Ted, > Let me see.......more expenses, less income. You do the math. So you think the high expenses are OK. Just raise taxes and let the problems that you correctly pointed out continue to sink the state financially. Why ask me? According to RW, CA is 47th in terms of educational expenditures. That means the kids of CA who have some of the greatest needs in the nation are getting a minimalist education. It makes absolutely no sense. And yet, the rich people in CA don't care because they can send their kids to private school. We could try actually addressing the problems that you pointed out, but I have news for you. The same party that you continue to vote for is the party that is responsible for creating those problems in the first place. They are also the party that is heavily invested in keeping said problems around for a very long time. That's where we disagree. The party that created Prop 13 was the R party. Back then, CA was a R state. Think about that the next time you argue for higher taxes. I think you need a better understanding of the state in which you live and what its history has been.
