Proposition 13, jeepers, I didn't know it destroyed the schools and services.

I just thought it kept property taxes at a low enough level that people would not be forced to sell their homes as taxes went through the roof in a spiraling housing market.

Little did I realize it hurt the kids and people who actually received other services.

Had I only known, I certainly would have supported kicking all of the pensioners who could not afford the ever increasing property taxes onto the street.

I am sure those people would not have minded picking up their lunch in a dumpster knowing that some welfare queen would have enough money to buy a better brand of Scotch.

The typical liberal canard.

"You won't pay more taxes, and it is the kids, particularly the sick ones, that will suffer."

The dollar you save on taxes is always the one going to the forlorn tots who will be affected. For some reason, the liberal pols will never take that buck out of some other pot, no, it is always taken away from the children.

The problem is that this obvious ploy is a winner with the liberals who believe that it is only good intentions that solve problems.

In the famous words of Bugs Bunny: "What a bunch of maroons."

Obviously *Children don't vote*. So if you have a policy of using expenditure to buy votes, then you are not going to cut direct payments to actual voters.

This bit of liberal nonsense reals hits home with me. When Prop 13 was passed I was just a kid,one out of four, living with mom ,who was on a fixed income. We literally were at the point of being taxed out of our home until 13 passed. Later on in college during a conversation with a liberal friend he happened to mention prop 13 and how it "ruined things". After I told him about my own story he just shut up. Kind of sinks in to even a liberal mind when it gets personal.
