Breaking down Propositions 30 and 38

The problem with 30 and 38 one will pass, the one with the most votes and from the way it looks 38 will stick it only to the working class so 30 get's my vote!

Both sounds good on paper, but will schools realy come out ahead? Will it be like the lottery, profits going to the schools but for every dollar from the lottery a dollar was removed from the state budget for schools. Untill Sacramento learns to manage the money they already receive instead of giving unions raises and supporting illegals I'm voting "NO" on any ballot measure seeking to increase any taxes

No we are not the highest sales tax state Arizona is.5 higher then we are, now if you add in local taxes CA hits the highest of 9.75 some states are over 11%! With the .25 we will still be lower than Arizona!

Ok I'm voting yes on 30 for the two reasons, first with 30 everyone will be hit with the increase even the non-working welfare for life locals, the other reason is if it doesn't past 38 will and the working class will be hit with an income tax increase and pay while most get off scott free in this area!

Sorry, but as I keep saying, until there are fiscally responsible people in charge of schools, cities and the State, I will continue to vote NO on any and all new, extended or increases in taxes and 'fees'.
