SAN FRANCISCO—In approving a ballot measure sought by Gov. Jerry Brown to raise taxes for several years, Californians took a step toward improving the state's fiscal situation and avoiding education cuts.
According to the California Secretary of State's website, 53.9% of voters backed the measure, Proposition 30, while 46.1% voted against it, with all votes counted except for provisional and some mailed-in ballots.
The approval is a significant victory for Mr. Brown, a Democrat, who has staked his governorship on a campaign to raise taxes to ease the effects of the state's budget crunch.

These computerized voting machines are working out very well for progressives.Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

And clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 NASB

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

Taxes are supposed to be subject to popular vote, civil rights aren't. Originally Posted by JB

It is a big deal you asswipe. This is going to hit the poor in this state more than the rich you ignorant fucktard. The rich can move out of here while the poor are stuck here. It's also going to drive businesses out of state, taking the jobs they provide with them. Maybe if you actually lived here you would understand but, then again, if you did live here you would have voted for this abomination. I'm fucking tired of out of state assholes like you saying "big deal" when they're not affected by it in the least. Originally Posted by Novaheart
