There was a boom after WWI. It was the Roaring Twenties. Harlem Renaissance? Jazz? Birth of the auto industry?

Heck, I don't mind paying my taxes, I just wish I got something out of it. 300 more teachers have been laid off in the Bay Area, schools and libraries are closing down, and taxes are still high. Child care is prohibitively expensive and if were not paying taxes for schools and child care, where is it all going?

Going to pay off the debt as a result of over-spending that the state legislature and Govenor Davis created...

You know what really ironic about all that? I was recruited through a commission he created to bring teachers to California called CalTeach. They went all over the country giving lectures on all the benefits teachers would receive by coming to California. They said they would pay the downpayment on your mortgage! So I moved out here, and not three weeks after I arrived, the power companies gouged the state for emergency power, 9/11 happened and all the sudden California is laying of thousands of teachers every year! Fortunately my degree has some flexibility to it, and I was able to get into law. But even though I voted for him again, (after all, it's not his fault Texas power companies overcharged the state) I still had an axe to grind with him about that.
The really funny thing is though, Schwartzenegger is almost more liberal than him! Davis spent tons on building prisons in California and gave huge tax breaks to the upper class, but Schwartzenegger begins a hydrogen highway initiative! Only in California.

And a young Army officer by the name of MacArthur destroying a shanty town in Washington DC that was filled with unemployed veterans who were demanding the benefits a overextended federal gevernment denied them.
