Birds gotta fly,

fish gotta swim, and

Rats gotta tax!

For liberals and socialists around the world, the sh!t is hitting the fan...and it a beautiful thing to behold.

I SAY GOODBYE!!

the Kalifornia democrats in the legislature and the governor remind me of the vacuum guy on the movie The Yellow Submarine where he sucks up everything in sight and then himself, leaving nothing. The only thing left for the people of the state is to wait to hit the bottom because it's already gone off the cliff.

If you all think California is a basket case now, just wait til they get a 9.1 earthquake in Southern California.
ALL food and water is imported from distant places for those in South Cal.
Feather River in North for water, central valley and mid west for their food.
Good luck if the roads, Rail and water delivery systems are destroyed.

Here’s an idea for state legislators - tie the Governor’s pay to his performance. The Governor can’t balance the budget?....no pay check. You’d have to run like a racehorse to get out of the way of the Democrats leaving office.

I wonder when California will institute a departure tax (fee) for every person and business permanently leaving the state. Won't that cure their debt problem? No? But tax and spend is how we keep everything running, right. So what if taxes are rising, regulations on businesses are onerous, and both people and businesses are fleeing the state.

What's wrong with this picture?

This isn’t even about class warfare, the CA economy cannot sustain the spending levels demanded even having deployed all manner of taxes, property, sales, income, and tinkering with rates. A time comes when the law of diminishing returns takes effect.
