Prop 13 , wasn't that an initiative run by Harold Jarvis, wingnut anti tax douchebag and hero of the right ? Sort of a stretch to blame a Governor for an initiative, don't ya think ?
Additionally, aren't you one of those 'limited government' types here, perhaps it's just as long as the government is 'limited' to only what you want to get, and the others, well not so much.
Seems I recall that Pro 13 came out of Cal Supreme Court decision, regarding constitutional issues surrounding the financing of public education down there........................
..............next....................laffin'......................this is too damn easy today.
Had JB done his job and reduced taxes, a massive outrage would have never happened. So the initiative was a direct reaction to his actions (or lack thereof) as Governor... well at least this is the general theory of most who lived through it and my history teachers, but I am sure you are probably right, since you did call me a wingnut and all.
My point was not prop 13 anyway, it was my experience with JB and that being the first among many things that has soured me on him. His unyielding support of CARB who almost killed the company I work for about a month before Christmas 2000 was another. His reaction to a devastating crime rate to put up cameras and enforce a curfew is another... (I had a dear friend shot in the head and killed during this time, after curfew and the cameras didn't do a thing)... talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight... it was a rubber butter knife to a war, but hey... if you like him, more power to ya... I heard he likes Jefferson Airplane and the Doors, so he must be pretty cool right?
I am a limited government type, but that doesn't mean that I am pigeon holed by some sort of blind party faith... I am just gonna call [censored], [censored].
