Prop 29 is just another scam written by Don Perata. It will siphon billions from the California economy. We already have one of the lowest smoking rates in the country. It is not needed.

Let’s put a tax on people who want to tax everything. They create stress for everyone else and decrease the length of our lives by creating ever more interventions in them. Or a gulag, where we can throw rocks at them.

Yes, California is a poster child for how term limits on legislators leads to good governance!

As for 29, excellent idea; ’cause nobody else is doing heart and lung research, and a California committee of political appointees (paid?) can do a great job of filling the void.

If anyone thinks 28 is a good idea, let’s make all prospective candidates take tough exams on public affairs. If they won ‘t be allowed to have on the job training, they better have the background to be effective in the short time allotted to them.

Dig 29! Make smokers pay more for their choice and then use the proceeds to discourage other people from making the same choice. Let’s make beer and spirits customers pay the same tax for the same purpose. And don’t stop there: Tax big expensive automobiles, Business and First-class air travelers, jewelry store patrons, consumers of high-calorie foods and snacks, tanning salons, bikini wax customers, fat people, gun owners, and anybody else who defies PC wisdom.
