this guy is the biggest water carrier for the democratic party i have ever seen...he's got to be some sort of caricature right
Your shift key is broken.
As far as I know, Prop 13 placed no restrictions on the power of the Legislature to curb spending in order to meet projected revenues. Time to give the Nobel back PK.
Wake up people! Liberal ideals sound all great and wonderful. But in the harsh light of the real world liberal ideas are a failure. It sucks sure, the world is a mean, unfair, competitive place. Accept it, account for it, and work for success.
I think we need a Constitutional Amendment to ban government from owning property, collecting taxes or distributing monies or goods to individuals or corporations.
That should fix it.
Huh? Property taxes are the problem with the state budget? Here in Texas, we have NO state property taxes, only local and county.
The man is an idiot and an economic fool.
...It is because Arnold wanting to be more like a Democrat than a Conservative like Rush Limbaugh that has gotten the Golden State its tarnished bond rating on Wall Street...heck, many of us who are residents are praying for Limbaugh-like statesmen to come in and overhaul the wreckage.
Some of us weren’t lucky enough to get baskets full of bribe money from Enron for “consulting fees”, so we can’t afford sky high property taxes like Krugman.
Well said.
“This man is an idiot and an economic fool.”
He has been demonstrating that for years!
This guy is about the stupidest Nobel Prize winner in history. Raising taxes and giving the money over to wasteful bureaucrats is not the ticket to prosperity. How can the man write an entire column about the California government and not mention its runaway spending?
Maybe he's just shiftless. :)
How does this dolt hold any job that isn’t McDonalds related?
To paraphrase the church lady, “Might it be, could it be, CONSERVATIVES?” No, it’s liberals and their kowtowing to every leftist interest group, minorities, unions, feminists, “environmentalists”, illegal aliens, etc. No, no, blame the responsible folks for the miscreant politicians’ misdeeds. Bob
Any tax at all on homestead property is immoral!
New York has problems very similar to California’s. Are Republicans the culprit there too?
It seems like more than a coincidence that America’s two big blue states are both drowning in debt.
Prop 13 was and continues to be a disaster.
Sadly, an example of why I&R is not a good idea.
Representative republic means NO direct democracy. I&R is direct democracy. IOW, allowing the inmates to run the asylum.
This guy’s supposed to be an economist?
