California's dear leader is killing the golden state: Californians, gird your loins in anticipation of the tax onslaught
California is definitely back, Governor Jerry Brown boasted in 2014. Brown then proclaimed the state a job creation engine, proving he was still living in the 1960s. However, Brown has shown little stomach for sensible tax and regulatory cuts, and instead pays lip service to the media about how fiscally prudent he is
. everything he touches turns Brown.
For a state $130 Billion upside down in budget debt, and another $750 Billion of long term unfunded public employee pension debt, the estrangement between what the Democrats in charge say and do, and what Californians know and live daily, continues to grow.

And has done nothing to improve the state’s infrastructure.
No new reservoirs. No new power plants. Electrical grid crumbling...

He should tax the Hollywood crowd.
Get George Clooney and Matt Damon as his front men.
Make the leftist put their money where their mouth is.

California will never “collapse” as long as it remains solidly Democrat and our Fed.gov still has a printing press and Federal Reserve to manipulate interest rates and create money.
It will just be a slow, steady grind into Bolivian status

People here in CA think the Budget crisis has passed and we are in the Black thanks to Brown.

Collapse of the CA economy sure scares me. Think of all the rats escaping to other places yet uninfested. Please Californians, if your economy does collapse, please stay put and work things out....no one wants you or your deformed ideas of how the world should be.

The Democrats realize already that they are going to have to raise everyone's taxes steeply. A few even realize that raising taxes sufficient to meet liberals' calculations of what is necessary to finance the government will bring in less and decreasing revenue. They understand that but they have to do it anyway because the rational measures are unthinkable and raising taxes is intended to cure the problem and, of course, intention defines the good and effective.

To: Sean_Anthony
I think Trump is going to do something about sanctuary cities and illegals. If so, this will help somewhat.

People here in CA think the Budget crisis has passed and we are in the Black thanks to Brown. When you own and operate your own media, you can manufacture any reality you want. No wonder Trump's speech seemed so dark to them. :)

I’m over at my place in NV right now, the anti California when it comes to gun control and pretty much everything else. It’s like a different country here, friendly people, property tax so low you don’t think about it ($0.05/acre for mine), guns, mil spec fireworks, what more can a guy ask for.
