I have recently learned from a friend who used to live in California that there was once a referendum put out that asked the voters did they want to raise taxes or vote to discontinue public school buses thought the state. The peoples voted there be no public school buses.
Now. I have not had a chance to do my research and confirm this however, I have no reason to doubt it is true. In passing I asked him about a skit on the Daily Show and he dropped that little bombshell on me.
With all the shit I like to talk (and boy do I) I had nothing to say to that. I can only repeat that which I have been given as fact. California voters did not want to raise taxes. The taxes would go to provide the state’s children with transportation to and from school. They voted against the tax even though they knew they might be killing school buses all over the state. Wow.
Fuckin incredible….
Okay okay… So I have a couple few questions…. Do they not understand that taxes pay for services? Are they so self concerned that what other people and their kids need not matter at all? Do they not understand or do they not care? Sometimes I wonder how fucked up the country would be if we the tax payers could INSIST our monies go where WE wanted them to…. What does the average person think is not important enough for their tax money?
California voters once said public school buses.
