Gov. Jerry Brown Compares California to Egypt in State of the State Address
Published February 01, 2011 | FoxNews.com
Newly elected Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday blasted opponents of his plan to reduce California's massive deficit by comparing their opposition to a referendum on proposed tax increases to oppression in Egypt and Tunisia.
"When democratic ideals and calls for the right to vote are stirring the imagination of young people in Egypt and Tunisia and other parts of the world, we in California can't say now is the time to block a vote of the people," the Democrat said in his first State of the State speech since being elected in November to a third term as California's chief executive.
Brown, who previously served two terms as governor beginning in 1975, has proposed a special election in June to let voters choose whether to extend higher vehicle fees and sales and income taxes to help balance a $25 billion deficit, the largest state deficit in the nation. The $12.5 billion in budget cuts would be paired with temporary extension of current taxes and a realignment of government that requires a vote before it could become effective.

If it were just the people who had opposed the crap who were leaving California, I wouldn’t have a problem. But a large percentage of the people leaving CAUSED the current problems that they can no longer live with.
California like Egypt in the sense that it is a dictatorship, perhaps?
I would have said Greece, but if the Governor wants to be the Mubarak of California, so be it.
Well, if Cal. is like Egypt, then maybe the head of government should resign.
My point exactly. Such is the nature of a metastatic tumor; it spreads....
My point exactly. Such is the nature of a metastatic tumor; it spreads....
...a state where Muslim oligarchs spouting Marxist ideas are taking over?
Yeah - is that Egypt or California?
Ohh. Sorry to hear that. I didn’t realize Egypt was so far gone
I saw the destruction of Seattle by ex-Cali liberals in the 1990s who came up here in mass. They arrived here bitching about the crime, illegals, taxes, anti-family, etc... And what do they do when they arrive? They immediatly start voting for only moonbat liberal democrats whose policies were exactly the reason California has become such a cesspool. So now it's become a one party state with massive budget deficits and out of control taxes just like California.
If California is Egypt, then Jerry must be California’s Mubarak...
No increase in taxes? So you do not want police, fire, and first responder protection then so be it! OK, citizens, you have spoken.
Egypt will happen all over California and thousands of women and children will be killed everyday!
Governor Brown is a true Democrat. He says that he will honor California citizens' desire to avoid "temporary" increased taxes -- but don't blame him for the unspeakable horrors citizens are about to suffer.

There is no other explanation... Democrats are immature idiots...
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Seattle was known as the northern San Francisco long before the mid ‘90s. I was in NW Washington in the mid 80s and it was VERY liberal even then.
The Best and the Brightest. Circa 1972. THIS was the best we had, folks...
already set for Arizona, but currently being held captive in California by a collapsed housing market and collapsed employment market with no end in sight. and Brown wants taxes on top of all of this? in a pig’s eye.
Is he going to step down?
Could this be that ole Jer had a self-fulfilling prophesy
and the people of CA will rise up against him because of his
tax and spend tactics for trying to pull CA out of the morass she's in!?
