I am not saying I am serious “intellectual capital” but I do have a six-figure income and California (the land of my birth and home for over 5 decades) pushed me out with its insanity.
I love being a Texan — much smarter laws and much nicer folk.
Cauliphonya appears to be intentionally driving out all of the normal people.
The ship deserting the sinking rats.
Watch for armies of illegal alien landscapers moving east...
The good people of California only need to make sure that slightly more than 1/3rd of their representatives are Republicans in order to keep their taxes from going up. Meanwhile the huge majority of Democrats can pass wave after wave of increasingly socialist legislation.
If every vote in the state legislature was simple majority wins, then the Republicans might have a fighting chance to get a majority every once and a while.
Certainly the indoctrinated liberals will support ever-increasing spending and taxing, but the average voter will revolt at some point.
Right now with Prop 13 we all get to have our cake and eat it to: more and more government programs with no fear of raising taxes.
Let our grandchildren eat ...?
Although its supporters claimed that the purpose of this law was to "protect the children," its real purpose was to protect the jobs of unionized clerks at the check stands and to force fully-automated stores such as Fresh and Easy to hire unionized checkers or go out of business.
Who cares?
As soon as the democrats get all the illegals voting illegally and they reach 51%, California will vote to secede and join Mexico.
Oh, it’s far too late for us Californians!
One only has to look at the results of the 2008 elections to see that most of the leftist radicals (like Brown) were voted into office with well over 10 percentage points (and lots of voter fraud) — they left the Republicans in the dust. There is no turning back at this point, and as Pat Buchanan says: Demographic is Destiny!
Anyone from another state driving around my formerly nice California city would be shocked at how many businesses are boarded up — and have been that way for several years.
I’d leave too if it weren’t for job constraints and elderly relatives who have no one else. We are being taxed out of existence here with calls from the statehouse for even higher taxes! Someone has to pay for all the illegals Section 8 housing, medical bills, EBT cards and education for their children.
What was that expression by Margaret Thatcher? Something about sooner or later the socialists run out of other people’s money. California is on the brink of bankruptcy.
What do you think is going to happen when the EBT cards run out?
It’s looking like the Golden States No longer Golden.Lets just say their Government killed the goose that layed the Golden Egg.
Not that I’m happy about it because my own State,Connecticut is trying to follow California’s example.
Note to California politicians, public unions, and illegal aliens: The good ship Golden State (aka “Titanic II” has hit the iceberg of rising taxes, increased Draconian regulations, and out of control spending. Robbibg Peter to pay Paul, while exacting a huge service fee has just about killed the productive sector in CA.
The productive business and taxpayers are voting by abandoning ship, It isn’t a question of whether California can survive, but when it takes its final plunge into oblivion. The productive are in the lifeboats and racing from Titanic II. Meanwhile the illegals, union morons, a political whores are rearranging the deck chairs as the ship of state continues to sink.
Bye-bye, California. Last one out, turn out the lights and lock the door — or not, because it will have been stripped and sold by illegals.
We left, along with my husband’s business, 2+ years ago. Motor-voter did California in. When you have foreigners affecting politics, the USA (and the States) suffer. Don’t let the Obama Admin make Motor-voter the Law of the Land! Our Land will be lost forever!
