i think this is very important-- was california business and california agriculture.recall, if one was creating a pie chart, you'd say in this chart that about 1/3 of the benefits from 13 went to homeowners. 2/3 went to business and agriculture. one group that did lose, in my opinion, was the renter. jarvis had literally promised renters that savings would be passed on from apartment owners to the renter. and really, that never occurred. but for the average taxpayer, proposition 13 seemed remarkable-- getting a break on taxes with little sacrifice on services. jarvis was back in 1980 with a new initiative-- proposition 9, which would cut state income taxes by 50%. the opposition, led by the california public employees union, focused its tv campaign on fairness. is it fair that if 9 passes, you get a huge tax break and the average person gets nothing? i didn't write proposition 9. why not reduce the sales tax so everyone benefits equally? as i said, i didn't write proposition 9. you could have fooled me. the campaign against proposition 9 was successful. the tax revolt
