>> But only 13% of savings actually went to the citizens. 87% of that tax money went to coroporations with large tracts of land (agriculture, warehouses, ...). Are you saying that not taking money from people or corps is the same as giving it to them? I didn't steal $1000 from the person next store, and therefore I gave him $1000? Corporations are leaving CA by the droves. Neighboring states are advertising in the local papers to lure them away. Over 7,000 companies have left in the last few years. Your post makes it sound like CA's problems are mostly just an accounting matter of how the money is routed around ("Many would actually argue that prop 13 destroyed California"). Is this what you're saying the main problem is?
