And he can pass into law exactly how many taxation measures without the Democratic-controlled legislature, again?

Hint: The number is somewhere between 0 and 0.

So when you said "All on their own" you really meant "with Arnold"

The dems couldn't pass any taxes without republican support either, contrary to your oft-repeated assertion.

The legislature couldn't pass into law any regressive tax on gas without Dem majority, support, leadership, and authorship.

Which they had. And led. And did.

You said they passed it 100% on their own.

Is anyone saying otherwise AA? You are the one that was spouting the nonsense about "all on their own"


It is like you think people pointing out the factual defects of your argument is some endorsement of some other random argument.


This thread reminds me of a great german word.


Schadenfreude

California democrats instituted a new tax and passed it into law, via a Dem controlled legislature, via a Dem-led bill and Dem-led committee process. Winning with a Dem-majority vote capable of driving it through.

The Governor signed it and executed it.

If you want to claim some victory over the word 'instituted' because it somehow helps you turn away from the hypocrisy of the Dem party in sponsoring, writing, voting, and passing this regressive tax, feel free... I guess... ?

Any of this makes the Dems not hypocritical... how, again ?

So basically we all agree you were wrong on the factual assertions you made. Glad we cleared that up.

Actually the tax change included a tax decrease as well as a tax increase as myself and others have pointed out and you refuse to address.


To attack this change as especially regressive is retarded any way you spin it IMO because the tax already existed. You can attack gas taxes in general I suppose but then you can't tie it to this particular legislative action. Which is a pretty damn stupid thing to get all huffy about unless you are some partisan dumbass and the merits of tax policy are not as important as your partisan crusade.


Arnold was even the one that came up with the structure for the change anyway.


Like I said awhile back the topic(state taxation and progressivity) is interesting and worthy of discussion but you are too stupid and too partisan to have the conversation. You have a poor understanding of facts and are driven by a stupid partisan agenda.
