Then Pass an Initiative Sales Tax with proper exemptions on food, medicine, women's hygiene items, etc. instead of passing this regressive abomination which has no such concern for the poor or the elderly or the disabled or those on TANF and has absolutely no exemptions for anyone. 

But that would be an honest political effort not the sleazy back-door misdirection which we have come to expect from SEIU 503 and the Teachers Unions.

The mantra 'it's for the children' is bogus.  It's for the public service unions and no one else.
