During the 1950s, corporations carried roughly 1/3 of the national tax burden. It's much smaller now.....

I am of the opinion that Arnie will be a tool if elected, he simply just doesn't know enough of the right people, nor the system, to be anything else. He will do what he is told, so long as it is explained to him in a fashion that he won't understand it goes against his scruples - But I don't he's an accomplice to any of this. California will, long term, be left worse off for his dabbling, I'm sure, but that doesn't change the fact that he does mean well.

I think every politician probably means wel, because their own personal success depends upon the good fortune and policy they carry out in the state, right? Maybe he does mean well, but that doesn't make him a good candidate.

My initial post had more to do with the man's character than his campaign. We all know this is a farce, he has no background in government theory, law or political proceedure and precident. He has some lofty ambitions accompanied by not-so-modest means, he has always been community active, and sought to help. . .I have a soft spot for him, what can I say?

I think his activism within educational improvement is quite admirable, but certainly that alone can't be criteria for elected office. Al good intentions aside, I think his free market fundamentalism is naive, and assuming that will pull Cali. out of her slump is equally naive.
