So do you want a State with a slightly regressive sales tax that is thriving financially or a financial basket case like California?

I know you aren't suggesting that this is the difference between the two states, at least I hope you aren't.

Prop 13 was the brain fart that hobbled California.

Holding property taxes to 60's levels on houses that appreciated to million dollar levels.

It always comes down to greed and the power of the haves to dump the tax burden on the have nots. (Or Bush's characterization of his base as the the haves and have mores)

The country is sunk if we can't figure out a way to stop that, and we damn sure aren't making any progress this election cycle.
