The main point to take away from this article, is that the public employee unions and their cronies are very shrewd, do not underestimate their ability to ram new taxes down the throat of an already over burdened California populace.
On top of that excessive burden, a recession is on the way, if not already here.
And remember, there are many many people in California who depend on the welfare of the state ranging from gov’t workers to lazy bums.
And these people are all to happy to take all the money they can get from guys like me who toil along in the productive private sector (who btw have already taken substantial reductions in benefits and salaries).
This is as much about wealth distribution than anything else. The governor is a socialist.
