Tax itself to prosperity?That would be a first,for anywhere in the world.
Tax to obscurity is more likely.
Like Cuba and the Soviet Union.
Exactly
~Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
Experience is the key.
Socialism always fails, always.
Too big to fail.
California must have a death wish to elect an old fart socialist like Brown.
He’s the poison that will kill the state.
The people of a state try to relive the past, when the dynamics and demographics were not even close to comparable.
Brown was briefly successful during a time when California was growing and there were countless business opportunities. Laws and taxes were also much different during a time when Conservatism still had an influence in the state.
For Brown to use the same methods and tactics he used during a past and gone era is a guaranteed failure. California in the final stages of decline. Too many business have left and the technology industry that made California a great place to do business from, has ended.
The entire state is nothing but a staging area for Illegal Aliens to congregate and gain a foothold. The state's Welfare/Medicaid system is so corrupt and hopeless, that not even a miracle will end this disaster.
He, and Californians generally, are depending on the rest of us, forced by President Obama, to bail them out.
There is a nonsensical idea floating about that Californians deserve to be bailed out because they pay more in federal taxes than the federal government spends in or gives to California. This makes not sense. Federal spending is not based on insuring that each State receive in Federal expenditures how much money its citizens pay in Federal taxes.
If Californians, on retirement, leave their heavily taxed state and move to another, thus taking Federal Socialist Insecurity and Medicare funds with them, this does not mean that we need to bail out California!
They’ll have to pass a law limiting how much someone can take when they leave.
Hey, that would make a nice tag line.
I’m not willing to help pay for California’s overpriced orgy.I doubt if anyone else is either.
Since the uber wealthy sabotaged the initiative against the global warming hoax it has been noted that these plutocrats have it in their heads to turn California into a rich person’s eco-paradise.
No, sadly, when California is well and truly bankrupt, they’ll whine to the federal government for us to bail them out, and like the dutiful sheep they are, they’ll bail California out and stick the rest of us with the bill. When that day comes, the Republic will be well and truly dead.
Excuse me, but California "bails out" the rest of the United States to the tune of $30 billion a year, to this day. The higher incomes here mean that people pay higher income taxes to the Feds. California's share of Federal expenditures is $0.78 on the dollar it sends to Washington.
THANK GOD ..... that Pelosi is not speaker when this state goes belly up.
California needs to lead the way on how to go bankrupt on its own dime.
I didn’t get to smoke dope and ride the surf board for the last 20 years. They did.
