Are you joking? How about a better return on the money we spend? Kalifornia is one of the highest taxed States in the nation yet almost every public service is totally mismanaged, provides a dismal return on each dollar, and is constantly crying for more. Look at our schools, roads, law enforcement and public safety agencies, transit, everything. It's all run by morally bankrupt unions who are fleecing taxpayers left and right.
You want to keep feeding the beast? Where does it end? Businesses are already leaving Kalifornia in droves, as are affluent residents. Yep, keep raising taxes until all the money leaves. Brilliant. We need representatives with the balls to get our spending down. You don't have to pay more taxes to "have it both ways". This once WAS a well managed and well funded State.
