Re: Just another tricky day in America

It's been said that in a pure democracy, the poor will always vote themselves the monies of the working. This is true and is happening in this state, and is the true cause of our bankruptcy. And it's what Prop 13 fought against.

True democracy is nothing more than mob rule. Most socialists fail to understand this and set as the foundation of their beliefs the idea that pure democracy is capable of some sort of unerring divine wisdom.:rolleyes: Anyone with a brain can figure out the US is sunk. Do the math.

Uh Steve, as much as you hate Ronald Reagan and would probably like to see his remains dug up and dumped into the Pacific, I think it was Howard Jarvis who organized and led Proposition 13. And didn't it pass overwhelmingly? And despite continuously rising taxes and regulation in California ever since, hasn't the California Legislature continued to spend more and more and more money on just about everything? Where is the responsibility of the governor and legislature to STOP ever rising spending at the expense of the suffering taxpayer? Does that responsibility not exist?:confused:

Raz, I agree with you that the spending by the State of California must be limited. Even a socialist like myself would agree with you that spending by government can not go on forever, without a limit. Yes, past governors of California should have met with the State Legislature to seriously limit State spending.
