Honestly, that’s a pretty misleading headline.
In the same sense that shooting up heroin makes sense to the junkie at the time.
I'm willing to give Republican candidates some latitude on social issues. But if they have not even the slightest understanding of free-market economics...what's the difference between them and the Democrat?
Every potential Republican officeholder should have to take a simple test on economics. If they don't pass, they can't run on the party line.
That’s a good idea. And Californians, I heard that there are unlimited numbers of new jobs in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts. ;-)
We don’t need to increase anything.
We have so much oil off the coast that it comes gurgling up through the ocean floor uninvited whether we want it to or not.
To sit flat on our backsides, bankrupt, with double-digit unemployment, can’t pay salaries, putting people on furlough left and right, when all you have to do is stick a straw in the coastal shelf and the stuff flows like water from a tap... is criminally stupid.
Get out of the way. It will cost the government nothing, the investment will come from private sources. They’ll put thousands to work. Companies all over the state and all over the country will go to work fabbing tools and equipment. They’ll all be paying taxes, income taxes, sales taxes, every kind of tax a statist mind can devise, and whats more the oil itself will generate royalty payments right into the treasury.
Or, you can sit paralized and bankrupt and stew about another penny in sales tax like thats going to save you as businesses and workers flee the state in caravans.
Hmmmmm, I remember him as an anti conservative guy that mocked us that didn't buy into his liberal visions, but if she thinks that Wilson was better than the two term Ronald Reagan then I guess we can accept that she is speaking from her corporate, Mitt Romney heart.
Huh? Stupid c*nt! We all know who the greatest California governor was. And he sure as hell was NOT little Petey!
Meg just thinks of them as final value fees :]
I think Californians better get ready to leave en masse.
If the republican candidate has no problem with raising fees otherwise known as taxes by 112 billion, you can imagine what the democrats are planning.
how about 112 billion in spending cuts instead...
$112 billion in taxes since 1993. That’s a few billion a year. And it was in 1993. She isn’t calling for a tax increase now.
This reads like another campaign’s press release.
And by that I mean it probably doesn’t belong in “news/activism”.
