Krugman seems to be blaming the taxpayers in California for saying taxes are high enough. Apparently the idea of reducing the welfare state is not acceptable. It does not appear California is under taxing its workers relative to other states.


The Californians seem to want it tall, services and low taxes.

Which would you give up?

Police, fire, schools, libraries?

I think one could criticize people who want all the services and largess of the welfare state, but who do not want to pay for what they want.

If people want no services, and are willing to eschew the goodies, they have a less hypocritical case to make. But when you have those social security queens not wanting to pay taxes...well...
