I suppose this means he will have a staged setting of paid yahoos roboting right along with him.

"Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death." James Madison

Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. John Adams: letter to John Taylor, April 15, 1814

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.:Thomas Jefferson

[Clock King]

I say let them do it. Until the “people” face the hard cold world of socialism where there is no money, no jobs, no food on the shelves, and no hope, they will not understand how the world works. They need to feel the pain.

I’m in favor of it. Of course, rich liberals will pack their bags and move to a low-tax jurisdiction. Texas and Florida will welcome a lot more high income ex-Californians, thanks to the absence of a state income tax. I hope Jerry Brown sends other states his cream of the crop. It can’t happen soon enough!

“A democracy ... can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates (Jerry Brown) promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy ..." ― Alexis de Tocqueville

OK there are more people that don't make above a Million dollars a year then people who make above a Million dollars a year. The logic is ‘I will vote for someone else to pay the taxes, just so long as it isn't me.’ so you take the majority of the people, and vote against the minority of the people the majority will win the election every time. Using this same logic. Why not have everybody vote for the Mexicans to pay more taxes. Since they are a minority. Wait hold on here “that is unfair” one might say. Why? You are choosing a group and saying they have to pay more taxes because of (blank). Fill in that blank with race, income, ethnicity, sexual preference, religion, what ever you want. As long as the majority votes for it then the minority has got to go along with it, right? This one group saying ‘another group has to pay more taxes,’ is going to cause a lot of damage in the long run. All taxes should be even for everybody across the board.

All you rich people in California, come to Texas and spend your money here!

[bilhosty]

In otherwords he is spending more money buying off teachers unions. why Not make these tax raises permanant, we can use more jobs in Georgia. And then again the upper 1% in California seems to like taxes why not make them live up to thier own values.

[eyedigress]

Just keep on keeping on California. Tennessee will welcome a few more of your major companies as HQ.

[eyeamok]

Since Moonbeam wants to put this directly on the Ballot, shouldn’t there be competing initiatives?? one to Repeal the Income Tax completely and on to Lower the Sales tax to 5%. I mean wouldn’t that be the FAIR thing to do, Be Pro Choice and all??

[paul51]

moonbeam, take your taxes and jam em. I’m off to WY.

[KosmicKitty]

What happens to Kalifornia and Gov. Moonbeam when there are no more high earners??

[poobear]

Wow, those new RV’s and Prius’ payments on the Pension Retirements are going to be so screwed when the checks stop.

[markman46]

hey gov clown i got a big Hell no for you

[Gilbo_3]

would generate nearly $7 billion in dedicated funding to protect education and public safety.

why is extortion of the children and public safety always used while the freebies for illegals and other such wasteful spending are off limits ???

Im startin to believe the 'plan' is actually to uproot the wealthy and disperse them, along with their socialist leaning ideologies to more conservative places, watering those down as well...its been happenin for decades and they keep eroding everybody elses FReedom bit by bit...

same strategy with every third world reject allowed to hop the border...we r screwed...
