Of course they want people to be outraged at what the LACK of taxation has caused so they will go along with more taxes and more spending.

Why is it that when they need to cut spending they threaten to cut police, fire, emergency care, hospitals, schools and release convicts early RATHER THAN cutting wasteful travel expenses, pay to top administrators, welfare fraud, useless "feel good" programs, etc?

I must agree with you 100% on this one.
It's a scare tactic to lead one away from the TRUE cause of waste.

We just had a special election last week. Every measure on the ballot was to Raise taxes (On average double state income tax) and every one of them lost but one. 1F (No pay raise for politicians till we get a budget).
Californians sent a loud and clear message to Sacramento, "You are milking a dry cow!" We are the heaviest taxed state in the country
Businesses have moved out, some agriculture has shut down or moved, all because of taxes.
Bottom line, Tax the crap out of us You <State Government> will lose everything when we move out lock stock and barrel.[;)] as whats happening now.
