They raised the sales tax by a penny for however long and now they claim to have 2 billion extra dollars to give to government employees.

#1 Why not rebate the state for the extra tax collected?

A lot of younger people must look at California, and anticipating the decline in the decades to come, decide to put the energy into their careers and homes, in a place that looks like it will growing with them, in a place that is expected to be better in 30 years, not far worse.

People don’t like to commit to, and invest themselves in losers.

Representatives are based on the number of citizens. With California’s population tepidly becoming devoid of citizens, shouldn’t they lose a few representatives? Seems like they wouldn’t wield so much power with fewer reps or few electoral votes.

Thank the democrat politicians in Sacramento for running the state into the ground by their taking from the pockets of the working American citizens and running successful business out of the state by over regulations and taxes. They then give it to the illegals both in and out of prison as well as funnel millions to the unions, all so they can get reelected to stay in power as to perpetuate their scam. Anchor babies away!!! Sounds like DC.

The bulk of California is actually conservative that have fallen for fad type politics. The leeches that are allowed to vote will be in for a big awakening soon. BOzocare will begin the reversal of the trend.

Amazingly accurate use of words:

"The state is fast becoming a colony and milk cow for Mexico, with a few enclaves occupied by Asians the way the British used to dominate Hong Kong and Singapore."

I am finally ready to leave. I was born here and would have likes to stay here in Paradise forever. But I can’t afford paradise any more, and there are more and more home invasions in paradise.

Any freepers in denver?

The California legislature has voted unanimously (ONE dissenting vote) to ban the Confederate flag!

Actually, they banned only the State government from selling Confederate flags. (Apparently, the gift shop at some State park was selling Confederate flags and someone complained.)

I would, but...

Seems it never rains in Southern California.
Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk before.
It never rains in California,
But girl, don’t they warn you.
It pours.....man it pours.

Out of work
I’m outta my head
Outta self respect
I’m outta bread.
I’m under loved
I’m over taxed
I wanna go home!

Screw 'em. I'm not leaving.

California, still home to Free Republic...

A lot of people want to leave, but where are they going to make a stand? Everywhere you can go has been infested with either aliens or democrats. Nevada is pretty conservative overall but that's where Harry Reid hatched.

If you have to move come to the foothills.

The bill originally banned all sales of Confederate flag memorabilia on state property. In explaining that provision, Hall noted a sign sold at the state fairgrounds depicting a Confederate flag with the phrase “It’s still my American flag.”
He amended the bill to exclude non-government employees and businesses from the ban to avoid violating constitutional free speech protections.
Courts have upheld the rights of individuals to display the Confederate flag while also upholding the rights of government agencies to limit what they endorse.

Though its degradation and decline are largely self-inflicted...

Largely? Only about 100% or so.

Wouldn’t waste a single tear for them. Self-inflicted.
