California Democrats got their legislative supermajorities

Because most people would consider a tax cut a good thing and raising taxes to be a bad thing?

depends on who has to pay for the tax cut.

and no, this is no oxymoron, this is a truth democrats are bad at communicating.

Pays for tax cut : it's that person money in the first place

if you think you are entitled to your police, your hospital, your streets and your army...i politely disagree.

I think, all things considered, the burden should be on the politicians to convince the voters that a given tax increase would provide benefits for them that would outweigh the reduction in their income, but I suppose I agree in concept.

i would say, on the other hand, politicans should need to convince voters, that the specific public good they want to abolish doesn't help them in their daily lives and it's disappearance wouldn't hurt anyone.
