NOT SURPRISING BUT IRRITATING

By Bob Walsh

 



The California Supreme Court by a unanimous vote threw the Taxpayer Protection Act off the November ballot today.  If passed into law it is likely it would have had some effect at reigning in the rapacious behavior of our legislature.

I was not wildly surprised but I admit to being irritated and disappointed.  What SHOULD happen is that the voters, some of who are actual tax payers, should vote to throw the bums out.  It is, however, hard to vote against Santa Claus and the people who are working hard to keep your father, your brother and your cousin out of prison, or get them out if they are there already.  

We might not get the government we deserve, but we sure as hell get the government we tolerate.
