Treasurer Phil Angelides staked his campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor yesterday on a bold, if politically risky, proposal: raising taxes to fully fund schools.

As if the state Educracy isn't already overfunded by a factor of three.

How much more funded can CA schools get? We are in a morass of spending now and this idiot want's more taxes. Typical democrat and, lately, typical republican. All they know how to do is spend money and get no results. Funny how we used to spend less on schools and get kids who were educated in the process and now we spend more and get kids who are brainwashed into thinking America is the worst nation in the world. We need fewer funds and fewer politicans and down with public schools.

In due time, that is the prize Big Enchilada that unions and liberals alike seek and work toward tirelessly.

Democrats counter that Schwarzenegger's budget proposals have relied on tuition increases and benefit cuts that amount to taxes on the poor and middle class.

Vote Arnold.

Although he has talked about increasing taxes before, Angelides made it the central theme of his campaign in a speech to supporters and later during his first debate with his June 6 primary rival, state Controller Steve Westly.

No one who runs on a platform of raising taxes is elected to governor in California.

Bustamecha tried and lost. Now, it's Phil's turn.

It would seem that he really doesn't want to be governor, after all.

Gotta fund all those illegals children who are coming to California for amnesty!
Plus, gotta continue funding the over 3 million illegals children who are already here.

Stick it where the sun don't shine Angelides!

I'm still sticking it out there and predicting voters will sucker for another rich fella, Westly over the Gubinator in the fall general.

He's a GRay Lite vs. aRnie who has morphed into a Gray Heavy.

It's too bad we can't have a candidate who is a fiscally responsible choice for Gub, huh?

My state seems determined to commit suicide.

Contrasting the California I moved to in the early 70's to today brings a tear to my eye.

Governor promotes $7.9 billion "tax increase" on California businesses, in name of "global warming"

Governor Is Urged To Push For Monitoring Of Emissions
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-greenhouse3apr03,1,7009057.story?coll=la-headlines-business

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's top environmental advisors, in a report on how to combat global warming, are recommending that the state require power plant operators and other heavy industries to report the amount of greenhouse gas they emit. The report, which is expected to be released by the Schwarzenegger administration today, is the first step in fulfilling the governor's pledge last year to enact firm targets for reducing carbon dioxide pollution beginning as early as 2010.

Great. Raise more taxes on the producers and investors in California, the people who take the risks and create our jobs. First raise their taxes to pay for universal pre-school, then to "fully fund" education, whatever that means. Soon we'll have driven everyone who creates businesses and jobs out of California and the state will be nothing but illegal aliens. Maybe if we started controlling our borders and kicking out some of these illegals, we'd not have such a funding crunch for schools since they're the ones who are straining classroom and budgetary capacity here.

Better yet, let's track them down in their workplaces, demand payroll records and force them to pay 50% taxes on their incomes to pay for all the demands they're placing on this state and its institutions and infrastructure instead of raising taxes on those who work hard, create jobs and prosperity and play by the rules.

But no we won't do that because illegal aliens are a protected caste here in California. California's new state motto needs to be "Of the illegal alien, by the illegal alien, for the illegal alien." They're the only ones prospering here.

We figured all that out a long time ago. We have been waiting for hubby's retirement. It has now happened and our target date for leaving is 2007. I can't wait!
We are ceding California back to Mexico. They can have it!

Raise taxes. More money down the bottomless rathole of education. Any other good ideas?

We left California March 6th...for good.

The massive reconquista marches began soon after.
Angelides wants to raise taxes to pay for the burden of illegals.
The SF board of supervisors is spending time passing resolutions against my Catholic Church....

I can't help but feel we got out of there in the nick of time.

I've never been one to cut and run. But we thank God every day that we were able to.


Sad.

I'm going to cross over in the primary. Any of you guys have thoughts on which of these two nitwits Republicans should vote for to support the distasteful but, in my mind, necessary, agenda of re-electing Arnold in November?
