Voter complacency and ignorance is killing not only our state, California, but the country as well -- just look at what the Congress is trying to do to us now!!! (illegals issue)
I have seen surveys that state that most voters rarely STUDY the propositions and referendums that come before them. If it says "education" on it -- they vote for whatever it is -- not really knowing what their vote means, or what the real content of the measure is. It is true. Many propositions are deliberately written upside down, because slimey politicians realize that the votes this "yes" means for, and "no" means against. Not so in an "upside down" written proposition. It is an old trick.
In our state, we are taxed to confiscatory levels, paying in many cases for things we should not, and do not, want to pay for --- like $10 billion dollars per year to reward illegal criminal aliens in our state. This, nowadays, with our liberal state govenment working against every element of sanity left in the voting base, my voting is simple. If a measure creates more debt for the taxpayers, it gets buried -- if the opposite is true, it gets supported. Most items voted for are buried because of this -- and government, especially our flaming liberal government of this state, just does not get it. To them, the voting taxpayer is an infinite resource of money, never-ending.
