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

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

Are you retarded? Yes on Prop 6 would have been better for the populace. Now we're still paying high gas taxes and the legislature can enact more whenever they want.
Did you even read it?

Going out on a limb, election fraud is the answer

I dunno what to do.. I was born here this is my dad's house. I might not have very few good memories of the area. But my dad was a good person. I don't think I could stand selling this house and letting whoever just trample on all the memories I had here..
But I really don't want to be in california anymore..I just can't see the advantage of living here..I don't get why so many wealthy people move here. If I were wealthy enough I'd just live in the midwest somewhere and fly a helicopter daily or something for a job if my company was here.

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.

What the fuck? Did you just make a valid contribution?

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.

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.
