Its really pathetic to see good ol’ Jerry Brown begging for votes to RAISE TAXES in obviously poor and minority districts (the so-called Democratic Party Plantation). It being precisely the residents of these neighborhoods that are most hurt by California’s higher and higher and higher and higher taxes (in their 9% sales taxes and in the incredible loss of jobs ... employment whereby they might improve their lives and even escape the down-trodden “Plantation” neighborhoods so they maybe won’t be taken advantage of so much by politicians trying to trick them into voting to tighten the chains that hold them back, year after year, in the ghetto (the other name for the Demo Party Plantation). Politicians really think voters, and especially black and other minority voters, are stupid, dumb, easy to hood-wink. The people should feel personally insulted by this put-down of their intelligence...
West LA is not exactly poor.
