The same way top 5, top 9, or top 11 would be. You're looking at a subset. Why not pick, bottom 10? Oh, because that would hurt. As in "squeal like a pig" hurt.
Nope, prop 13 does a bit more than that. When the state is in boom mode and could run a significant budget surplus, the surplus can't be retained in reserve funds, or used to retire other indebtedness except through convoluted accounting games. Prop 13 creates a use it or lose it situation that hamstrings sound management.
When you actually live here and aren't wet behind the ears lapping up propaganda, then come talk to me. Believe it or not, despite what you read out there in redstateville, we don't have state funded taco carts giving free meals to the hordes of wetbacks lining up for free no-questions-asked 50k a year lifetime welfare benefits.
Why is it when I read your posts, I hear Rod Serling's voice in my head?
