SeeSaw,

I was about to say I have NO IDEA where people like Bob Smith get there information on government workers.

Of course, the answer is right before our eyes: “public employees, who are now comping more than TWICE the average private sector employee.”
………………………………………………..
Most state workers: 2007 through 2013….. NO COLAs.
Most state workers: 18 to 24 months 15% loss to furloughs.
Most state workers: 3% to 8% increase in pension deductions.
………………………………………………..
Powerful Public Employee Unions = oxymoron

Rex I agree that the private sector is getting screwed royally! A bus driver who must drive a hulking vehicle on freeways after dark and wrangle with unrully passengers along the way, makes about half of what I did serving a public that put me in no particular danger. That type-situation should change. But don’t blame public workers for the shame of what happens to be the private sector in America right now. You are working the wrong street Rex–get your brains in order.

You have zero knowledge about the collective bargaining process BobSmith. After the expected budget-income is known, the two sides meet regarding the amount that is left, after all the fixed obligations are deducted, and then they bicker over how to split it up.

Goree-est:

Don’t you want educated service workers who put soy milk in your latte instead of tomatoe juice? Gotta be able to read labels or discern product pictures.

Ah, what a joy it is to live in America–a country where you can whine all you want and not be punished, imprisoned, or poisoned! Write on your tablet every day a thousand times–“I love America”………………………

In reply to Bob Smith. Prop 13 has changed how you get taxed, not how much you get taxed. True. Tax revenue went UP after Prop 13 despite a lowering of the homeowners taxes, because "fees" on everything were doubled, tripled, quadrupled. Examples; Community Colleges were FREE when I went to college, CSU was $150 PER SEMESTER. Now CC are $750 a semester and CSU is $4000 a semester.

Any extra taxes that MAY be collected from a revised Prop 13 would go STRAIGHT into the pockets of public employees, who are now comping more than TWICE the average private sector employee. We do not need anymore public trougher pension millionaires. And that is all it would produce, and for that reason alone I am against ALL revisions, even commercial property.
