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.
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.
As a Californian, it's confusing here. They worded shit so confusing so the average rube will fall for the trap and did. "No for gas tax, say yes on prop 6."
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.

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.

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

It's really simple. Higher taxes for those stupid enough to not take advantage of the system results in more giba for those who do take advantage.

Liberals claim they support minorities but Hilary got the popular vote, they should be happy that the minority candidate got elected!
