tax machinations

I prefer the term basic civics.

Under California law there are only two classes of individuals who can unilaterally create, increase or eliminate a direct tax.

1) The electorate through a simple majority vote on an initiative.

2) The Legislature through a super-majority vote on legislation.

The Governor of California lacks the authority to create, increase, reduce or eliminate a direct tax without the written cooperation of the electorate or the legislature.

The usual suspects are well aware of the governor's limitations but persist in spreading their big lie.
