ROFL!
They already raised income taxes (and sales taxes and vehicle taxes). And we already have a lottery.
The problem is not that the state doesn't have enough revenue. It is that they spend too much. Give them more money, they will just spend 110% of it and create another deficit. It's an addiction. The only way to cure it is to cut them off.
Wow. They always threaten that — without education spending, we (the economy) will all collapse!
Hey, give us School Vouchers, Teachers Unions, and we will see how “bad” the economy will be. We have a 50% drop-out rate for LA public (government)schools. Can vouchers & school competition be worse than that? No, that’s not what the data shows.
Competition among schools helps IMPROVE educational outcomes, forces public schools to improve performance to retain revenues.
It also means better quality at a LOWER COST to taxpayers.
Apple today is looking to build a server farm in North Carolina. Even the uber-liberal’s are fleeing. I love their products, hate their politics.
