By David Springsteen

Say no to new taxes on November 6th.

Californians pay some of the highest taxes in the nation and every election the major focus of the politicians is to target our wallets.

The pro tax politicians and unions hide behind threats to public safety, and cuts in education in deceptive campaigns to go after more and more of our money. They never address the real problem, that being the need to reduce and reform the burdensome, and overbearing government bureaucracy. Every election, they claim crisis is inevitable, and use fear to manipulate voters into increasing our taxes. Interestingly enough, fiscal crisis has never been successfully averted through the increase of government revenue, and California has remained  in a continual state of economic decline.

Insuring increased  revenue for the politicians will never force them to stop wasting taxpayer dollars or practice fiscal responsibility. It will only allow them to maintain their current perpetual course of action.

Let’s put a stop to all new taxes this election and hold  government accountable for all of the money they already claim from us.

Vote no on 30 and 38.
