Once of the measures we are voting on in Santa Clara County is a parcel tax for “medical care for the children”. Apparently, the billions of dollars we already pay in taxes is spent on something other than the children, so they need a new tax for said children. After all, who can say no to children? Only the meanest spirited of the rich would not pay more for children.
This is not a tax to guarantee funding (nice salaries, benefits and full early spiked retirement including partially tax free disability pensions) for government union workers finding themselves under attack because of no money from the state.
