Gov. Brown believes he’s hit a political sweet spot, coupling the popularity of public schools with taxes on the unpopular rich that only a handful of voters would pay.

The real net beneficiaries of his taxes would be non-education programs, from prisons to welfare and health care for the poor, which are endangered by the state’s chronic budget deficit.
