“California had the most successful oil, timber and mineral industries in the world. They had some of the finest universities…Again this was a product of, both democratic governors and Republican governors.”
“However, today when we look at California, it’s got the highest number of homeless people in the United States. Half of all of America’s homeless live in California.”
“One-third of all the welfare recipients in the United States live in California. One-fifth of all Californians live below the poverty line.
The enviro-whackos and the general left whackos took over and we see the results today. A beautiful state destroyed.
California never had the finest educational system. Most expensive I can believe but tennis courts and swimming pools aren’t education.
The Left is Plato, the Right is Aristotle.
The result of a Plato’s Republic society is an elite group of intellectual snobs who have an army to keep the helots in line, so that society can supposedly take care of everyone.
The result of an Aristotle’s Politics society is a wide collection of middle class who produce enough on their own to take care of themselves and a bit extra for slippage and compassionate giving. No need for elites, which makes them very unhappy.
As Koholeth put it, there is nothing new under the sun.
Think of the savings if we could convince Calif to secede...........
California bills itself as a model for America. God help us.
When education is trumped by indoctrination everyone loses. Q:When is indoctrination education? A:when progressive leftists say it is.
“At the same time, America has allowed in 20 million illegal aliens, half of which have ended up in California”
Oh Please. It’s now north of 40 million. Five million in the last two years alone.
Go watch the internet videos of LA in the 20s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. Even Adam 12 in the 70’s. All English on the signs, all the usual American stores and companies. Not a word of Spanish. The missions were a quaint relic of the past.
The Invasion began in the mid-70s after the Mexicans decided to piggyback on the civil rights bandwagon of the black people even though they were never slaves but in fact were a) the enemy from the Mexican-American war and b) the very people who actually brought slavery to the Americas.
Now they control California by intimidation, violence and being a “protected class” where we are forced to hand over everything to them by 9 jerks in Washington DC.
The Asians play a big role in the destruction of the state too but of course since they are productive and mostly intelligent, not as much. But they aren’t the “model minority” that people think they are: rigid, statist, insular and avaricious, they just want the goodies the damn Round Eyes created.
VDH - Mr. Mumbles - is too much of a normie to admit the obvious: immigration destroyed California.
“How California Destroyed Its Middle Class”
Which is what the Demoncrats plan is. The old sayings is: As California goes so goes the nation.
VDH nails it!
I am a “grouchy, outspoken citizen!”
I am calling on EVERY “grouchy, outspoken citizen” to diligently work to re-elect Donald J. Trump and end the Obama/Biden nightmare!
He began teaching math to troubled students in a violent Los Angeles school and became famous for leading many of them to pass the advanced placement calculus test.
They deliberately wanted to do it. For them its a celebration of execution of a successful plan.
