Going out on a limb, election fraud is the answer

It's always sold to them as a tax on the rich so the poor buy into it. And it usually is when it comes to income taxes. It's the usage taxes and sales taxes that the poor just don't see how it affects them too because they're told it affects the rich more since they buy and use more stuff... Not that they necessarily do, but that's the pitch.

Also billions in unsold bonds that the state is supposed to issue. I think there's currently 80 billion currently sitting on their books that they can't sell right now cause the interest rate it too high.

I'm honored that you follow my work.

Yeah, I try to do that at least once every couple dozen comments or so. Can't just be a dick all the time.

Most of California's statewide propositions did not include raising taxes. Are you fucking stupid?

He's right. Only 2 of the statewide propositions were explicitly tax-related (5&6) and one was about eliminating a tax, the other alters how certain tax-exemptions may be transferred. All the rest are about how tax money may be spent, or bond measures or other stuff.

OTOH, OP may be talking about local measures, like SF's Prop C, giving a percentage of corporate revenues over $500M to the homelessness industry.

Taxes/Bonds, either way, money going from the people who earned it to the people who didn't.

And that has been a complaint about their props. They make government spend money without providing the income to pay for it.

Higher taxes on other people, that is. Only a small portion of the voters will be paying the taxes directly.

They have the highest poverty rate and now even higher taxes. Commiefornia will never learn. But the exodus of people leaving will only spread the worst to other states.
