“I really don’t mind higher taxes if spending is cut, and if Brown actually does cut spending, more power to him, he’s done more than 99.9% of all of the other politicians.”
With Brown and his dems in the majority, this is somewhat like Nixon opening up channels with China—something it took a Republican to do.
I do not believe the voters in California will support higher taxes, but I expect the dems will go all out to craft some trickery to get them.
They have killed the Golden Goose here in Calif, and there are fewer and fewer golden eggs.
Northrup Gruman will soon leave the state, and Fluor Corp. and Fidelity National Title Group already have done so.
IOW these three have joined other industry giants, taking their corporate Hq. to more business friendly locales.
Brown should be taking steps to stem this exodus. (Corporate taxation is one of the major issues, but not the only one. High taxation on employees’ incomes, high cost of living, deteriorated public schools, etc.)
This is a joke, right? Moonbeam will implement $11.2 billion in cuts is like him screwing Linda Ronstadt for virginity.
