i am an arizona homeowner, and i am a US citizen....i don't jump up and down when i have to send in my estimated taxes 4 times a year, but i understand that it costs something to run this state and the country, and i am willing to pay my share

for the most part i favor lower taxes as i feel that they encourage entrepreneurship and engender economic growth, but i know that sometimes increased taxes are necessary, at least for a time

with the knowledge warren buffett has in the area of finance, i would have to defer to him in this case...i would hope that the overall plan in CA will be to reduce the crazy spending that they have been doing of late, and perhaps in that case a tax increase will not be necessary, but if it is, at least in the short term, then so be it...and i would feel this way if i lived there too

most of my family lives in california and i know that the overall tax rate is higher there than here, or most other places in this country for that matter....however, last i checked there were no steel bars keeping you or them in that state....if you don't like the way the state is run, do something about it or move, but as long as you stay there, feel free to assume that you will have to pay your part...IMHO, assuming that arnold will be governor within a month, and that the crybabies and lawyers will be thwarted in their inevitable attempts to challenge any and every aspect of the election, your state will be better off, and your tax burden will probably improve, as compared to leaving a big spender like gray davis in office

<Buffet's first advice to him is to increase the property tax. >

So wait a second? Ya'll were up in arms over the car tax increase? And voted in someone who will repeal that tax, but is being advised to increase property taxes?

Sounds like trading one crook for another to me.
