Jerry Brown is still angry over the passage of Prop.13 and the need to cut State spending and create new ways to fund education.
"The Proposition 13 debate needs to happen; we’ve just got to be honest. At a time of a financial crisis as great as any the state has faced in modern times, the time is now to address the inequity of Prop 13 that allows large corporate interests to get a windfall meant for homeowners. We are not funding government. We are just decimating government and the services it provides.
He’s talking about the so-called “split roll,” in which Prop. 13 would remain for housing, but not for commercial real estate, which would see its taxes rise sharply. But other states that have done that have ended up with complex property tax codes filled with special-interest loopholes that only make sense to expensive tax lawyers."
This is a fancy way of saying Democrats want the cost of doing business in California to skyrocket with higher taxes on business. Want to create a stampede of jobs leaving the State, just pass a split roll property tax--Texas, Utah, Mississippi other legitimate States would love this to happen.
Can you say "youawl"? If not you better learn. Hope you like catfish and hush puppies and "remember the Alamo", not the Dodgers.
