Proposition 30: Governor Jerry Brown's Tax Increases for Education and Public Safety

     I think that Proposition 30 is the most important of all the propositions beacuse it increases the money that goes through school and public safety fundings. Additional tax from each individuals will go go K-12 schools and community colleges. It is important that schools get the proper funding that they need in order to keep students in school and keep subjects and courses they need.
     The advantage of this proposition is that more money will go to public schools and community colleges that really need the funding to provide for their curriculums. The disadvantage is that the income tax rates for individuals who make more than $250,000 and couples who make more than $500,000 will increase. This will also hurt small businesses and does not guarantee new money for education funding.
      I am now 18 years old, and I would vote yes for Proposition 30 because I feel that education is important to our lives. Education is the bridge to success and it provides knowledge not only for the children but all for adults. Proposition 30 is important to students and teachers all over America.
