Leaving California.........

I don't think any politician is running anything properly. One of the reasons i'm considering Trump who is finally enforcing the law and has the correct foreign policies. The socialist left scares me as much as the fascist right. So there has to be some common ground, and suggesting that fellow Americans could bring devastation in a state because of their views being different is un American.

But they do bring devastation do they not? Someone is responsible for the negative things happening to a segment of the population. I dislike both parties as they no longer have the best interest of the US citizen but I am 100% conservative. The Socialists and Communists are no longer hiding in the Democratic Party but I do not see a Fascist Right equal in any aspect but maybe you can give me some examples. It’s difficult to compete or challenge the left when they have taken over media, education, and news. Instead of defending or debating the merits of their policies, they hide behind the words racist, homophobe, islamaphobe, etc. as most of their policies are indefensible. The right doesn’t have any redeeming qualities either but to pretend there’s not a huge advantage when it comes to the battlefield of politics is disingenuous. Today’s politician is basically two sides of the same coin as true conservatism no longer exists at least at the federal level.

Man , that's s mouthful of truth. I can't claim to be a Dem or a Rep. If you listen to them they both want lower taxes. Then how can we have higher taxes. All liars for the most part. We need a new party. Conservative. For my part I'm proud to have voted for Donald Trump. I believe he has done more for our country in 2 years than Obama and Bush did in 16. I like a billionaire in office. He's not out to get my money.

So Larry , maybe you should have to present a "paid" Real Estate tax bill at the polls and then be issued a correct ballot. The Constitution declares it unlawful for Congress to impose anything on a constituent that it does not impose upon themselves. So why should your fellow man be able to do so?? And like you I'm not trying to argue. And my kids have been out of public schools for 20 years. I don't really mind paying a fair tax. But look at the millions of renter's that don't pay any school tax and have four or more kids that are a burden on the "taxpayer". I guess what I'm saying is that those parents should help "share" the load.

That is a fair point. However, the apartment owner(s) pay property taxes that do include taxes for the schools, so, indirectly the renters are paying at least some of their rent to cover that. The latest thing where I live is that the school district now gets just over 1% of the sales tax collected. It was increased specifically for the local school district, so everyone (including visitors) who make purchases are contributing to the school district. Taxes are so convoluted!!!
