Taxifornia is a textbook example of what a once-Conservative state could be, to what that same state turns into once turned over to radical, careless, tax-and-spend crazy, over-regulating liberal leftists.

Now over-regulated, obscenely over-taxed, it is losing its revenue sources at an unmeasurable pace. When will America wake up to the destruction and careless power-mad liberal agenda???

I’m searching history to see if I can find a situation where a city and state commit suicide by insanity. I’m not sure one exists.

Lefties, fags, illegals, and various other vermin, frothing at the mouth as they consume the last of California’s available resources. What should be the best place in the world to live, has become a mess. And not a Republican politician anywhere willing to aggressively make the obvious connection to devastating and textbook ramifications of runaway liberal policy.

We have to pay Kern Environmental Health Services Department
an annual fee as a low level hazardous waste generator because
we have anti freeze, drain oil, diesel fuel, ect.
Last year our fee was $280.00. This year it’s $497.00 with a new
$50.00 state oversight fee.
$497.00 is no big deal by it’s self, then you add the additional 12-15
other fees with increases at the City, County and State level and you
can see how these bastards kill business one drop of blood at a time.

‘Californicate’ spent money like the Federal Government and now they will want a bail-out from the very ‘flyover country’ taxpayers they have never missed an opportunity to represent as a bunch of knuckle-scrapping Neanderthals and brainless bumpkins. I hate to tell you what I'd like to say to them!
