Yup, the problem is not revenue but spending. they refuse to reign in spending so they just keep raising taxes.
Just curious, but who is "they?" If you're a resident of California, "they" is elected by "you." So if folks don't like the State's spending practices and are sick of higher taxes, then throw the bums out.
Can't have our cake (lots of spending on infrastructure, as an example)
and eat it too (no $$$ to pay for it). As folks are hopefully quickly learning on the Federal level too.
Illegal residents and undocumented workers are a BIG part of what is to blame out there for taxpayers taking it in the chin too (medical costs, income taxes not being paid, crime/prisons, etc.)...but rather than stew over it, what are folks actually going to DO about it?!
