“Prop 13 is the last bit of fiscal sanity left there. Lots of hardworking people were able to stay because their houses were grandfathered in to low taxes. If they raise those, everybody but the welfare class will leave.”
Absolutely! I fought hard to get Prop 13 passed and have been like the Angel of Death on anyone even hinting that we need to weaken or do away with it.
Rape/tax/spend liberals have been waiting for decades to weaken and destroy Prop 13. Now their wait is about over.
I do think the drawback to Prop 13, is that it created an excuse for the State to step in with more funding for things that should have been funded at the local level.
I am all for cutting taxes, but more at the State and Federal level. I believe that most of the taxes we pay should be for local taxes and the local municipalities controlling that spending, where there is more control over what that money is spent on. The money has to come from somewhere, and where that money comes from will determine who has the power over that money. All Prop 13 did was pass the burden onto the State, and even the Federal level, and the liberals will use any excuse to expand their power.
