I’m sitting here cruising the web, looking for some kind of justification for the tax increase the fine “leaders” of the state of California has just shoved down our throats. While doing so I found some interesting comments posted on various sites, So I thought I’d take a few of them and post them here for you to read.

Oh yeah we need to recall Maldonado, Schwarzenegger and Villines at the very minimum. We also need to put heavy pressure on 1st year assemblymen so they do get the idea that they have a future in sticking it to us. Also contact your local pie holes no matter what they stand was. don’t let them say “I didn’t support it so I didn’t vote…”. They are just as guilty if not even more guilty. Why weren’t they out there fighting for a no vote?

If you haven’t seen this post yet take a look at it, you’ll find a few links at the bottom to contact your Legislature and Senate members Recall Schwarzenenegger, Villines and Maldonado

Comments on the 2009 California State Budget

FoolNemisis:

Thanks Senator Maldanado for your political bravery, political astuteness, and sharp negotiating. Even a Liberal Progressive must admire your courage and ability as a negotiator, and your respect for the people of the state of California. In economic hard times we must all make sacrifices. Your actions were opportune and well played. Ignore the senseless political thugs in your party. It is you who came out the ethical person and demonstrated characteristics of a true leader.

Ragtop:

Explain how taxing the snot out of us is “good for the people”.

JRobbins:

This state is toast. We are run by liars, thieves and practitioner’s of the world’s oldest profession.

lunibin:

You respect them when they vote outside party lines? How about when they vote for the good of their constituents? Polls showed 85% of Democrats, Republicans, and independents, didn’t want the tax increases. So what party lines are you referring to? How about being the ‘public servants’ their supposed to be?

wkenddad:

When you lock legislators down for 47 hours straight; are they voting their conscience or their bladders, hunger or something else.

Karen Bass and Steinberg’s position was that if we lock them down long enough someone will break; similar to the treatment the Viet Cong used on POW’s.

This is not Government, this is psychological warfare.

Tim_Ca:

Maldonado signed a “no tax pledge” and campaigned on a no tax platform.

Maldenado is toast. Fiscal conservatives will never forgive him (and they shouldn’t). He lied to his constituents and he stabbed his party in the back, making Republicans even LESS relevant in this whacky state where the needs of Labor Unions and Illegal Aliens take precedence over hard working, productive, over-taxed state citizens. It will be a pleasure to see his political future shot down in flames.

Jturning:

Schwarzenegger, this was not good for California. This is just another example of your poor leadership as governor. First, the governor and legislature should have been saving money during the good years for this time when the economy slows. You all have been poor stewards of the tax dollars we give you, and you then force your incompetence on us by raising taxes. Spend within your means, so cut government waste, of which there is still plenty.
