CA: Newsom Says Citizens "Lack Capacity"

[BassCliff]

Hi,

Since I still have a lot of friends in California I tend to keep an eye on the shenanigans going on there. The latest is the "governor" trying to deprive the voters of their rights guaranteed by the state constitution. The "citizens initiative" is the best thing that every happened to state government. It allows Californians to put initiatives on the ballot that can become law if voted in by the people, in order to limit governmental control and taxation. Believe me, it's a good thing. Newsom says the voters "lack the capacity" to decide on "complicated" tax matters. He's arguing with the state supreme court to block the measure, depriving the citizens of their constitutional rights.

Gavin Newsom Claims “Voters Don’t Have Capacity” to Decide on Tax Hikes

This week Governor Gavin Newsom asked the California Supreme Court to block the California Taxpayer Protection Initiative from the November ballot. Newsom argued that “voters simply do not have the capacity” to decide on “complicated” matters like tax hikes.

Carl DeMaio has been battling this madness for a long time. You can hear him speak on this subject below (20 minutes).

I voted for Prop 13 in 1978, and all the other tax reform measures since. I hope the citizens there tell the uni-party to pound sand.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Newsom married a gal from my state.

Apparently, the in-laws say he's insufferable.

And he gamed the new CA minimum wage law to get relief for his own businesses.

I believe very few folks on this forum are surprised by his remarks on this subject, or that he's been reported to be insufferable. Additional unflattering metaphors spring to mind. . .

I watched him in a debate with DeSantis. That man oozes arrogance. I don’t normally yell at the TV but I couldn’t restrain myself. I am my grandpa’s little girl .

Newsome is an unholy, arrogant and power loving tyrant who needs to be voted out of office and left in the dustbin of forgotten history.

that may never happen, for whatever reason.........after his current term ends,

he will run for the white house, and he will be elected.

by then, i hope a good strong republican will run as well, and long before that, voters will be fed up with the dumbocraps.
