Yeah, I think the last CA legislature was out to win the Nobel Prize in Stupidity. I have a question: If taxes increase, would a rich business owner 1. Cut back on his/her family's standard of living - move to a smaller house, take the kids out of private school and place them in a public school. 2. Cut back on the number of employees, or employee benefits so that the owner can preserve as much of his/her own standard of living as long as possible. THAT'S NASTY! :-)

It trickles down for better of for worse for those that work for someone else...perhaps the liberals and union heads will learn not to bite the hand that feeds them. . .

From what I have learned, many of the power companies sold their energy producing plants off at a huge profit and moved the money into other entities. Now they are short of power and want to raise the rates. If you want to find out the truth, hook up to kgo.com and listen to Dr. Bill Whattenburg tonite at 10:00 PCT. He is very independent of both political parties and is a PhD in nuclear energy from Cal Berkeley. His CV is astonishing and he's a straight shooter. He'll tell the absolute truth and can back it up cause he warned the Ca state gov't against de-regulation several years ago. He predicted the situation we have today.
