In Spears We Trust

The Sacramento Bee revealed an entertaining yet sobering poll done by Philip Tirone, a Los Angeles real-estate broker, who has been campaigning to repeal the 10 percent increase in personal income tax withholding included in the July California budget changes.

Californians would just as soon allow the meltdown-prone pop princess Britney Spears to run their family budget as they would leave their finances in the hands of their state legislators, according to a new poll.

Thirty-five percent of respondents said they would opt to have the Legislature manage their money, with 31 percent preferring to put Ms. Spears in charge. Thirty-four percent of those surveyed either didn’t know or refused to answer the question.
