That's great that at 9 years old you were already politically aware. I was in high school and college when he was the governor of CA. I even vaguely remember his dad Pat as gov, or at least my parents talking about him. I was born in Frisco, raised in Fairfield and moved to Sac in 1980 to go to school.

I remember Prop 13 too... and if I'm not mistaken, it was a citizen tax revolt. In fact, it was kinda right up Ron Paul's ideological alley. So, if you were a victim of it... why do you support a candidate who, as president would most likely work to have the same result at the Federal level?

Remember, Brown didn't pass Prop 13... the voters did.


So of all the time that name was on the TV screen in Ca you still spelled it wrong? Whatever, I just dont dig your smug attitude in your original post.

Yes, the liberal state of CA passed Prop 13 as a result of Browns lack of action to regulate taxes... You should know this as it was discussed throughout the years and was even a topic in civics when I was a kid.

No, at 9 years old I was bummed there was no pools in the summer and I couldn't play Sax without buying or renting an instrument. I wasn't politically aware, but I didn't forget it. Through the years I tacked that POS move on to JB list along with the beautiful new section 8 housing apartments and CARB. .
