Leftist Uber-rich people are such hypocrites. Just look at Hillary! trying to pretend she can relate to those struggling in this country.

" Should California rich be able to use as much water as they can afford?"

Of course. And they should be able to use all the illegal aliens they can afford too! At 1.65 an hour.

[dainbramaged]

They could look to Israel’s successful desalination projects as an example, but that would be too logical. Maybe the bullet train is more important than fresh water.

"It’s now more of a ‘This is the amount of water you get within this billing period. And if you go over that, there will be high penalties.’ ”

Unless the penalties are more than just monetary they will never have an effect on the uber-rich in California.

[blueunicorn6]

Yes, and they should be able to terminate at least a dozen people they don’t like.

It’s only fair.

[oldfart]

Sure, but since California also has a budget problem it might be equally proper to raise their water bill enough to offset that.

Just sayin’.

[GreenAccord]

Yes. As long as they pay their Hydrogen offsets.

[NorthMountain]

causing most of the lawns and gardens in California to shrivel and die.

Because it's a damn DESERT!

[DungeonMaster]

Should California rich be able to use as much water as they can afford?

Food
Gas
Healthcare

This is a classic conservative vs liberal question. It should be easy unless you consider that there are a whole different set of laws for the elite.

[SierraWasp]

No way! We have Politically Correct SHAMING ENFORCEMENT in CA!!!

Phhhhhhht!!!

[kidd]

Most of California’s fresh water is being dumped in the ocean. So this exercise is just another attack on the wealthy. Instead of using carbon, the left is now using water as the mode of attack. Unless rationing is instituted on what comes from civil sources, the wealthy are entitled to as much as they want to pay for.

It isn’t a matter of how much they pay or how much they use, it is a matter of availability. If the wealthy need this much water and rationing has been instituted, they can have water trucked in.

As long as it is cheaper to get the water out of a pipe than from a truck, the wealthy will get their water from a pipe.

[SgtHooper]

Absolutely!

[sagar]

Of course. If you can pay for it, nobody should force you to not have it. What next? The wealthy get too much vacation and fun?

[bert]

Ahhh....

For an equitable outcome, water should be rationed in the same proportion as taxes paid.

Those that pay lots of taxes get lots of water.

Those that pay no taxes get no water.

Those with an excess of taxes and thus water can sell the excess to those with none

Those with no water and no money can return to the land of plentiful water in Mexico
