Taxes
The middle class is being taxed and whittled out of existence. The tax system needs to be reformed so that our state can survive but this does not mean we need to raise taxes to do so. I believe with wise trims an compromise on budget items, California can once again have a balanced budget. We can not do this with the two parties who keep on raising deficits. I can not and will not propose or vote for legislation to raise taxes.
"The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations ... This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution." -John Adams
