But I have a feeling that few Californians would say tax me more.

Heck in that poll only 40% of everyone polled said they were willing to pay higher taxes. 53% of those who said they were registered as Democrats said they were willing to pay more taxes.
Unless Californians are stupid (?) they say tax me more everytime they vote a bond issue in or some new gimme program. who do they think pays for it

Maybe they should poll people that actually pay taxes. "More" of nothing is still nothing......

What if everyone had to pay. Example- Take the rail system bill that passed a last year. I can't remember the exact cost but in the billions. If you are a resident of Ca and a bond passes you have to pay a certain percentage in taxes for that bond. I'll use 1% for easy figuring. If you make 10,000 a year (even if it's a welfare check) you are going to pay 100 towards the bond and if you make 100,000 you're going to pay 1000. That way maybe everyone would think a little harder about how they vote.

When the state becomes a majority of Hispanics, who is going to pay for all this welfare? Entitlements are a growth industry. I think the politicians see this but so long as nothing bad happens during their term they don't care.
