OT: No bailout for California

[SD Realtor]

Peter you and I don’t agree on much but you absolutely nailed it. If people don’t think that 1% property tax on what is clearly the most overinflated housing market in possibly the world is enough then they just don’t get it.

The state legislation simply does not understand the concept of a balanced budget.

It really isn’t that challenging of a concept.

After last month’s ballot measure results, does anyone really believe that CA voters would overturn Prop 13?

One needs only to look at other states that have no Prop 13. The states that have full, unrestricted ability to not only raise property tax rates, but also reassess value every year. They’re all running massive deficits too.

It’s the spending. Pure and simple.

It’s all of the above – mark my words though – nothing will really come of it except possibly more fees and taxes.

Assembly members will still get their 120k salary + free car (many opt for a Lexus of course) + free gas + free insurance + 30k per diem + this + that….

If only that was the problem, and not just a symptom.
The problem isnt the few million the legeslator rewards itself with, it is the billions that are spent taking care of people and the costs of providing that service. The medical bills, the Schools, healthy children programs, the free lunch/food programs, the roads and infastructure etc etc etc. All the stuff that sounds good but we dont want to pay for.

Basically there alot of people out there taking alot out of the system and putting little to nothing back in.(Most of them are either old, or very young.)Those putting into the system dont want to put anymore in, so the system is running out. We either need to put more in, or expect less from the system (You mean Octomom cant have 14 children, many of whom are special needs, and have the state pay for all their care/education/costs!) She is only an extream example of the real problem.
