A property tax cap is not a tax cut anyway, so the title of this thread is even more baffling.

No the simple fact is that California spends more than it takes in. Everything else is just a cause to that effect. So just as much as no increased property taxes is a cause, so is increases in spending. And property tax increases have been sidestepped by Mello Roos taxes.

And guess why the "takes in" part of the equation is lacking? Because of Prop 78.

I may be wrong but are you referring to prop 13? And that is just one of many reasons the budget is fucked. I'm not sure how you can single out one event. Every dollar spend has the same effect.
you gon always be my latin queen bitch:
people spoke up about this....but as usual the gov't dont listen....the gov't dont care and its a business..simple as that

Yeah, sorry about that it was passed in 1978 that's why I got confused. Prop 13 also needed the state congress to pass any raise in taxes to have a 2/3rd vote. Recently, it was changed in 2000 but that still has caused a lot of problems. It's the root of the problem. Why should any program that needs government funding should suffer because of the taxpayers revolt in the 70s?
