Rather than conclude the obvious -- that decade after decade of high-tax, anti-business, anti-growth policymaking designed to sate an ever-expanding state is ultimately unsustainable -- a handful of liberals have found their culprit: Proposition 13, a measure limiting property taxes passed by voters in 1978.

Aren't they right in a way? With the ability to raise property taxes, they probably could have kept it all going for another 10 years at least, before it collapsed. Long-term thinkers, these are not.
