And so we come to another "election". The big heated debate in our area- Prop 29. The tobacco tax. The proponents say, "It will fund research", the opponents say "It is just another tax to impart morality". I think we should just look at the history of these "special" taxes. Remember 9/11? The two towers were hit by planes destined for California. So, the state proposed a special license plate "tax" to fund scholarships and what-not for the families of the victims. Last week it was disclosed that the funds were being "borrowed" to pay part of the deficit that California has accrued because of run-away spending. Hmmm, probably won't affect prop 29 money. After all that money is ear-marked for the families of the victims of tobacco.
California, were they keep doing the same thing expecting a different result. My father-in-law, (RIP) said he had to vote for Brown because "that woman" was going to spend all of his money. Hmmm, well that isn't happening now, is it?
America used to be founded on the principals of Liberty and supported by new ideas. We have politicians who are in place for DECADES. They lay around and maintain the status quo. And the people are glad to keep it in place. To have re-elected Brown, a man who nearly bankrupted the state before... this state is silly. And when they run out of other people's money?
Peace and love to you all....
