Yes, but this is because you're a liberal. You can have Prop 13 when you take it from my cold, dead fingers. The income tax is high, particularly on high wage earners. Yup. 9.3% top rate. If you can't spend locally, then everything has to be funneled through the state level, which is inevitably going to entail additional costs. Well, no. You colect at the state level, then redistribute to the local level. Sales tax? Part of that in some cases has a local add-on; the state collects the whole thing, then gives back the extra part mandated by local ordinances. And some portion of it is earmarked for local gov'ts anyway. Spending cuts should also be part of the equation Do it all that way. top flight education system At the university level. Below that, hardly top flight. But you aren't trying to argue that there is a linear correlation between educational spending and results, are you? Sure sounds like it.
