One final attempt...well, maybe...
The top ten reasons why California should listen to MediaCopp in order to balance the budget...
#10 MediaCopp understands the budget is "PROJECTED" revenue, NOT "ACTUAL" revenue...
#9 MediaCopp is NOT against tax increases (my marijuana tax is a HUGE increase)...my other suggested taxes (and ID card, thus excusing "residents" from SOME fees) are innocuous...
#8 MediaCopp is NOT against balancing the budget on the backs of the rich, poor, AND middle class...as long as it's fair...
#7 MediaCopp is also well aware that "ACTUAL" revenue is finite, however, "PROJECTED" revenue is not...if the pie only has so many slices, let's bake a bigger pie...
#6 MediaCopp realizes it isn't all about MediaCopp...
#5 MediaCopp understands that the "slippery slope" referred to by both sides (Dems AND GOP) are cyclical and should be ignored at budget time...
#4 MediaCopp maintains, therefore, that sin taxes, for instance on gambling, drugs and prostitution (in addition to beer, wine and tobacco) are necessary...
#3 MediaCopp knows his suggestions will be ignored by the power structure in Sactown (courtesy of the trial lawyers)...but they SHOULD be heeded...
#2 MediaCopp believes cuts MUST start at the top...what's this I hear about a (total) 14.2% pay cut for state workers...how about 5% for line workers, up to 50% for legislators, etc...hmm? And no, that's not contrary to #8...
And the number #1 reason California should listen and heed MediaCopp...
MediaCopp appears to be the ONLY one who has suggested California be "divided" into TWO parts...except the two parts to which we refer are not north and south, but RESPONSIBLE and IRRESPONSIBLE (if you are responsible and play by the rules, you get in one "line"...if you refuse, you get in a different "line")...IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
