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.

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.

Well trump eliminated their tax credits for homeowners.
California is being attacked federally and locally.

It's either complete and utter brain washing which is very probable, or the polls were not clean also very probably. Why would the vote not repeal the gas tax when it was voted down, then signed into law by moonbeam...so it goes back on the ballot only to be approved this time???

Wow, I didn't even notice that. All in the wording for the sleeping masses...
Where's Q? Someone better get with it on Calif before it's an actual war zone. Black choppers no markings, fire storms, mass shootings, ballots that mislead...

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?

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.
