Over the last two decades its been fascinating to observe how the SF Bay Area is so liberal in its voting, not just the inner urban core (San Francisco and Oakland), but the whole area, from Marin county in the north, to Santa Clara in the south, plus the East Bay of course. In November we will have Governor Browns tax increase on the ballot, with most of the increase hitting those making over 200k or thereabouts. It will be fascinating to see how wealthy Bay Area liberals vote on this measure, which will raise California's state income tax up to three percent for some wealthy earners. In the SUSA poll of the state, support for the plan is 13% higher in the Bay Area than the state as a whole, but lets see if this keeps up. One nice thing about it, is it finally gives a bunch of California wealthy liberals who in the past have been upset about tax cuts on the federal level, a chance to vote for some taxes for themselves to pay. Hopefully they appreciate Governor Browns efforts on their behalf.
