Taxifornia is a disaster, created by liberals. Period. Tax, spend and regulate has destroyed what was once the nation’s model state. Permissive liberalism, and its political tolerance of illegals, and their MASSIVE COST to Taxifornia tax payers, is just another cog in the wheel of destruction which has rolled down Taxifornia into a second-rate state.

History is the witness to how great Taxifornia once was. Thirty years ago, it was number one in economics, education, demographics, and quality of life. Now it is a liberal dung heap, destroyed by careless, tax-and-spend liberals who continue to drive out major business and individuals that formed the most viable tax base in the country.

Yes, the touch of liberlism does it every time. And the stupid electorate keeps supporting it.

Likewise, conservative religious activists took up the cause of "faith-based affordable (luxury) housing," under the absurd banner of Biblical justice. Presumably, "affordable" Cadillacs would be advocated next.

Good article, but I'm straching my head over that one.

The state is BROKE due to open borders which lead to one party rule.

Wait a minute. You mean that the poverty of single-parent families headed by women is not due to the partriarchical capitalistic corporations? You mean that we shouldn’t support them through increased taxation to make up for generations of oppression? You mean that a woman should have to face consequences for having made the choice to have children regardless of her resources and whether or not the father of the children has a job or has made a legal and moral committment to support her and them?

You obviously have yet to listen to enough speeches by our President.

Part of the problem is today's ABSURD definition of poverty which triggers an avalanche of aid from the government. If a family has (enough) food on the table, a (leak proof) roof over their heads, transport to & from work (auto/bus/tram/train) - why should I give them more of my money.

We live in a world where it seems that we CANNOT walk to work, but we MUST spend an hour a day at the expensive gym. We MUST have a color TV in every room - connected to a 200 channel cable system. We MUST have an auto for every person in the household......and we must wear designer clothes and $200 sneakers.

Enough already - where have the honest POOR gone? My middle class parents walked a mile to the shops and a mile to the rail station to catch the train to work. They did not have a TV. They thought that they were well off middle class and they were happy with their lives. They did try to improve their lot by working and saving and not by handouts from the government (they succeeded).

True middle class people tend to have children when they feel they can afford it. Prevent them from having that feeling by taking too much of their money for underclass projects and other government agendas via taxes, and the new generations of the middle class won’t be there.
