Democrats know they can not get rid of the protections of the taxpayers built into the State Constitution--like Prop. 13 that causes the need for a 2/3 vote to raise taxes.
"The scope of the convention could be limited in the measures. Some proponents want everything on the table, from a reconsideration of last year's Proposition 8 marriage restriction to Proposition 13 to pretty much anything else. The approach carries some appeal; what's the point, after all, of a citizens' convention if citizens are limited in what they can do? But including subjects as diverse and as divisive as taxes and marriage rights invites the same kind of emotional turmoil that has plagued the initiative process and has gummed up the Constitution."
The Times is, of course, supporting this, claiming the public wants to go further in debt. "Our prediction: These measures would find a receptive public. Voters baffled and dismayed by Sacramento's paralysis are ready for a new approach." The Time is not supporting a new approach--just the same old higher taxes and more government. That is why fewer people are buying the LA Times, it is in its own world, thinking Cuba may not be all that bad.
This will not happen, but this shows how desperate the Democrats are to control us.
