From “An Open Letter to the People of California”:
I am filing today an initiative with the Attorney General’s office that would generate nearly $7 billion in dedicated funding to protect education and public safety.

My guess is the dummies say “hell, yes”.
Well this CA will vote no on this BS and I believe many others will also. The deal is this, he is including a sales tax in the bill. A sales tax can no way be considered a tax on the rich only.

Mobocracy at its finest !
LOL, my spell checker wants to replace mobocracy with democracy, maybe on to something.
I read that there are 118,000 people in California that pay more than half of the California state income tax. Brown and his econnomically illiterate allies assume that all of 118,000 high income taxpayers will stay in California and pay 12% income tax instead of 9% income tax. Brown and the democrats will learn the hard way that 9% of something is better than 12% of nothing.
Maryland lost 1/3 of their millionaires after a similar tax. The left promised $100 million windfall from the rich but the state actually lost $100 million because so many rich moved out.
Birds gotta fly.
Fish gotta swim.
Democrats gotta tax.

The sleeper must awaken.
Start with a 20% entertainer tax on movie actors and producers.

Well, some similar intitiative got shot down here in WA state last year, this is another dumb Moonbeam idea and an old one at that.

Even the Porn industry is moving out of California and moving to Arizona and Nevada.
When you have lost the Porn Industry, you have lost America

2% and a 1/2 penny increase in the sales tax?
That’s a lot of money coming out of wallet.
