Overturning of Prop. 13 sought in lawsuit (California)

6. You are so wrong.

Why do you equate home ownership with being a 1%er? Many of us are struggling just to keep our heads above water. Our biggest investment is usually our home. We have kids to raise and send to college so that they can learn and be better providers for their families. When Reagan decided to charge tuition at state colleges many people were robbed of the opportunity of an education. How can you say that we aren't paying our fair share? You sound like an embittered person who would bring everybody down just so that you can make your political point. I'm not rich but do have a house and drive an 11 year old van. How does that make me a 1%er? People work their entire lives just to have a place to call their own and raise their families. Your brilliant solution would mean that people would lose their homes in droves. How will that help neighborhoods. And here's something you didn't consider. If people lose their homes, the tax base would shrink and the entire state would go to shit more than it already has. I am a lifelong Democrat but the California Democratic Party is dysfunctional. Who do you think is going to reap any benefits from this? The poor? Hardly. There is such a waste and so much theft from the money that has been earmarked for programs benefiting the needy. You are just reacting to something you know little about. Get educated. Enforce the law against the thieves and wastrels and there will be enough money to go around. Think about the elderly and those on fixed incomes who could not afford to have their homes taxed even more.
