Yes, Democrat politicians love big government and hate tax cuts. So they make themselves richer while making individuals and families poorer.
But with the Democrat Party running things (and running down everything), has California already “hit rock bottom” and is now climbing up out of the miry clay?
In the June 2 primary election, around 30 tax hikes, tax extensions, and bonds were rejected up and down California, even in liberal big cities. And that’s significant.
For when more voters oppose money grabs, they stop trusting the deceptive words of Democrat Party politicians and union bosses, and they’ve begun a new voting habit!
