I like the potential lawsuit-friendly aspect.

Does this mean every state is at the top of its own personal Laffer curve, at whatever share of tax it is currently taking? Massachusetts just raised the sales tax from 5% to 6.25%. That should increase revenue smartly. I think we would all agree that if not for Prop 13, California would be able to raise revenue pretty easily, if not nearly enough to fix its overall budget problems. People paying $150 in property tax a year on a $600,000 house do have the capacity to pay a little more without "going Galt." But it's an academic question.

That is partially due to Prop. 13. Oh, and that was from 3 1/2 years ago. Title: Re: Poizner says that his tax cuts will increase revenues for California Post by: paul718 on September 22, 2009, 12:34:29 PM Poizner's right on the ball, in my opinion, but I don't think he'll be able to do it. Precise tax cuts will increase revenue, but in order for the increased revenue to be realized, spending must be held at a constant (allowing for inflation). This was where Bush failed. The increased revenue was spent before it was realized, to the point where forecasted surpluses were turned into deficits. After two terms of Schwarzenegger and his fruitless campaign for fiscal-restraint, I'm not sure that California can handle such an idea.

Cut taxes to cut taxes and follow it with a strict and exactly identical decrease in spending, not to adhere to the Reaganist supply-side religion that has as much to do with real life as an utopian scheme.

The California constitution requires a balanced budget, so in theory any tax cut would be paired with a spending cut. In reality, spending has far outpaced tax revenues, in adherence with the Democrats' tax-and-spend religion.

When something is seriously wrong, it is always and entirely the other lot's fault. With time it will come to you.

ORLY??? http://www.burbed.com/2006/04/11/600000-940-sqft-home-with-free-mud/ (http://www.burbed.com/2006/04/11/600000-940-sqft-home-with-free-mud/) What is your argument? Someone who would buy that house today would have to pay the full property taxes on that valuation. The problem lies with those who bought houses for cheap 20-30 years ago and are just sitting on their overpriced properties without having to pay their fair share of property taxes. This of course leads to an inflation in house prices since people don't have to pay higher taxes when the value of their home goes up and thus they face no pressure to sell their house when prices go up. If property taxes went up with property valuations, many would be forced to sell their house which would in effect "correct" the inflation in house prices we saw in California.
