My dad was a personal friend of Howard Jarvis, author of California’s well known “”Proposition 13.”
Passed in the late, 70s, this has held property taxes down, and has survived many court attempts to change it.
Howard Jarvis was a smart old non-politician. A practical businessman, he determined the ONLY way to keep government spending down was to restrict the money they can get.
An elected President changes a few hundred people for a few years, but the underlying blob of permanent government employment keeps the regulations and bloat going, anyway.
So I say to Fred: Wonderful study. But good luck making much of it happen.
Reagan showed signs he did understand. Of course he was governor when Jarvis was in the news, so I’m sure they knew each other.
...and “Republicans” say it’s too expensive to build a wall.
What an effin joke.
