PRESTOPUNDIT -- "It's a team sport, baby!"

Why is California in trouble? According to the unofficial Democratic Party newspaper in Los Angeles, it's because we aren't taxed to death quite enough:

When, at last week's news conference, [Schwarzenegger] placed Proposition 13 and tax increases hors de combat for the duration of his campaign, he tagged himself as yet another politician unwilling to reexamine the self-destructive policies that have brought the state to its sorry pass.

-- Michael Hiltzik, The LA Times

Here's my California recovery program -- give a lifetime Paris fellowship to the entire leftie / Democratic Party press contingent, along with a similar fellowhip to 40,000 or 50,000 of the leftie academics who train budding journalists to think this way. Somehow these folks believe that a new Republican governor should be the tax collector for a corrupt union controlled government -- and everyone not on the government payroll should work two jobs to pay for this corruption. Give me a flippin' break.
