Did it really never occur to you that what we should do is
*REDUCE* *SPENDING*????

I find this "the Legislators say they need more money so we have
to find a way to increase taxes" mentality absolutely AMAZING!
What answer would you give your teenage son if he said "Hey Pop,
I'm dating a fancy girl now, so you better find a way to increase
my allowance"?  Yeah, I thought so.

Anyway, I say thank God for Proposition 13 -- at least now the
crooks^H^H^H^H^H^HLegislators have to *WORK* to spend more of
other people's money!
