….the mobs will be buying….

We wrote about this here. Another aspect of Lopez's Prop 13 reforms that makes no sense: he complains that the law favors older, wealthier homeowners at the expense of younger, poorer homeowners (which is true), but then proposes reforms that avoid angering older voters; specifically, chipping away at the law with sharper tax increases for younger buyers. So . . . we're going to address Prop 13's regressive taxing of younger homeowners by . . . increasing taxes on younger homeowners?
