He said changes are necessary to even out the state's revenues over time

Psst Arnold. I have the answer, but just between us...cut spending! Now go do it and you can take credit for the idea.

So are they looking for an actual overhaul, or are they just looking for more things to tax? The article seemed to suggest the latter.

“We are paying for the price right now of this outdated revenue system,” Schwarzenegger said.

It was chugging along pretty good there for awhile until the boom bust.. but the legislature went even more nuts and the Gub obliged and joined with ‘em and spent and borrowed like crazy.

DO ya think if CA cut spending on all support of the illegal aliens (last check was $15 billion / year) that it just might fix the state's short fall?

Tax the entertainment business. Movie theaters, venues that do live music (a ticket tax, if you will), comedy club, etc. There could also be a sales tax targeted at material that is primarily used for entertainment. Microphones, musical instruments, movie film. Seems there's plenty of wealth to spread around. Oh, sports entertainment too - tax that.

All tongue in cheek obviously. Bread and circuses will be the last things taxed.

Idiots!

Here’s the plan:

1) Cut taxes, across the board, especially on businesses.

2) Cut spending, across-the-board!

3) Put a dent in regulations, that have to be god-awful in California.

4) Finish the fence along So. Ca. border (it seems to be a sieve). On the southern part of that S.D. to L.A. Interstate, you see caution signs to watch for the illegals crossing the road. How are they getting in?

Tax revenues soar! Spending reigned in! Balanced budget, improved economy. Problem solved. Businesses feel welcome!
