“California has had caps on medical malpractice since 1975. You can sue for unlimited MEDICAL costs if there is malpractice, but the non-medical costs (pain and suffering, etc) is capped. And that cap has not risen since it was first put in place.”What you did not mention is the loophole that allows the Lawyers threaten to file ASSAULT charges as part of the suit (which is a very common practice now) which then removes the cap on non medical costs. So in reality there was not much to the “caps.”

DId you not know you were getting married in August!!!!
I’m sorry, but what I see here is a pair of people who are trying to con the government out of MY tax dollars. It just makes me sick that I work hard, play by the rules and do things honestly while people like you, with an entitlement mentality, figure out ways to screw the rest of us. And now you want advice on how to make it work.
Oh wait… it’s ok, it’s just the governments money.

As I read this, the amount of taxes in default has tripled since 2005, not the total amount of property taxes collected. At $168 million, that is just a bit over $3000 per default.

The big problem with the site you linked to, if you read the authors “rebuttals” (or at least the ones I looked at) they all basically say “the skeptics have cherry-picked the data to support their claims.” Then he goes on to cherry-pick data to discredit the skeptics!
