In reply to bob. The Colliefornia voters (as Ahnode sez) better hope the DemoNcrats don't get back their two-thirds majority in the legislature once Brown leaves or else we will see a repeat of DemoNcrats gone wild.

In reply to SeeSaw. So does that mean you will vote for Bush?

And what the heck happens when Brownie is termed out? You think Gavin Pretty Boy Newson or Cramala or any of the other up and coming jokers are going to be nearly as restrained as Browniw? As far as tax increases go, you ain’t seen nothing yet…you will see once Brown leaves.

“…eager to expand programs that suffered cuts during the economic downturn…”

Those are code words for “Special Interest Food Fight.” Every trough feeder, crony cr@pitalist and other special interest are licking their chops and are ready to feast on the taxpayers. And cuts, what cuts? Spending is above where it was then.

“…already are eyeing an extension, along with a host of other taxes, from extending sales taxes to services, increasing taxes on oil and tobacco, and even restructuring Proposition 13 that strictly limits property taxes.”

Tax’em to the stoneage!!! Tax the shiite outta ’em!!!

It’s not enough that Colliefornia (as Ahnode calls it) already is among the highest taxing state in the country. For a good old DemoNcrats taxes can never be high enough.

If the Governor leaves the citizens of CA to run for President in 2016, he won’t get a vote from me!

This is the elephant in the room. We can debate immigration, pensions, minimum wage and other volatile issues all day long. But, raising taxes and paying for all the goodies the state wants to do is what it’s all about. If you’re a legislator in California with a progressive agenda (most legislators are), then you are immersed in a “raise their taxes” bubble. You are competing with other legislators for all those available dollars and you must promote your programs through increased taxes.

Like John, I think Brown is maneuvering to run for President. If he holds his Democratic piranha at bay, he’ll have a leg up on any other Democrat for the the nomination…at least he’ll have a good argument. Hillary and Warren certainly don’t have this argument.
