They get what they voted for.
—— I will pay California $2,115 more-——
The extra payment is a de facto privilege fee. The whining article author is paying a mandatory tax for the privilege of living in California
Whild dragging out a list of negatives, the positives were not mentioned. When set side by side, the positives were greater than the negatives and the $2,115 fee is thus justified /S
Y’all are pissing in the wind.
Most all decent, smart, and moral
Californians have left the state.
All that is left is the Dregs.
Dregs being Democrats and
their slaves(tax payers).
So the question I have for the author, is why are you there?
He freely moved into this shithole of a state and then denigrates every one that is living there.
Screw the author and he should STFU.
 I knew that we were getting ripped off, who was doing it, and why when I wrote that article in 2003, but I did not know the degree quantitatively. In 2010 when our family took the obligatory transnational vacation by car it was easy to see what gasoline cost and how far it would take us. What surprised me was that octane ratings were no indication of mileage. There is so much ethanol in California gas that, by the time one calculates the total cost per mile, we were paying DOUBLE what they were in Texas.
Sub-Mexico Couldn’t care less. As long as they keep getting the free stuff, it all good.
Please: what tell is the reason(s) you moved INTO the abyss of stupidity and treachery?
Somebody has to pay for all that free stuff.
Umm try this out for an explanation.
Let’s pretend you live in gaza. 70% of your neighbors repeatedly vote hamas into power and cheer how they (hamas) are gonna get rid of the Jews. When they go for it, those same neighbors cheer them on — kinda like they did when the TwinTowers were destroyed.
You cannot afford to move. And, if you talk about making a change getting a nasty look is nothing compared to the reality of what will happen to you and your family.
CaCaLand is like that. Has been for decades. It has been a communist state for this time. This is what the rest of you will experience when Newscum is installed into the WHouse.
Full stop.
Yes! They love it!
That's why they keep voting for Democrat con-artists!
That's why they vote for Democrat con-artists (redundant phrase) when they move out of California!
Californians must pay for Rent a Mobs to keep all the protests going about something it ain’t cheap.
Two main events in California protests and marathons.
Yeah, yeah. yeah - we’ve heard this all before. The people in California like this stuff, because they keep voting for it.
I’m beginning to think that they don’t know any better so they just kick back and let it happen to them.
 There needs to be much more of this. If CEOs are held criminally liable for the integrity of their companies’ books, then governors and other officials should be as well.
The best thing for California (and the rest of America) is for a gigantic earthquake to devour it into the ocean. I am hoping the big one comes soon and takes all of Mexico with it. /spit
As a fellow Coloradoan, I am sure you notice the blue devils are doing everything they can to make Colorado as expensive in terms of property taxes and utilities as California.
Doesn’t the nation as a whole pick up the tab for his California income taxes?
the answer is The Argentinian Syndrome: “Argentina would be a paradise if it wasn’t for all the Argentinians.” ...
