Lol. Basically, people are inherently selfish and only think about their best interest in mind.
Of course folks with government pensions don’t want their gravy train to stop. It’s “unfair” to change it. And of course people that don’t have pensions don’t mind seeing them cut.
And of course people with rental properties do not want prop 13 repealed. Of course folks without rental properties want to eliminate prop 13 so people with rental properties can pay for the pension gravy train.
There’s no point in discussing what “should be done”. What “should be done” is what would benefit you the most and screw over anyone else if necessary, and that depends on what position/situation you are in. So there’s no point arguing this. Everyone wants to keep their gravy train intact.
Just like for me, I’ve realized obamacare is a great thing. It means a lot of you healthy people (even those on fixed income) will end up having to pay for much higher premiums for “their fair share” into a healthcare system so that people like me that was born with less than desirable health can eventually qualify to buy health insurance to pay for my $40-50k/year medical expenses that insurance ends up paying for…every year….
Get other people to pay more than you for things. It’s the american way. I finally get it.
