How many of those Cuban rafters are rich?? The idea that socialism is better for the poor is STUPID
I would love to see that on a billboard at the state border
does anyone believe any study conducted by these lefties ???
1.09 depart for every 1 household that arrives — the idiot author dismisses this as minor — that’s about 10% attrition rate of the rich ... who are paying the frickin bills in Kalifornia, and he thinks it’s minor!
Awnold seems to think it's the illegal Mexicans....
It would also help to put a similar billboard at the southern border: "PLEASE CHECK YOUR THIRD-WORLD CRAP CULTURE VALUES AT THE BORDER. You f**ked up one country, don't do the same to the one you just illegally broke in to ."
High unemployment - check
Astronomical cost of living - double check
Invaded by illegal aliens - triple check

It is obvious the machine is pandering to Illegal aliens as under the above listed conditions common sense says they should not be able to survive here...
Ha. Most of us got out because of liberal policies.

it’s not the illegal mexicans in CA it’s Bravo TV’s
Real Housewives of Orange County, silly
We're all socialists poor now!

“Class Struggle Knows No Borders!”
Trades Unions work well as centres of resistance against the encroachments of capital. They fail partially from an injudicious use of their power. They fail generally from limiting themselves to a guerilla war against the effects of the existing system, instead of simultaneously trying to change it, instead of using their organised forces as a lever for the final emancipation of the working class that is to say the ultimate abolition of the wages system.
For Communism!
The fact that these and other struggles have taken place is without doubt encouraging. Nevertheless, by themselves they will at best remain isolated episodes of resistance, if they do not succeed in pushing back bourgeois ideologies and opening up a perspective which goes further. The task of revolutionaries consists of keeping the overall interest of the working class in mind, supporting its struggles, criticising limitations and seeking to strengthen the wage-workers’ consciousness of, and trust in, their own power.
For a stateless, classless society!!

The Working Class are Paying for the Capitalist Crisis
Capitalism is a State-sponsored Ponzi Scheme
Of course the poor would be the first to leave...It’s freaking expensive to live here.
Why in hell would the rich give up near perfect year round weather to move to some sweaty humid mosquito bitten region or some windswept frigged place?
lol...

Labor in the United States is also speaking out against the FTAA. The Longshore and Warehouse Union, well known for its progressive history and militant stands, has denounced the FTAA and is supporting the protests.
The AFL-CIO Executive Council passed a resolution at a recent meeting in Los Angeles that in part called “on our members to make their voices heard in Quebec City as part of the international actions, and join in partnership with Jobs With Justice and other allies in communities across the country.” Teamsters, steelworkers and other labor unionists have also passed resolutions and are planning to join the protests.
Truly, a new phase of the global class struggle is unfolding.
workers world party - a socialist party

The Workers World Party (WWP) is a Marxist-Leninist sect that was founded in 1959 by Sam Marcy. Marcy and his followers were members of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) until 1958, when they split from SWP because, unlike that organization, they supported the presidential bid of the Progressive Party’s Henry A. Wallace in 1948, the 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary, and the regime of Mao Zedong in China. WWP describes itself as a party that has, since its founding, “supported the struggles of all oppressed peoples [and] has recognized the right of nations to self-determination, including the nationally oppressed peoples inside the United States.” Viewing America as a nation infested with “racism” and “bigotry,” WWP further “supports affirmative action as absolutely necessary in the fight for equality.”
“We’re independent Marxists who respect the struggles for self-determination and progress of oppressed nations,” says WWP. “We try to understand their problems in a world dominated by Western imperialism. … Our goal is solidarity of all the workers and oppressed against this criminal imperialist system. … [W]e know that nothing is secure — not our jobs, our homes, our health care, our pensions, our civil rights and liberties — as long as capitalism exists. So our goal is a society run by the workers, not just as pawns in a capitalist political game but as collective owners of the social wealth.” To disseminate its message to the public, WWP publishes the online newsletter Workers World.
It is the driving force behind Ramsey Clark’s International Action Center and International ANSWER; WWP activists run both organizations. Several key ANSWER officials — including Brian Becker, Larry Holmes, Teresa Gutierrez, Sarah Sloan, and Sara Flounders — are WWP members.
Yes you are correct and how silly of me to think otherwise...;o)
Ironically, that's how California got to be the way it is -- refugees from the East and Midwest coming in and bringing their liberal crap with them. Take it from a fifth generation native. Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer are prime examples -- it drives me nuts that the world thinks of those two bozos as Californians; they were born, raised, and educated in the east, didn't move here until they were well into adulthood, and AT THAT moved to San Francisco, the only city that Easterners have considered half-way civilized since before the Gold Rush (L.A. remains to this day much too uncouth and uncultured for their notice).
California used to be a pretty conservative, Republican state, mostly rural agricultural (it still is mostly rural agricultural, in fact). I talk to a lot of people in my work, and easily 90 percent of them moved here from some other state or country. Almost all of the vegetarians, vegans, and uber-liberal "Californians" of my personal acquaintance were not born here; of the few who were, their parents were not. Some exceptions, of course, but not many.
My mother, on the other hand, was raised by native Californians .. who were raised by native Californians ... who were raised by native Californians ... all conservative Republicans, going way way back.
The very utmost of independent-minded, risk-taking people pioneered this state and made it cool. ONLY THEN did the Liberals come in and ruin it, beginning (in my memory) in the late 60s.
Hey, remember -- Free Republic was born here. It isn't a California native for nothing, you know!
Wait until a house that once use to sell for half a mil sells for 50 K and once nice neighborhoods are all barrios....then anyone will be able to afford to live here (except for select fenced enclaves occupied by the elite)...but by then who'd want to? Of course the tax rate will be around 90 percent for those acrually on the tax roles...well you can't have everything...
Ping to my post 37. Please.
So true...I've been here since '56 and I remember the California you speak of. It has now been reduced to an illegal Mexican working class and a ruling elite composed of transplanted hypocritical liberal snobs....(Press 1 for English and 2 for Spanish)
