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?
Oh, I am not so sure of that. Now that there is no more tax base to finance socialist fantasies, things stand a chance of changing.
Brown is already cutting some things. Soon more things. Like Illinois, we have chased or are chasing every legitimate business out of the state. Property values are falling, and will fall even further. This is putting an even greater hurt on the tax base.
We have to hit bottom before the idiot socialists will have no choice but offer incentives for business to return. I give it one or two years.
Hey, I'm an optimist.
