re: #52 Dreggas

The progressive tax structure in this state has little to do with our budget issues and a lot more to do with the fucked up way in which our legislature operates along with a government by ballot initiative system which has been used to limit the ways in which the state can raise revenue’s while at the same time increase spending programs.

It doesn’t help that everyone wants these programs but when it comes time to pay for them they freak out.

Proposition 13! My exhibit A for why ballot initiatives should be illegal.
