Bond measures ARE raising taxes.
You can call it a bond. You can call it a licence fee. You can call it a revenue enhancement. You can call it a permit. You can call it tariff. You can call it a duty. You can call it a property assessment
IT'S STILL A FRIGGIN' TAX!
Just because you push off its effects onto another group of people (our kids, in this case) doesn't make it right. Until the State budget is cut back by at least 25%, I'll not vote a single penny out of my children's pockets. When we are no longer paying for gangbanger tattoo removal and schoolteacher sex-changes and monuments to racist La Raza monuments and everything else the legislature buys votes with, I'll consider another bond.
What Arnold needs to do is play hardball, and line-item veto everything in the budget that isn't a vital service until we are spending less than our income, not run up our State credit card another $20 Billion.
and "you can call me Ray, you can call me Jay, but you doesn't has to call me Johnson!"
