Well, it got crushed in California. California is bankrupt – made so by liberals and RINOs who simply spent and spent and spent as if money appears by magic. There is no way out of the hole except by massive spending cuts – naturally, the liberals and RINOs in California tried one last time to get the people to sign away yet more of their wealth.
All of the propositions to tax, spend and use financial hocus pocus were soundly defeated – the only one which passed, by a nearly 3 to 1 margin, was the proposal to limit the pay of elected officials. Even San Francisco voted against against the measures – it takes a lot to get San Franciscans to cast a majority of their ballots against expansions of the socialist super-State.
What does it all mean? That taxes are toxic. People aren’t buying the financial sleight of hand. That government isn’t trusted, at all. And, I think, that the people are getting used to the idea of complete economic collapse and are just waiting for it to happen, so we can start to build our way back out of it – the Powers That Be know that when the rejection comes, they will be the people tossed out…and so they are trying desperate expedients to some how keep it all together in the hope that some how, some way, the economy will rebound before the 2010 votes are cast. Lotsa luck – but I’m counting on a voter revolution next year.
