Democrats voting state into ruin

◼ link - Times-Standard Letter to the Editor

This is an open letter to all of you Democratic voters:

By your recent actions, I can only assume that you love high taxes and fees. First, you passed Proposition 30, which raises already high sales tax even higher. It will not be a temporary four-year tax, and there is no accountability no matter what Jerry and his cronies tell you.

Next you approve a completely unbalanced state government (supermajority), which has the power to pick our pockets. A Democrat has never seen a tax he didn't like. Or a fee hike, either.

The election wasn't over even a week when state Sen. Ted Lieu said he'd like to triple the vehicle registration fee. That's just the start. Down the road, when you are whining about outrageous taxes and fees, don't blame the Republicans. Remember who you voted for on Nov. 6, 2012. Why should I be surprised? You must be the same voters that gave us another four years of Obama. Thanks for nothing.
