an estimated number of those in the school age is bracket is approximately 39512223*(.12+.13)= 9,878,055
so 2800000000/(9878055*(.12+.13)) is,… about a ballpark of just over a thousand dollars more per student (during the initial 5 year period after prop 15 passage) AND in the meantime there will be accelerated job loses perhaps much greater than what has already happened (which most likely will really hurt those on the low end of the income ladder,… i.e. women and black owned business) which is basically why the NAACP has said prop 15 isn’t a good idea (BUT has lots of teacher union backing)
NOTE FDR a democratic “hero” recognized public employee unions are a bad idea,…
[quote] All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or rules in personnel matters.
Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the functions of any organization of Government employees. Upon employees in the Federal service rests the obligation to serve the whole people, whose interests and welfare require orderliness and continuity in the conduct of Government activities. This obligation is paramount. Since their own services have to do with the functioning of the Government, a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied.
