the feds refused to stop the influx of illegals, we had federal mandates requireing money be spent on illegals. the voters in californazia voted a law in to end all public assistance to illegals, schools, welfare, health care (cept for emergency life saving stuff) etc...
the liberal nazi judges threw that law out.
yes good old Presidente Jorge el Busho allowed the illegals to invade for 8 long years. Good old Busho, who the rest of the nation helped vote in did indeed cause the illegal probelm to grow, and that is costing us in californazia.
still we had liberal politicans in california that did some bad stuff, over spent, but then again, so did El Jorge el Busho, no child left behind, prescription drug benifits, good ole el Busho (elected by the nation) suported the first big bail out to wall street in his last days. this is paid by californians. in fact becuase california is expensive to live in, many californians live on a higher salary than most folks that live in other states with lower costs of living.
what this effectivly means is that californians who must earn more to live here, are stuck in a higher tax bracket.
that means an average say plumber in california ends up paying a lot more in federal taxes than say a plumber from Alabama. we get hit with more taxes cuase we have to earn more, AND we are forced to pay a higher percentage becuase of the escalating tax brackets.
that said the feds should not give the state money. saying no to givin them money is the only way to stop the liberal’s spending habits out here in california. we got teh liberals in a vice right now, teh california voters have spoken, no more taxes, we dont need the feds to come in and give these liberals anymore money to spend, they need to end spending.
what tehfeds can do to help is immediatly stop illegal immigration, and start deportation on a mass scale.
the feds could lay off on EPA rules that make our gasoline the amoung the most expensive in the nation becuase it has to be special blend. the fed’s should end the punitive tax brackets that now rob more money from folks that have high cost of living. time to have one fixed tax rate for all!! (or at least a cost of living adjustment for high cost locations!!)
the feds have alot to do with californias probelms, they could help fix things by changing laws (or enforcing the ones on illegals) so that our costs can go down, The feds could help out by eliminating expensive mandates that are unfunded, by making taxes lower. this will help. californians are sick and tired of the higher taxes we end up paying the feds becuase of cost of living, we are sick of the illegals robbing tax money form us (as evidenced by out vote to end the payments)
Yes california could use alot of help from the Feds, what I ask is for teh feds to butt out, and stop taxing us. that will do the most good to help out.
californains helped pay for rebuilding new orleans, the 9-11 clean up, we help subsidize home heating oil on teh east coast. (have east coasters ever offered to subsidize my energy bill????)
all I ask is not for the feds money, I ask for the feds to stop forcing us to spend. I ask that teh Feds round up the illegals, do teh job of national defense. i an sick and tired of these scummy illegals. heck we didnot even have a strong boarder cannidate in the president race, good old Mc Lame was open boarder!!! good greif!!!!!
if we had no illegals to pay for, out budget probelms would basically be gone. we got the bulk of them, send in the army and remove these invaders.
California liberals like to act like they are running a country. They are a State. They don’t have to pay for New Orleans - that was leftists mugging for the Katrina cameras. Multiply that by a million leftist stunts and you have California’s budget.
Your cost of living will go down with housing prices - down 36% just april 08 - april 09. The bubble in California was extremely exaggerated. You will always have even higher taxes on gas because leftists - mugging for the global warming cameras - wacked you good. That was “fiscally conservative” and extremely stupid Arnie.
Everyone feels the same way as California...weary of the Federal government on our backs.
Stay away from areas where riots will break out when the welfare checks and student grants stop coming in. The sense of entitlement there is over the top.
