Society benefits from everyone having an education.

Is it the Truman Show?

The local Chambers have had no problem in accepting funding from thir local government’s while, at the same time, supporting/sponsoring anti-public sector initiatives.

The only voters who resent Prop. 13 are the recent purchasers of residential property. They hate the homeowners who pay 10 times less property taxes than they–completely overlooking the fact that their own current taxes are several times less than they would be if Prop.13 had never passed.

Cut all pensions to no more than $50,000 a year, no matter the title held. Do away with the DROP program, perks, spiking, and special rights for our government paid crooks.

Most of all I would like to no longer pay to the state to keep my property. Lets get rid of the property tax and about 80% of government!! 🙂

As tax policy goes it’s something of a blunt instrument but hey, you can’t say it wouldn’t raise revenue.
