Flashback in honor of our upcoming April 15 date with the taxman: individuals desperately seeking actual legal requirements to pay individual income taxes and assert they found nothing. How did their claims hold up over time?

Prop 13 proved tax revolt is a proper option to keep in the political action tool kit. Prop 98 permanent California school funding in response to Prop 13, with no accountability strings attached, proves what voters should never do again.

Two sources of free flowing crack providing life support for Beltway and Sacramento bandits:(1) mandatory withholding taxes; and (2) Prop 98 mandatory distributions to state public education.

Yes Henry, the taxman cometh. Totally agree with the sentiment that we as homeowners are merely “caretakers.” We continue to pay ever increasing taxes in order to fund the bloated government machinery. So glad my kids are out of public schools, what an utter disaster. We continue to fund a system which has failed our children miserably…all funded by property owners. Interesting how many wealthy land owners in SB County eliminate their property taxes all together by donating their property to “SB Land trust.” That’s maybe what people will have to do in the future when they pass, ie turn over your home keys to County coffers in order to fund this crushing debt. So much for leaving your home to your kids.

Let’s see, 1 in 7 properties now tax exempt? That number will continue to go up, leaving the rest of us to pick up the tab. When will the money run out? Where is UCSB Economic Forecasting as to when the music stops and all the chairs are gone?

Is anyone surprised that Governor Newsom is now hitting up the Fed for $4 billion to shore up Medical? Why? Because the money supposedly was spent caring for illegals who have now bankrupted our system. Or, how about Newsom also pleading for nearly $40 billion from federal taxpayers in order to fund the rebuilding of LA?…and then finding the time to “rebrand” himself on a new podcast platform!

You simply can’t make this up it’s so outrageous.
