We feel the pain…..all seniors should go nonpartisan and fix stuff for all comrades…..why do the old and the poor always get picked on?

They do not listen…..they do not care.

With Governor Brown’s bypassing a public vote for the Bay Delta Conservation Plan twin tunnels boondoggle that has mushroomed already from $25 billion to $67 billion with no financing plan yet, and would put many people out of their Delta homes and farms, that, too, does not instill trust from the people. Or quietly jamming in a 16¢-76¢ gas tax, effective January 1, 2015, without a vote of the people, to create more cap and trade money to transfer to his other insane bullet train project, which is another lie, because it is no longer a bullet train like in Japan.

Also, people are already suffering from too high property taxes. We need another property tax revolution from the people to go to something like $1 a sq. ft fixed property taxes annually. I think $2,000 a year for our 2,000 sq. ft. condo is a very fair contribution–especially now that we are 74 years-old and it gets more difficult to earn money as we age. We can’t even earn money on money anymore with less than 2% available on FDIC insured CDs that dropped our income substantially from the days of 5-5.5% CDs. Donating about three of my monthly Social Security checks each year to our property taxes really hurts. How many would be willing to donate one-third of their income to property taxes? If the government gets the money, they will spend it on fat pensions and questionable projects—like when a former City Manager of Stockton hired old time singer Neil Diamond for $1 million for one night at the opening of the Stockton Arena that only brought in $400,000 gross income.
