But that makes for a puzzlement. A few years ago in California, we put an initiative on the ballot that would have limited the percentage of gross earnings the state could take from the people in taxes. Every provision for flexibility in the event of emergency had been included and we could show with sound projections that growth of the economy would result in the state getting increased revenues, in spite of the limitation. In fact, under the limitation the state could still triple its budget in 15 years but the taxpayers would save 45 billion dollars during those 15 years.</ins></div></td></tr>

But still in California they voted no on the initiative known as proposition one. The state was taking about eight and three quarter cents of each dollar earned. With the help and support of some of the greatest economists in the country, including recent Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman, we had worked out a plan to gradually lower that percentage to seven cents at the end of 15 years. The state however would continue to get more actual money each year because the lowered percentage was far less than the increase in revenues due to economic growth. </ins></div></td></tr>

Everyone who has a vested interest in the public trough rose up against proposition one. The educational lobby led by the California Teachers Association shamelessly used public funds, educational funds if you will, in their attack day after day. Children were sent home with leaflets and brochures to give to their parents. Most of this literature in the entire campaign against proposition one was based on an outright falsehood.</ins></div></td></tr>

I've believed that if we'd settled for holding the percentage at the existing eight and three-quarter cents, they couldn't have used the lie. Now I discover I'm wrong.</ins></div></td></tr>

The press reported children bringing literature home from school and they all use the same falsehood, it would increase local taxes. The measure lost.</ins></div></td></tr>
