Spending an extra $750 million on computers for the courts, which do not work, that is why we have massive deficits. Not selling the LA Coliseum for a minimum of over $300 million is why we have deficits. Sacramento owned by the unions, more reasons we have deficits. AB 32 and illegal aliens is why we have massive deficits. Yet the Democrats want to tax you more, which means LESS revenues.
"However, there’s no mistaking that Brown and his Democratic colleagues featured at the briefing (Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, Assembly Speaker John Perez, Controller John Chiang and Treasurer Bill Lockyer) view higher taxes as the prime solution to California’s problem. Perez, a former union organizer, said as much at the meeting. Steinberg, a close union ally, repeatedly voiced his concern about the effect of budget cuts on the state’s public employees.
The briefing was designed to show that California can no longer afford the sort of one-time budget-balancing gimmicks tried in the past. That much is true. There are no more revenues to shuffle around redevelopment agencies, no more federal revenues that will backfill gaping holes in the budget, no more opportunities to accelerate the collection of personal income and corporate taxes. In fact, Brown’s presentation noted that 75 percent to 85 percent of the predicted savings from short-term budget solutions over the last three years did not materialize."
Killing the economy is the way Democrats operate--but it is for your own good. Here is a novel idea--no new taxes--force government to live with what they get. To fix the problem they can start with ending the government created union monopoly--this is save10-15% on the cost of government--barely a start--but a smart move.
Will YOU vote for higher taxes in the Late Spring Special Election?
