Comments on: Growth controls, not Prop. 13, produced state deficits https://calwatchdog.com/2013/01/07/growth-controls-not-prop-13-produced-state-deficits/ Thu, 11 Apr 2013 17:18:57 +0000 hourly 1 By: ArekExcelsior https://calwatchdog.com/2013/01/07/growth-controls-not-prop-13-produced-state-deficits/#comment-6429 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 17:18:57 +0000 http://www.calwatchdog.com/?p=36402#comment-6429 Your own reasoning establishes why Prop 13 must be at least in part a cause. If property values constantly explode above 2% but property taxes are fixed at 2% growth per year, what do you THINK is going to happen?

I agree. We have an agreement with China. They buy our debt, then get all of our jobs as payment of interest on that loan. I am a capitalist, but companies like Walmart under cut mainstreet by buying slave made goods from china. The same with Apple and all the other computer and cell phone companies.
But increasing taxes on american companies sends them off our shores.

Every RAGWUS employee is overpaid and underworked. With over 87% of all our tax dollars going to feed the RAGWUS porker at their trough, and built in raises and perks, the econmy will never recover. If the current RAGWUS system is not disbanded then California will end up becoming an extension of Baja. 🙂

The problem is the POLICY MAKERS have allowed our best companies to ship all the good jobs overseas for fats profits, while debasing the long term income/employment economy of the nation.

By increasing taxes on businesses you destroy jobs. Then you lose revenue. Then you can’t pay your pension benefits.

“If the Democrat-affiliated Occupy Movement were serious about all their “we are the 99 percent” talk, they would only tax wealthy Blue cities and counties whose property values were stabilized by growth controls. Or they could consider repealing growth controls altogether.”
Once again it’s often what ISN’T happening and what ISN’T addressed that exposes such “reformers” as phonies whose goal is actually something different than what they say.
