Yes, right. And not just right obviously right. Note I am not talking about the overall issue here only your specific statement that CA was "one of the most agressive places to reduce taxation in this country". It is possible for you to be right on the overall issue and still be wrong on that claim but it is obvious that you are at least wrong on that claim. What I said was that CA was "one of the most aggressive places to reduce taxation in this country". It was...whether it was successful is open to question by you. If you accept the reality that the taxes have gone up a lot then we can debate if the "a lot" was too little, just right, or too much. That particular debate however is less subject to simple fact checking like my research in to tax and spending rates. How much government spending is "enough" will always be an ideological issue at least as much as it is a factual one. What is at issue is not whether taxes have gone up a lot or a little but whether there were enough taxes collected to adequately maintain CA's infrastructure and state programs. My contention was that there were not enough tax dollars raised. Nothing you have posted has changed that opinion. ted
