RE: [RC] CA State Parks - SusanI think it would be nice if the equestrians could do something similar to the off-roaders but wouldn't it limit the places you could ride? Since I do not ride in National Parks I am curious on how that would work. Not to belabor the issue but I came across this today and decided to pass it along. A recent poll commissioned by Investor's Business Daily asked, in effect, "What share [of the tax burden] do you think the rich pay?" In the poll most folks said the rich should pay a higher share but actually they thought they should pay lower than they actually do. But here is the comment I thought was the most enlightening. "Liberal families earn about 6 percent more than conservative families, yet conservative households donate about 30 percent more to charity than do liberal households. And conservatives give more than just to their own churches and other houses of worship. Conservatives, especially religious conservatives, give far more money and donate more of their time to nonreligious charitable causes than do liberals-especially secular liberals."

Not that this is the place for this discussion.

But it is the Republicans who have blocked every tax increase for the ricos because they have 40% of the legislative seats. But that's ok as long as you believe the poor deserve to be poor.

They were making the budgets the last few years with Arnold signing them. -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Sherrell Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 8:30 AM To: Ridecamp Subject: FW: [RC] CA State Parks Cut money to schools, healthcare for poor children -- thank God for the 60% legislative supermajority requirement to increase taxes, gotta protect those rich Republicans.

So that the politicians can come back and get their tax increases.> Yes, of course that is exactly what it is. I tried to look online to see exactly where the proposed budget was going, but they are pretty vague about it. I heard there is a good sized chunk set aside for seals. Good for them, but I think they could give up their share in order to keep our parks open. The seals seem to be doing just fine...they have their own private beach in La Jolla for goodness sake! Used to be the Childrens's Beach until the seals took it. Before this the scare tactic was taking away our firefighters and police... and letting felons out before their time was up. There are many many ways to cut costs, but they are not giving us choices. I think they should hand out a checklist of where the tax dollars go and allow us to choose where we want our money spent. State and federal. That would put things right! Katee =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
