Man, talk about leading with the agitprop!

SACRAMENTO (AP) - Negotiators said they would resume talks Thursday on California's stalled budget as tensions mounted over the last remaining stumbling block - reforming how the state pays for the operations of local governments.

What's this crap about "state pays for local government" when the property tax was supposed to be for local government in the first place?

If they state and fed taxes weren't so damn high anyway to begin with, the local gubs could do their own thing taxation-wise and allow locals to control their own spending and provide services they, as a community, decide are necessary.

Gubmental intrusion at all levels of society has brought us to this point.

Now, the trick is to get the "enslaved" to realize they been had and we are deeply engulfed by socialism and time is a'wastin.

We need to do two things to starve the beast in California: abolish the income tax and make the state government dependent on the sales tax and have local governments subsist on the property tax. That will give us the kind of government we need in our state for the 21st Century.
