Don’t fall for their trick! Politicians (Republicans and Democrats) are masters at manipulating us. Government spends existing taxes on pet projects and then forces us to vote for essential services. It’s a trick. And when we fall for it, politicians just do it again. But not this time!
Property taxes are skyrocketing now because of explosive valuation increases due to huge demand, limited supply. That’s why rent increases are skyrocketing and cost of housing is spiking. Prop 1’s $2000 tax increase (that’s the average) will only make that worse. Politicians are asking for this massive tax increase because it’s more than the law allows. Don’t fall for it!
If politicians believe this program is essential, they already have tons of taxes for it. Since 2012, government increased taxes 41 times costing taxpayers $62.3 billion (https://tinyurl.com/64-Billion-41-Tax-Increases). That’s on top of highest sales tax in the nation (state/local), highest gas taxes, employee taxes, utility taxes, business taxes, and tons of fees. We’re taxed enough already! Besides, state and local governments got billions more in federal bailout money.
Voting no forces politicians to prioritize spending using existing revenue. But bailing them out only encourages politicians to keep trying to trick us. Vote no.
