However, given his overall lack of competence, Newsom shouldn\u2019t have expected anything less from the fed-up citizens of California.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Prop 13 gets tossed out.

From affluent Marin County to socioeconomically diverse Los Angeles, voters are beginning to turn down new tax measures on the ballot. According to the California Taxpayers Association, at least half of the 230+ local tax measures are spiraling towards defeat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going into the November Election, sponsors of tax initiatives should be rightfully worried. Even in the most liberal state in the country, there are limits to how much citizens are willing to give up to their governments. Those trying to run this state like a socialist regime should beware of the backlash, as Californians may finally be willing to fight for a government that protects their money while putting what funds they do have to good use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/29233640@N07\/14859431605\/in\/photolist-oD5tjD-7s63Wt-HnES3S-99D4Yb-2aLKZsy-5JXFLo-7W4Qw8-8YENrX-2io7UVr-qurGx4-hqfymN-fiLYpT-cnz2vq-2iAFh7A-QLpHeQ-zkdJ2e-3P2MvQ-QvsD5j-qd67mo-7bf7tm-Rewikt-2hAUT6j-8Vhfd-2D4m8L-pw9nuq-uVwErL-7au4Fz-6oXtjj-4H36D8-8iu434-bwGbQX-75cynh-4DS7wa-tgDVF-BJsSz8-xwGQF-t8Cnq-u8zLq-7CuWcv-8Rd149-jinjz-66YRsn-oJ6oR-q95wWf-8895mD-7JWZFn-P2uq1d-2CBsL8-s7hE64-cArE4b\">Photo by Robert Couse-Baker via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic candidates aren\u2019t the only ones who took some big losses in the primary election last week.
