the dark mind of this Los Angeles Times communist columnist.

Cruz
Bob's
pulling for Bustamante and more taxes...
[Stefan Sharkansky]
8/27/03 (Editor's Note: Stefan Sharkansky
provides a valuable ongoing service deconstructing LA Times "columnist"
Robert Scheer.)
Robert Scheer,
the L.A. Times' own tax-dodging
Communist real-estate mogul, is using this week's column to campaign for Cruz Bustamante.
Bustamante
has the training, experience and track record required to work
with the Legislature
to produce a budget come January.
What kind
of training does Bustamante have that makes him uniquely capable
to run
the world's sixth largest economy?
A report in
today's Christian Science Monitor says Bustamante was
A C-average
student in high school ... He once studied to become
a butcher, and though he started college some 30 years
ago,
he didn't finish until this May.
Just what
California needs -- a butcher school dropout. How will he cut
spending if he
can't even figure out how
to cut
meat?
Scheer thinks
it is dishonest to say that California's taxes are too high:
Schwarzenegger
is betraying the public trust -- and sounding like a typical
I'll-do-anything-to-win politician
--
when he insists that Californians are
overtaxed and promises to
alleviate that condition without cutting any programs.
I managed
to lower my total tax (on the same pre-tax income) by several
thousand dollars simply by moving from California to Washington.
My quality of life
here is at least as good as it was in California and unlike San
Francisco
there are
public schools here that I can send my kids to. What did all that
money I used to mail to Sacramento buy me? I have absolutely no
idea.
But Scheer
pretends that the State of California is run as efficiently
as possible and asks sneeringly:
Where is
the fat in K-12 education or emergency-room care that Schwarzenegger
will terminate?
Some examples
may be found here.
Bustamante,
meanwhile, thinks he can restore California's greatness by
giving its productive class another
reason to flee:
He wants
to repeal the tripling of the car tax signed by Davis - but
only for cars valued under $20,000. Then,
he plans to make
up
the difference
by increasing
taxes on the rich.
