Steaming Load Award #1: Mexifornia Elected Tormentors give taxpayers, and the state constitution the finger

From Politically Incorrect Gazette --

Steaming Load #1: Mexifornia Elected Tormentors give taxpayers, and the state constitution the finger.

The central fact of political life in Mexifornia is that the state’s Demoncrats fall a few seats short, in both chambers of the state legislature, from having a two-thirds majority. Normally, lacking that built-in two-thirds is no big deal, but, there is one situation where, per the state constitution, a two-thirds vote of the legislature is required: raising taxes.

This week, the Mexifornia Demoncrats are making an end run around this pesky clause in the constitution. Unable to make the Elephant Clan ‘do the right thing’ - Demoncrat code for making the taxpayer ‘pay’ for the Demoncrat majority’s unrelenting spending binge - they hit upon a nifty scheme.

Instead of raising "taxes", the Demoncrats will avoid that two-thirds vote nightmare with word games. How? They will impose a mountain of new "fees", a task they can accomplish with a simple majority vote. The key distinction between ‘fee’ and ‘tax’ is, how the money is spent. A tax goes into the general fund and can be used for anything in the state budget. A ‘fee’ is imposed to fund one particular budget item. For example, a ‘fee’ on cars might pay for the roads.

The Demoncrats will pretend that the new ‘fees’ will go, exclusively, to the designated stated budget line item, but nobody is foolish enough to take them at their word. These turds can’t control their spending addiction and have no intention of giving it the old college try. Instead, they will run this ‘fee’ scam up the Sacramento flagpole to see if anyone will salute. If this scheme works, it will open the spending floodgates so wide, the ensuing Mexifornia debt will make the infamous national debt seem like chump change.

Mexifornia is too far gone to save. It’s time to do the right thing and flush this left coast blight out of the USA. Let Mexico have it back, since it has the requisite experience wrangling turds of this magnitude.
