"What I do think it represents is a true compromise. I say it's a package that has something for everybody to hate."
You might think that the above quote regarding the California budget compromise comes from a bitter citizen. Maybe from radio hosts such as John and Ken who are standing up for taxpayers.
No....incredibly it comes from State Assembly Speaker Karen Bass!
How many of us have jobs where we can turn in a project that each of our bosses will hate, and we could consider that a success? Therein lies the problem. Our elected officials have forgotten (or never knew in the first place) that the citizens of California are collectively their bosses.
That is why Can The Lottery is so vitally important at this moment. A much as I am against government taking increasing percentages of our hard earned dollars, this is about more than money. It is about power and responsibility.
The politicians believe they can continue to waste money and replenish it by raising taxes, without any fear of consequences. They may as well be poking at the voters, asking "What are you gonna do about it?" We have been bullied by our "representatives" for far too long. It is time that we, the people, regain our confidence and restore our power.
Cut off the politicians' financial pipeline and we end their power trip. Can The Lottery!
