Maybe you can explain the constitutional political process by which Doofus can unilaterally raise a tax by tripling it without legislative approval. There must be a lawyer somewhere in California who will want to make a prompt BIG name for himself by taking that scheme down. I know that McClintock plans on taking it to initiative. If the governor can act unilaterally, when will we hear Ahhhhhnold pledge to reduce it to its original level unilaterally or abolish it altogether? Why not?

Maybe you can answer the other questions I posed in #245. If you cannot, may we conclude the answers will not serve Arnoldmania? In northwest Illinois, we have no car taxes despite Boss Daley, the Chicago Machiner, et al. I'll [pay mine. You pay yours. We each get to bear the chain we forged in life, like Jacob Marley. Our income taxes are far lowwer than yours. Our property taxes seem competitive so long as one prudently avoids living in big Demonrat cities.

I am pretrty sure that I know how the election is going to go and it will not be to Arnold. That is not the result of an ego trip of McClintock. He is doing the necesary job of retaining the existence of Republicanism in California in the wierd circumstance of no primary. You are frustrated because many will not be steamrolled into voting for a Demonrat in drag. You did not take up the challenges in #245. You probably won't. That is understandable.

I'll tell you if I am committed to something. It won't be car taxes. I would file the suit if I lived there. I don't have standing since I don't pay it. You do have standing. Do something about it and I don't mean that you should trust Arnold, Buffett and Wilson.

There isn't one. It's not as if he actually gives a damn about that technicality.

The key issue is that the courts can't enjoin collection of the higher tax until the appellate process is completed.

So he gets the money.

And you're perfectly content to allow Busta Rhymes to continue looting my pocketbook. <

He's already done so. DO try to keep up.
