[Tokala]

There is plenty of blame to go around in what has made California such a dysfunctional state.

You cannot, however, take Proposition 13 and pretend it's not part of the problem.

If a proposition is put on the ballot most of the time it requires a simple majority. Three strikes and the prohibition on same-sex marriage were done by a simple majority.

Taxes?

A 66% approval is required thanks to Prop. 13.

California is like Scandinavia with no taxes.
