The childless, lying governor of our state has struck again – by coaxing a sufficient number of ignorant liberals to the polls two months ago to pass his latest scam.
Surely you remember rallies in Culver City last summer and autumn –
Gimlet-eyed educators – hopefully not with larceny in their hearts – gave their best circus barker speeches.
Aiming to appeal to the base emotions especially of uninformed voters, those who would have trouble spelling “Nov. 6” without cue cards, the educators begged them to “Save Our Schools” – that was the slogan du jour – by voting for Gov. Flat Tire’s pet rat with rabies, Prop. 30.
It was a deadly trap for the gullible, ignorant and ever reliable Democrat voting base – illegals, unschooled blue collar-types, recent idealistic university grads, almost-grads, welfare recipients and other single parents.
Helping Our Friends
This was a naked tax hike to generally increase Sacramento spending and, equally vitally, pump juicy raises into the already healthy pocketbooks of state workers.
Terminally ill politically with two incurable diseases, spending and lying, the governor, desperate for a fresh flow of taxes after having been rejected twice by the Legislature, turned to his favorite turkeys, the leaders and followers who work in California education, a vast garden of stool pigeons.
We were assured by the governor’s stooges – state controller Johnny (Clang, Bang) Chiang was his favorite tool – that, by thunder, “A vote for 30 will save our schools. Don’t worry, saps, I mean fellow Californians. Legislators won’t get their hands on these funds until schools have been taken care of.”
Sure.
Clang Bang Chiang’s already shaky image went deeper into the sewer last year after he made this television spot:
“With strict accountability, money must go to the classrooms and can’t be touched by Sacrament politicians.”
Balderdash.
Next, boys and girls, Uncle Flat Tire will read us the fairy tale of “Snow Green and the Seven Tall Dwarves.”
Of the $6 billion that the Prop. 30 tax is projected to yield, Gov. Tire in his budget last week set aside $2.7 billion – considerably less than half – for schools.
Much of the rest, my dear liberal chumps, goes to state workers.
Happy now?
