If you live in California, you are well aware of this political reality by now \u2014 Democrats are overwhelmingly represented in the Golden State\u2019s Assembly and Senate, and it\u2019s been over a decade since California\u2019s last Republican Governor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Democrats get what they want year after year it is no wonder why California is considered the King of taxes. However,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kusi.com\/carl-demaio-pushes-to-stop-san-diego-politicians-reversing-vote-to-not-raise-taxes\/\"> in a recent interview with KUSI, Reform California Chairman Carl DeMaio<\/a> details how Todd Gloria and San Diego Democrats have taken their thirst for tax hikes to unprecedented levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two years after ballot Measure C didn\u2019t reach the two-thirds voting requirement to raise taxes, San Diego Democrats are looking to override public sentiment through legal loopholes and a sympathetic judge. DeMaio described this behavior by local politicians as \u201celection fraud.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis has been a real problem we\u2019re having in California, for the past several years Democrat politicians have gotten liberal judges on the California Supreme Court, on California appellate courts, even at the district court level to agree to overlook the provisions of the constitution\u2026\u201d said DeMaio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Reform California Chairman suggested that Democrats are taking the position that citizen initiatives written decades ago aren&#8217;t concrete enough for current elected officials to abide by. Of course, opponents of this legal interpretation like DeMaio disagree, but this dismissal of decades-old legal language by Democrats seems to be their primary justification for following through with their tax hike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c\u2026the Democrat city politicians, Todd Gloria and the Democrat City Council, they basically are saying \u2018we just decided to declare victory, we\u2019re just going to impose the tax\u2019 \u2026 this is overturning the results of an election,\u201d said DeMaio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to help fight against the imposition of Measure C, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/reformcalifornia.org\/\">reformcalifornia.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: City of San Diego\/ ABC 10<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by William Hale Democrats want nothing more than to take increasingly greater percentages of your hard-earned money.
