California Tax Tyranny

California overtaxed, so voters required 2/3rds supermajority to raise taxes. So they overtaxed some more (and whined). California had a problem with fascists tax-and-spend progressives -- so the public rebelled and made it required that politicians could only do major tax increases via the will of the people (they had to referendum things), and that these required supermajority (2/3rds) and not a simple majority. So they overtaxed some more (and whined that it was too hard to raise taxes). ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2019-06-26

California had a problem with fascists tax-and-spend progressives -- so the public rebelled and made it required that politicians could only do major tax increases via the will of the people (they had to referendum things), and that these required supermajority (2/3rds) and not a simple majority.

Since the state is run by Democrats (statists), they appointed enough statist (leftist) Judges to just ignore the law as written, and make court rulings saying that a supermajority wasn't necessary any more if the tax was initiated by a special interest instead of by the government itself.

Since the left collaborates between their special interest and their legislators, this is a distinction without a difference and guarantees the people be burdened more without the process they are due.
