					<description><![CDATA[Raising property taxes on businesses is further proof of one of the democrat party&#039;s articles of faith that success should be punished and failure rewarded. 

Democrats don&#039;t believe in wealth creation. They take the myopic view that  money and wealth is a zero sum game. To them Bill Gates got rich by making some else poor; Henry Ford got rich by making some else poor; Thomas Edison got rich by making some else poor. Never mind the fact that those men improves the lives of millions of people and made a million more people rich.

Democrats derive their power from dependence and poverty. The more poor people there are, the more they depend on democrats who take from the productive and give to the nonproductive. 

When businesses are unfettered by draconian regulations and high taxes, they employee more people who no longer need the democrat party&#039;s largess. This erodes the democrat party&#039;s base and so they must punish businesses via taxation to maintain their base.

Democrats don&#039;t get it that in order for a business to be successful it must grow and in order to grow, it must have customers to sell their products too. In order for their customers to buy their products those customers must be gainfully employed. 

The more people employed, the more they can afford and the more they can afford the more businesses succeed and grow. You can not have one without the other.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is always some interest behind anything and everything that goes on.  I remember the story line was old people were getting taxed out of their houses.

Whatever happens, we the people will pay eventually.  It could be thru lost jobs or higher rents.  There are costs to everything we do.  To be sure, businesses get a break.
  
My dad was a part time lobbyist for his business association.  He told me that businesses pass laws to make money, not to lose it.  It was one of my earliest lessons from a dad who died young.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Prop 13 was always just a cover for getting property taxes reduced on business holdings, particularly apartments like old slumlord Howard Jarvis and his buddies owned in Santa Monica at the time.  It&#039;s long past time to apply it only to residential properties, like its proponents claimed was its purpose back when it passed in 1978.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Its gonna happen, the dems are in total control.  Public education starts at home.  I did not expect the &quot;public&quot; to educate my children.  I had them reading the classics at an early age.  I took them to bookstores, museums, science exhibits and the like.

They had to go to public school, which is the law.  They were bored to tears and got crappy grades.  They turned out smarter than me in many respects and for a while one of them was making more money than me.  The only thing I have on them is old age.

Give anyone who stays in business in this state five years and MBA.  They earned it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great idea, the sooner we run all those greedy businesses out of the State, the better

But the proper response by We the People should be an Initiative to Abolish the Tax on Property altogether. And everytime they try to Raise another Tax it should be abolished in it&#039;s entirety by the initiative process. Unfortunately 2/3  of the residents are COLLECTING GOVERNMENT MONEY.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Steve;

I believe you need to look at what is happening in California without your rose colored glasses. Just one area will illustrate the deterioration; that is public education. My daughter and my wifes and my best friends are all teachers with numerous stories practically weekly about the public school failures in teaching our children anything. The students are inattentive, don&#039;t want to do their work, expect great grades not deserved, and their parents don&#039;t care. Ck how far the California schools have fallen in recent years.]]></description>
