"The people" have destroyed my neighborhood. These dumbasses have voted for EVERY SINGLE INCREASE in education spending the last 10 years here(what a bloated waste with completely unnecessary new multi-million$$$ buildings and etc.) and now they are laying in there own excrement.

The property taxes here have almost tripled in the last 10 years and now "the people" have a collapsed real estate/property market here with property taxes routinely seen at between 5-8% annual of current market value of homes on the market.

What a mess. Never underestimate the ability of "the people" to be completely bamboozled and led astray by the crooks.

Sooo, you don't believe in democracy? Or is it that when people vote other than how you want them to they are just dumb?

They spoke indeed. However, they probably mostly consisted of:

- make less than 200k or 250k of income (I think that's where the tax cutoff points occur)
- lack of ability to think forward

This should fund a nice branch of their state tax collections agency and make incremental changes and inflation gnaw towards taxing everybody. Also, the spending will go from 'just schools' to much further beyond.
