The big lie about Prop 13 is that it freezes property taxes forever. It doesn’t. I does set a limit on property taxes after the property changes hands. Then it can only go up so much, but at the time it sells, the property taxes are adjusted upwards. The new owner pays a much higher rate than the last owner.

The problem with no limits on what property taxes can be, is that you have retired people having to sell their homes, because they can’t afford to pay the property taxes, even if the home has been paid off for decades.

The Democrats who always hawk the idea they stand up for the little guy, are angry as they can be that they can’t swindle Mom and Pop out of the homes they retired in.

Black Bart had nothing on these leeches.

I know of no person who thought Prop 13 would freeze Property taxes, and I can't for the life of me think how you took my comment to mean that. It is good prop and was much needed. Too bad we didn't follow up and vote for more tax restricting props such as Prop 13. This article is bitching about all tax cutting measures and propositions that are voted on by the people.

A dimwit wrote it, so naturally it is against cutting taxes and wants to increase taxes and spending and take away even more power from the people. What she means by ungovernable is the fact that the CA gov doesn't have complete control over us and in fact must abide by our wishes sometimes.
