Must see video of Robert Reich explaining the damage Prop 13 has done to our state.

Website won't let me embed the video, but for years I have been trying to explain this and it took Reich's economic genius to put it in understandable terms. There are parts of Prop. 13 that need to be repealed. This is why. Please watch.

Now grandma and the rest of us individuals pay over 72% of the property taxes. It was a total scam. Prop. 13 should be severely amended if not outright repealed. Seniors and others with low incomes should get the break that Prop. 13 provides, but no one else.
