They tax our retirement income and capital gains, our property, our cars, sales tax, they tax our electric bills, our gas bills, our water and trash bills, and many more. They then steal it. We are screwed by the politicians and there is no hope in CA.

Everything is a scam with Newscam.

The fools who continue to elect these people are not going to wake up until they see the flood of 40 days and 40 nights of “rainy days“. When they are locked out of the ark, then watching their elected officials sail away with their money, maybe then they will realize they’re stupidity in following these people so blindly.

"The fools who continue to elect these people . . ." You are so right - _that's_ the problem ! It's not the politicians - they're snakes doing what snakes do - it's the jerks who keep voting for them! Is it possible the Commie-Dems are even stupider than I thought ?

Will we ever get rid of newsom before he destroys CA? And in the wings is no skills Becerra waiting to carry on the scam

It has always irked me that when my costs rise, I have to tighten my belt and cut costs, doing without vacations, and sometimes even necessities. In contrast, our elected officials live in luxury, get rich at our expense, and when they should be cutting costs themselves, they happily raise taxes and vote themselves another raise. I'm not sure who they think they are representing, but I know from writing letters about important issues that I have no representation in Sacramento or in DC. Enough is enough.

Why would anyone be concerned about this?

High Speed Rail is a joke and will never meet costs vs. use.

The Radical Democrats close refineries that are very efficient to buy overseas oil from countries that tolerate Calif. at best and run the cost of gas up.

The Legislature approved $130 million plus for "active" transportation that has failed at such a large degree even the blue dogs are complaining.

Calif. is losing workers and businesses at an astonishing rate because of taxes, spending on failures, inflation and the list goes on.

Oops almost forgot the really stupid radical socialist high density "stack'm & pack'm" building while people leave.......

This new proposition will just continue to hammer the late not so great state of Calif. For What?

If you vote for this you are blowing a hole in the already sinking ship of "state?".

I believe California has a deficit of 8 billion dollars, but they give illegals college tuition, how does that happen

Eric Gordon's avatar

Try about half a trillion dollars and counting

Total state government liabilities: ~$497 billion (largest among the 50 states). This includes bonds, notes, unpaid obligations, unfunded pensions, and other post-employment benefits (OPEB/retiree health).

BTW, have you seen the horrible children books Newsomes wife sells or maybe she writes them, not sure? Disgusting!

Generally, unless I am persuaded otherwise, I vote "NO" on all propositions sponsored by government agencies and or political entities in California.

Love the Orwellian title of this Proposition. "Budget Stabilization account Cap Increase and Gann Limit Changes". Stabilization is probably the last thing it will do to our budget by giving our drunk spendthrift politicians in Sacramento more leeway to spend the money. It also gives the impression that the supporters of the Gann Limit are in favor of this irresponsible ballot measure. We need someone else besides the Ca AG writing the titles for these referendums.

Nice work in getting this message out to help educate voters.

Like rats scurrying for the scuppers when the lights come on, we need to expose these criminals from the beginning. Not with 'letters to the editor', but, in a way that hurts them.

How? Professional ads in the media in plain english with complete details, their picture and one step away from slander. As a matter of fact - let's hope for a slander lawsuit where we can explain in complete detail why they're robbing us !

Politics is dirty, so . . . let's fight dirty !

Hmmm, maybe we should make the billionaires pay the same tax rate I do.

Nshan's avatar

If I had a lot of money I would take every loop hole I could find.

Remember when "tax the rich " was about millionaires? Now these millionaire politicians are pushing the "tax the billionaires ".

California spends more than it takes in. That is the bottom line
