A poll of registered voters is useless.
California has rejected 8 tax increases at the polls in a row, the most recent the $1.00 a pack cigarette tax.
Jerry is California dreaming if he thinks this will pas.
Need revenue Jerry? Stop spending on illegal aliens — tens of billions right there every year Jerry.
Liberal morons.
hey, wait, I thought the Lottery already took care of that... (rolling eyes)
Yikes! This is economic suicide.
This is why I quit the state. Born, raised and lived my entire life there. But I kept getting hammered by people who said I wasn’t paying “my fair share” (I guess $25K in taxes wasn’t “enough”).
Fine, land of my birth. You wish to punish me for making good decisions in my youth (college degree in business, IT as a avocation) then I walked away.
Good luck replacing my tax income.
btw: Other than an occasional tornado (as opposed to occasional earthquake), Texas is great!
Governor Brown is getting his money from Indian tribes, among others. How much of this money came from Elizabeth Warren?
speaking of polls ....it looks like the LA Time poll nailed this one (snicker)
I thought it takes a 2/3 supermajority of voters to pass tax ballots?
Maybe that is just for local taxes?
Dear Good Conservatives of California,
Please get out of the future East Germany before Jerry Brown erects a wall to keep you within.
Sincerely,
Your Conservative friends in the USA.
On occasion I ask libs and others how much of each state tax
dollar funds California education K-12. Mostly I receive replies
from .5 to 10 cents per dollar. Most folks are astonished to learn
that it is actually around 40 cents.
Now Brown wants the people to vote on a new tax bill.
This is the same jerk who had no qualms about defying
the people’s vote when he was state AG. To helll with
him.
CA will collapse with this type of thinking, so we might as well encourage a rapid collapse. That way, the problem will become so obvious that even the liberals will be forced to fix the problem.
Productive citizens will leave the state, but at least their productivity can be realized in other states. Meanwhile, the higher taxes will not lead to increased revenue and the government beast will be starved sooner. This will lead to more lay-offs of public union employees which will eventually dry up union dues and political power. When public sector unions have less power, there might be a chance. Too bad CA couldn’t follow Walker’s lead and strip public unions of collective bargaining privileges.
Hows did that Prop 71 ‘Embryonic Stem Cell’ state funding work out for the all-wise lunatics of Sacto? Beware their costly ambitions on taxpayers..

The Moonbeam Plan: Raise fees and taxes. Increase regulations. Borrow more. Spend more. Give money to unions. Repeat.
Any questions, Californians?
