RW, > 'Cause they don't pay adequate property taxes. CA spending almost doubled over the past 10 years. Compare that w/ federal spending which went up 71% over the same period, and CA didn't have to pay for two wars. Even under Ah-nuld, spending went up 30-40% (can't find exact figures, that's just from memory). If we repeal Prop. 13 now, the ones who will be impacted are those who've been living in the same house for over 6 years. That might get some rich people, but that will also get a LOT of lower middle class people. Ah-nuld said it best. CA doesn't have a revenue problem. CA has a spending problem. (This was before the problem got too big for just spending cuts alone.) Tenchusatsu
