Note to all the dim bulbs polled who don't understand the difference: Folks, you're about to find out the hard way.
Stampede!
So, California will become like NYC, and have less revenue to show for it.
Figures. And yes, the voters here ARE that dumb.
The “Y’all Are Welcome” sign is out in Texas. We don’t really need California in this republic. Redistributionist hell.
There is a reason that the founder of E-bay moved to Nevada. These idiots are doing everything that they can to kill this state and this would be just another nail in it’s coffin. I will be LMAO when this whole stinking thing collapses around their ears.
We need to place checkpoints at the Texas border and check their voter registration cards to make sure they’re Republicans before letting them in.
Personally I have almost no hope that Republicans have any weapons to use against this. The majority of Americans, probably even majority of Republicans will never understand what the argument against it is. The Republicans will always be the “party of the rich”. I think they should be ready to compromise as best they can if they can get something in return. Call me a RINO but I prefer to call myself a pessimist.
Well, after all, it is the high-income Californians who are responsible for this whole budgetary mess, isn't it? Then it's only natural that they should called to account for it, right?

As if there weren’t already enough California refugees in Texas.
I never made $500K in one year in all my life, but I pulled up stakes in SoCal and got my hiney to Texas six years ago.
Looks like I wasn’t the first, nor will I be the last. The exodus continues.
Seems to me, that in order to be fair, there should be a competing Ballot Measure to ABOLISH The Income Tax in California. Then listen to them crow.
If they could just get enough of our money, they could solve all our problems.
“Obviously, the people are getting frustrated with the minority party in the Legislature,” said Gov. Jerry Brown’s spokesman Gil Duran, who declined to take a position. “Eventually, their voices will be heard.”
What unmitigated horseshit. Typical from a liberal.
These idiots deserve what they get.

Another one bites the dust......

California already has a very progressive income tax system. I own a payroll service in California and recently I was examining a couple payroll tax returns. On the one return there were 4 or 5 employees who earned a combined roughly 45,000 for the quarter. On the other return there was one doctor who single-handedly earned 45,000 for the quarter. The doctor had to pay about 2.75 times the federal income tax of the 5 employees combined. The doctor also had to pay about 4.75 times the CA state income tax of the 5 employees combined! The point is, we already have a highly progressive income tax system here and it doesn’t seem to be yielding prosperity.
What angers me about Brown is his glib and dismissive attitude toward any real reforms in the budget process, pensions, etc.
When asked why the tax extensions proposed for the June ballot had to be for FIVE years, when the state is dealing with a one-year deficit, he casually dismissed the questioner, saying five years seemed about right to him.
These are the same tax extensions the voters rejected by a 2-1 margin back in 2009. Now he's going to blame the Republicans for his failure to get these on the ballot this year, even though he knows the voters would probably reject them again.
Democratic politics as usual, nothing changes in Sacramento.
