Los Angeles has a two fold problem. It has the highest population of illegal immigrants and has given them every advantage of citizenship without their paying any taxes, property or income.Until this is addressed their is simply no hope for the once great state of California. The takers outnumber the producers and the state is against the producers every step of the way.
I agree with you 100%. I would like to point out also that if you were to take a poll of people residing in California, you would find that most of them were not native to California. I kid you not, you can talk to 100 people and only one of them was born here.
I have to say, what happened to us can happen to you. (The generic you, not you in particular Semperfiwife).
I see that as just a symptom. For that to happen in the first place, fools had to offer it to them. And the public voted for those fools, repeatedly.
But the fools were not limited to just that. Their foolishness has extended to every corner of the State, and found its expression in spending money like there is no tomorrow.
So the bottom line is not only has the support for illegal aliens have to end, but the support for the vast amount of foolishness as well. And it will not be up to the fools to fix the problems, but up to forces far beyond their control.
