5/18 How did you vote? I voted: No on 1A-C, and Yes on 1D-F
\_ I voted yes on 1A because I want tax to be as high as possible
to increase our standard of living, and to get rid of people
who are otherwise unfit to live in California-- they should
move back to Arizona or other anti-tax states. Viva
La California de Republica para Socialism!
\_ I actually don't mind a small tax increase and I think a spending
cap is a good idea, but I didn't like that the governor can
override it whenever he wants and that we have to contribute
to this "rainy day fund" even when we are having "rainy days".
12.5% also seems like an awfully large amount of the budget
to set aside. With some changes I would have voted Yes on it.
\_ I'm hoping for 15%, on top of much higher property tax,
as well as 45-50% tax for the wealthiest Americans. Will
that ever happen in America? Hell no. But somebody's
gotta try. -pp
\_ California and Arizona have the same overall tax burden:

But don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.
\_ I voted no on 1C and yes on the rest. Pretty funny that you would
ask how people voted and then censor their responses.
\_ I'm the original poster and I didn't censor any responses.
Must be someone else. I didn't even see any responses other
than the very first, which I responded to.
\_ I haven't voted yet, I'm still trying to decide on a couple.
1A: Not sure, the write-up seemed good, but the argument against
was much stronger than the argument for. Very complex.
\_ You do know that the arguments for/against were written by
the same people, right?
1B: No. Schools never seem to have trouble getting money in good
year. If the years are good, they'll get money, if not we
years. If the years are good, they'll get money, if not we
can't afford it.
1C: No. I hate the lotto.
1D: Not sure, transfer money from 1 child service to another?
1E: Not sure, transfer money from metal services for adults to kids?
1D: Yes, the yes argument is better.
1E: Yes, "" ""
1F: Sure, why not? Screw those guys.
\_ No on everything. That should be the default position, and there's
nothing compelling in this slate. -tom
\_ Not sure that follows here. Props can only be adjustd by props,
and that's basically what 1D and 1E are.
\_ Agreed. 1D and 1E try and undo damage that previous props
did.
\_ Tom agrees with the Bay Guardian.
\_ We may hold the same position on this; that doesn't mean
I agree with them. -tom
\_ Surprised he isn't pro-tax and pro-schools.
\_ You got what you wanted. The cuts at the UC are going to be
severe.
\_ What I want is to get rid of the 2/3rds majority bullshit
that we have right now.
\_ I like it.
\_ GO GALT!!!!!! |
