Pre-schoooooool!

Let's extend the highly successful public education system to pre-school! Genius!

Money: Funding would come from a new 1.7 percent tax on the wealthiest Californians -- couples with annual incomes of more than $800,000 or individuals who make more than $400,000.

That's at least $6800 each, I think. Whatever. Rich people only pay more in taxes, they don't vote more, so we can always feel comfortable putting it on them to fund everything. The measures will pass in any case.

But wait! Democratic Super-senator Don Perata doesn't like it. Why?

Meanwhile, state Senate Pro Tem President Don Perata, a Democrat, withdrew his support for the measure Tuesday because, he said, it would direct too many resources to families who already can afford preschool.

Oh no! It might help people who are well-off! Stop it at once! God forbid the people who we are taxing at least $6800 actually get some benefit from that!

So Reiner is "well-funded and well-connected". Looks pretty well-fed too. Wonder if he'll go on a diet if he decides to make a run for governor. Richard Nixon advised that when contemplating the political future of Ted Kennedy, never pay attention to what Teddy says--just watch his waistline. If he's losing weight, he's gonna run. Might apply here, too.
