I can add nothing to your excellent post. You go, guy, you and Jfred, and others of your "elk." More later. Sincerely, Holly

They get by in every other state without locking in the tax rate, why should California be different?

For the record my first home was $47,500 in North San Jose. Of course you did! LOL What an incredibly self serving post, and I see all the usual suspects "congratulated" you with a bunch of attaboys. You are a drain on the system, it is you who are a socialist trying to dump your expenses on your kids. It must suck to be you, to feel that you need to pass laws to make your future liveable. How about going out and learning to WORK for a living, eh? BTW if you think 2% of less than 2% is a "reasonable rate" of appreciation for services inflation in this economy you really are confused, or you went to schools where teachers are paid 30K/year in a region where it costs about double that to live a quality life. Now where would that be? LOL.

>Now really try to hear this. It matters not what your neighbor pays. That's an independent variable. Thats his /her business. Not yours. Its not a matter of fairness. And anyway, life ain't fair. What fairy tale did you read in school that told you it should be? But if your house appreciates, you're entitled to financing (hence, indirect subsidies from federal government) that's not available to others. You're taking advantage of others. >The important thing is to constrain the tax and spend socialist governments that crowd around this taxation feed trough. But guess who is the bigger beneficiary of the government? The 30 year olds or the 80 year olds? If we revoke the right to vote for the retirees, we will have a very different form of government. People under 18 don't have rights to vote, so why should the nursing home residents?
