This would be laughable if the California Democrats weren’t so obstinate in the face of constant public rejection of these proposals. When the state that issued IOUs for tax returns was desperately trying to pass a budget, Democrats floated tax increases. Voters opposed, and a special election was called in which Democrats tried to sneak in opportunities for more tax increases. The ballot initiatives failed in what was another public rejection of tax increases.
I hate to beat a dead horse, but these Democrats aren’t listening. Even as Barbara Boxer’s Senate seat seems to be in danger (H/T Jen Rubin) and the state is on the verge of fiscal collapse from too much taxing and spending, the Golden State Democrats propose more of the same.
There’s no reason to believe these Democrats will change course, so the only way to solve California’s woes is to get rid of those perpetuating the problem. November can’t come soon enough, and it may be one of the last good chances Californians have to turn it around before their plight becomes really bad.
