Prop 13 repeal plus income tax cuts, people dismiss it as "unrealistic"
The actual economist consensus: property taxes are among the best forms of taxation, corporate income taxes are garbage. So raise property taxes, lower everything else.
But bring this up and you get "that's not realistic" from people who genuinely think Hilton wins the 2026 governor's race. The delusion about what's possible is selective.
Agreed! And worth noting: Economists generally agree that, when it comes to taxes... - Corporate income taxes are among the worst - Property taxes are among the best We should increase property taxes and lower other, less efficient, less socially productive forms of taxation.
