California Proposition 13 has sown the seeds of that state's coming demise. By freezing property taxes for long term residents, newcomers will bear the excess burden of taxation. This is like double-indemnity to young families who wish to live in these areas close to where the jobs and factories are. They are low on the salary totem pole, have a growing family to support, and are trying to pay an expensive monthly mortgage. Which certainly puts Daddy and Mommy in a real pissy mood in the early evening.
Unequal taxation is the real root of the fundamental inequality in the California economy.
If I were to steal the property tax assessments of certain middle class communities and post them on every door, I guarantee that those unfairly burdened with taxes would be savagely attacking those unfairly relieved of their fair share of the tax burden. An inequality that is only being aggravated by cutbacks in the military socialist industrial complex. Save Our State is a collection of racial zealots, selfish conservative ideologues and obnoxious nazis seeking to transform the state into California uber alles. A normally pragmatic politician, he has decided to ride the fascist wave that is dislodging many moderate politicians in favor of the new extremists who came into the Republican party on the backs of Ronald Reagan and George Wallace. Well, I suppose it's better than having them run loose out of sight of the media.
