Ah! Excellent graphic choice! :)
About time and may it inspire more throughout the country. Along with tea parties, a campaign to vote every incumbent out needs to get going full steam.
Awesome!
Kick out all the Illegals, California.
California right noe is a failed state.....unless you are a State “worker” who has better retirement than the US military. Unions Suck....all the $$$ s from the Citizens.
How much latent anger is there out there and what evidence of the do we have?
An angry mob of thousands converged on an Orange County parking lot in southern California on a recent Saturday morning for an anti-tax protest, stunning even the organizers with the size of the turnout. It was just one in a series of public demonstrations that have cropped up around the state.
Anecdotal evidence is virtually no evidence at all. Thousands in a parking lot in the middle of a state of more than 20 million people will not do it.
It is idle to talk about a grass roots rebellion comparable to 1978 in the California of 2009 based on this kind of evidence. The demographics have been so shaped by the Mexican invasion that the California of 30 years ago is scarcely recognizable today. I have long insisted on these threads that all politics in America is not local, but racial.
It is not in the character of conservative taxpayers to engage in revolt; they take more direct action on their own behalf, they move out of the state. And that is a fundamental difference between conservatives and liberals: liberals look to the state to solve problems, conservatives solve their own problems. In real life conservatives have all the advantages but in the political world sheer liberal tenacity tends ultimately to prevail.
If liberals cannot have their way at the ballot box, they will have their way in the courtroom. If those two routes do not avail, they will change the electorate. That is real persistence.
Why not just ban taxes altogether?
nothing a few hundred thousand more illegals can't cure...They also need to limit the time their legislature meets as well. Right now, CA is a full time (year round), professional legislature. They should return to being part time like before 1966 and even go as far as allow them to meet every other year for 60 days. Also all CA laws should be sunset within 5 years to force reenactment and review. In the time span, the supposed important laws will be reenacted. It should be done in parts. Take example, the California Vehicle Code. Each law should be reenacted. One bill for lights, another one concerning driver licenses, another bill for interstate compacts, so on.
Remembering Prop 13, both parties screamed bloody murder, that it would wipe out functional government, and wipe out police and fire departments, but it instead strengthened and stabilized local government.
Take no prisoners!
I don’t know; I live in California in a “moderate” district (Tauscher is my Rep, or was; I guess she just resigned her seat to join Obama’s fab cabinet), and let me just say:
The upper-middle class “moderate” Democrats all around me simply don’t mind paying more taxes.
Trust me. I’ve talked to them. They agree with higher taxes and feel that they, and others, simply don’t pay enough. They say they are “communitarians.”
They also don’t mind laws banning cell phones in cars or banning fires in fireplaces.
It’s quite bad out here.
By the time the tax revolt is over, we’ll be bowing to Allah.
The more Obama does, the more I think this Tea Party revolt is a distraction.
If they do it can we do it too? :P
