The sales tax will kill the tax hikes. It is not passing, and iI predict it will fail by a 2-1 margin.

I don’t trust PPIC. It is a liberal based polling agency. And they have been proven wrong many times from what I recall. Why don’t other agencies like Rasmussen poll the tax increase proposals? I have more confidence in their polls. The last poll I believe was in April by PPIC. They claim 54% of Californians favor the increase. About 65% favored the millionaire tax (of course – make somebody else pay) but only 46% favored the sales tax increase (which proves it’s much more popular to make someone else pay). I just totally distrust PPIC. I want to see other polls. And I think Gov Clown will lose support in the last 6 mos before the election.

No lobbyists? The entire state dem legislature is their lobbyist. The public unions are their lobbyists. Corporations like JP Morgan that administer the food stamp program (and other welfare programs) are their lobbyists. The welfare leeches are a HUGE political force, rex. They represent 33% of all the welfare leeches in the entire nation – right here in California. Power is in the numbers. LOTS OF PRIVATE BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES HAVE THEIR BREAD BUTTERED BY THE WELFARE LEECHES. To say the welfare leeches have no lobbyists is completely inaccurate.

Our tax system asks those with less to pay more and those with more to pay less.Cuts will be imposed because the state will not- or can not – deal with corporate tax evasions. $10 billion in tax evasions from Apple, and there probably is a similar tax evasion by Google, Yahoo, and other internet companies.Because of these corporate pigs we face More cuts to schools, more cuts to social services, health care, child support, police and fire protection.This depression will continue until we require the corporations to pay their share of taxes!!! They benefit from the taxes to!!! They get roads, bridges, an educated work force, police and fire protection, etc.
