GOP Wimps
It was too good to be true to believe that the Left Coast Republicans could actually have the guts to start recall proceedings against any of their elected officials who vote for higher taxes. The person who proposed that is now being pilloried & censured by the party's executive board.
If both big parties see nothing wrong with continuing to squeeze the taxpayers, who is looking out for the taxpayers' interest? It was this very attitude in the PRC that made me want to leave ten years ago after 38 years in what I had always imagined would be my life-long home.
As this article describes, a short-sighted move by the rulers in Sacramento to dig out of the current fiscal problems by raising taxes will just end up making things worse for the PRC as more businesses and taxpayers finally reach their limits and bail.
