SF Baseball Gambling Racket Horror at Taxpayer Expense

by SF Voter
Once again, the SF Democratic Party machine allowed the fixed gambling racket commonly known as baseball to "win," causing much grief to the residents of San Francisco on the night of this "win," with more to come with a completely unnecessary parade of the gladiators where a million screaming idiot fans are allowed to yell at the gladiators and worthless politicians who ride down Market Street on a work day, Friday, Oct 31, while throwing tons of paper on the ground, making it impossible to work in the Market Street offices until 2 p.m.. MOST BUS SERVICE WAS SUSPENDED ON OCTOBER 29, 2014 AFTER 8:30 PM, and that was not all. DRUNKEN HOODLUMS DICTATED OUR LIVES.
Once again, the SF Democratic Party machine allowed the fixed gambling racket commonly known as baseball to "win," causing much grief to the residents of San Francisco on the night of this "win," with more to come with a completely unnecessary parade of the gladiators where a million screaming idiot fans are allowed to yell at the gladiators and worthless politicians who ride down Market Street on a work day, Friday, Oct 31, while throwing tons of paper on the ground, making it impossible to work in the Market Street offices until 2 p.m.. MOST BUS SERVICE WAS SUSPENDED ON OCTOBER 29, 2014 AFTER 8:30 PM, and that was not all. DRUNKEN HOODLUMS DICTATED OUR LIVES.

We knew this horror had happened again without watching TV or looking at the clock as we could hear the drunks from all the bars screaming and honking their horns shortly before 8:30 p.m. on October 29, 2014. Shortly thereafter, we could hear sirens on the streets and helicopters overhead.

Fires were set near the baseball stadium swindle and in the Mission District. This has nothing to do with poverty as this writer grew up in poverty and is still a tenant depending on rent control for a roof over my head. This is pure drunken hoodlum garbage.

Since this same routine happened after the contrived "victory," we know exactly what the same routine is going to be for the completely unnecessary parade. People who have contempt for education will take their children out of school to see this spectacle of garbage dumping on our streets, streets blocked off to traffic, buses re-routed for hours, and the city paralyzed for NO GOOD REASON WHATSOEVER.

WE TAXPAYERS PAY FOR THE POLICE, FIREFIGHTERS, CLEAN-UP CREW AND LOSS OF OUR BUSSES EITHER IN NO SERVICE OR BEING DAMAGED. Windows were broken on at least 1 bus. There is no peace demonstration that does anything like this yet we are condemned for exercising our First Amendment rights while these drunken hoodlums are allowed to run amuck and ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND A WORTHLESS PARADE.

We are voting this Get Out the Vote Weekend (GOTV), and here are some recommendations.

NO ON ALL BONDS, SALES TAXES, PARKING METERS, TOWING FINES, ANTI-FOURTH AMENDMENT RED LIGHT RUNNING CAMERAS; DIVERSION SCHEMES AND GAMBLING.
CALIFORNIA: No on 1, 2, 48; Yes on all the rest.
SAN FRANCISCO: No on A, E and I; Yes on all the rest.

Propositions-SAN FRANCISCO
No on A-a bond. Tenants can be forced to pay for bonds.
Yes on B for public transportation.
Yes on C for education and youth programs
Yes on D for labor.
No on E-San Francisco-effectively a sales tax, regressive and anti-workingclass by definition, and a SLUSH FUND supported by most of the Board of Stupidvisors of San Francisco, all Democrats, demonstrating TOTAL CONTEMPT for the people of San Francisco. This city and its Democratic Party machine views the people of San Francisco and visitors as suckers to be milked dry.

There is no adequate public transportation outside San Francisco, so almost 80% of San Franciscans have cars. If you want to change that fact, you have to transfer the entire military budget to all social services, including public transportation. Parking meters are by definition a REGRESSIVE TAX, and should never be used for funding a city, as they are now. Parking and towing tickets are also outrageous and REGRESSIVE TAXES. Paying $74 in downtown SF and $64 elsewhere AND UP for a parking ticket, making San Francisco the worst in the nation when it comes to parking tickets is outrageous. Paying the high cab fare and $557 for the towing fine to retrieve your car is GRAND LARCENY, and sends EVERYONE WHO CAN AWAY FROM SAN FRANCISCO. Another person on the website below paid $533 for the tow truck, which sit around like predators in the Financial District, plus $110 for a parking ticket IS DESPICABLE. THEY EVEN TOW SCOOTERS for $430. AVOIDING SAN FRANCISCO IS WHAT MOST PEOPLE IN THE BAY AREA DO. The rest of the Bay Area has excellent restaurants, stores; and entertainment. If you do not work, go to school or live in San Francisco, there is very little reason to be in San Francisco. See:

The Anti-Fourth Amendment Red Light Running Cameras can result in an outrageous $490 fine statewide, and most people who run the red light do so accidentally, if at all, since the equipment can be wrong. Basing an economy on tickets and meters is REACTIONARY since this is a REGRESSIVE TAX. Taxing the rich, those who make over $200,000 a year, with the progressive income tax, is how this city, state and country should function.

CALIFORNIA
No on Prop 1-a bond
http://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_1,_Water_Bond_(2014)#Opponents
No on Prop 2-theft of funds for schools
http://www.2badforkids.org/
From the No on 2 website:
This is a perfect example of why children always come last in Sacramento (lest we forget, we are 50th by a LARGE margin in student-teacher, student-counselor AND student-librarian ratios, not to mention at or near the bottom in the nation in per pupil funding - yes even AFTER Proposition 30). Children have no lobby, and no money. And they cannot vote. They need us to be our voice. Do you want to give children a voice? Vote NO on Prop 2, for starters.
Proposition 2 breeches the minimum guarantee Californians made to our schoolchildren – a guarantee that the Governor and the Legislature assured schools would protect them. Remember, the state diverts BILLIONS of local school property taxes that are allocated to public education each year -- $8.4 billion this year alone -- to pay its debts.
Now the State is saying it won’t necessarily replace those funds. That’s unfair. As if that were not already devastating to schools, the Legislature decided to require local school districts to spend all but three weeks of their savings the minute the state saves a nickel. It did this without public comment or LAO analysis. We see this as unfair to schools and schoolchildren and extraordinarily fiscally irresponsible.
Yes on 45 for healthcare

Yes on 46 for healthcare

Yes on 47

No on 48-another gambling initiative. Gambling is ALWAYS taking from the needy and giving to the greedy.
