I honestly am not sure people even vote in California.
Like what was once said of old Chicago in the Mayor Dailey days: “Everybody gets to cast a ballot, but the votes have already been counted.”
California taxes real estate sales. If you are leaving the state, the state requires the money not be paid to you until California extracts the state tax from the proceeds.
Ahhhhhh.....
California.....
Where the Spotted Owls return to Capistrano every year.
I would say no. For the simple reason Democrats in CA have no qualms about raising taxes.
Surf’s up!
California is the world’s largest banana republic. The liberals game everything so they get their way. Tuesday’s ballot initiative to repeal the latest bait and switch gas tax increase (only a small fraction of the money is spent on roads)was written by our corrupt left wing attorney general to read “this ballot proposition will eliminate $6 billion in road repairs”.
California is a blue state like in sad.
I was a like long resident and left the state back in 2007 for a job in Indiana. My wife would love to go back when I retire in a few years but there’s no way that’s going to happen. Things were bad enough when we left and they’ve done nothing but go downhill since then.
Thanks for posting this. It continues to give the gift for snarky posting by Freepers who hate CA for their own reasons.
Also it is fodder for thinking Americans to decide if they are going to give up on CA ever regaining political balance. The GOP and RNC put little $$ into CA, knowing that the Libs have a gang of power crazed people in Sacramento. This land of ‘fruits and nut’s’ created so much wealth in the past that the ‘takers’ came and got some. They now rule worse than a Chicago machine.
This is the land of John Wayne and Reagan and a hell of a lot of good people who are sad that Sacramento has gone Socialist. So to all the FR’s who love to dump on
CA go ahead if that helps you feel better about yourself. Me and my family are not giving up because this is our HOME.
There is only so much we faithful, native Californians can take.
