Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa called for the state legislature to repeal California’s Proposition 13. Prop 13, the People’s Initiative to Limit Property Taxation, was enacted by voters in 1978. It restricts property taxes to 1% of full cash value and limits increases to 2% a year.
“It’s time for progressive to start thinking and acting big,” Villaraigosa said. “The government needs money. People who can afford to own property have more money than they need. We shouldn’t let a vote taken over 30 years ago stop us from extracting some of this excess wealth from property owners.”
Villaraigosa contrasted his “forward looking” approach to that of the “reactionary ideologues in the Tea Party,” and demanded that Democrats in Sacramento “act before it is too late.” “After the 2012 election the enemies of progressive policies may have the upper hand,” Villaraigosa warned. “If Republicans win, as seems likely, the assets and incomes of taxpayers may be out of our reach for a generation. We must make an effort to grab them now while we still have the chance.”

He should just stick to boinking reporterettes
There it is: People who own property have more money than they need, and the Government wants to take it.
He isn’t hiding his plans.
***People who can afford to own property have more money than they need.***
Oh, GOOD GRIEF!
He wants everyone in Section 8s.
He just wants to steal more tax money from the real citizens of California to pay for the residents of Northern Mexico.
He sounds like my kind of guy. I busted my tochus for 45 years, so he can come in and take some of my “wealth” (that I have too much of). I always can use help in getting rid of it, Uncle has left a little after taxes. This guy is worse than armed and dangerous. He actually has his hands on some of the levers of power.
Good one.....had you begun with Jerry Brown instead of Villar, I’d have swallowed it hook/line/sinker.

...and just why, pray tell, would I possibly want to read more, of what a
C R O O K would like to do with someone’s assets and incomes?

That is TRULY FRIGHTENING!
The same thinking would come up with “You can’t let that Constitution thingy stop us. It’s over 200 years old!”
It’s satire, people.
You could always launch an invasion on Beverly Hills, and start seizing bank accounts.
But Tony is the person who actually said it publicly last week. It's probably his way of launching his campaign for Mexifornia Gobernador.
LOL another good one John.
California needs to repeal commie populists like this guy...before it is past the point of no return.
Pretty upfront about his tyrannical nature, isn’t he? Embrace your inner Marxist, my good bandito!
Should go over well with the mexican nationals who vote for him.
It is sad that this satire is exactly the way libtards think.
TRANSLATION: IF YOU HAVE ASSETS, SELL NOW AND LEAVE THE STATE.
Moron.
