Gov. Jerry Brown told The Bees editorial board that time is short for budget proposals: Weve got to get the truth out and what the consequences are.
Producers leave the state because of high taxes and massive regulation. Raise the taxes on the ones that have not left and add more regulation.
More producers leave the state because of even higher high taxes and regulation. Raise the taxes on the ones that have not left and add more regulation.
Even more producers leave the state because of even higher high taxes and regulation. Raise the taxes on the ones that have not left and add more regulation.
Repeat until it all collapses and there is nothing left but parasites and poverty. Blame the right.
Bye-bye California.
Let’s see how much longer your law to always pay your obligations hold up, when you’re out of money.
If there’s any good political news out of California nowadays, it may be that Democrats, from Governor Brown on down, control the state politically.
Every single statewide constitutional officer of California is a Democrat. Democrats control both the State Assembly and State Senate by comfortable margins.
California has problems, but politically, there is no way to deflect or share the blame. Good Democrats are in charge from top to bottom. The success or failure of their plans is all on them. Republicans cannot be blamed for anything that happens in California.
Why are they doing ballot initiatives to raise taxes?
Governor Arnold S. sponsored a special election a few years ago, with a package of tax increases to be voted on. Even liberal California voted these taxes down. There were 5 proposed tax increases on the ballot, if I recall correctly, and all five were voted down with well over 60% voting no.
And why does this go to the voters? Why doesn’t the legislature and governor earn their salaries, and deal with the structural finanancial problems, by doing their job and passing legislation?
Is it all political, so that the legislature and governor can say the people voted for taxes, not them???
Then, if the tax increases are voted down, then what does Jerry do?
“If we get down the road and there are no taxes,......”
Wow I did not know that Gov. Moonbeam’s California had the likelihood of no taxes.
Really.
I am assuming that “no taxes” is some kind of democRAT speak for “massive, new, oppressive, economically-savaging taxes”
California is selling yet more high interest bonds. Robbing MasterCard to pay Visa.
Time for California bankruptcy to readjust the gravy train of enormous pensions.
For too long Calif. has been led by liberal fools trying to be all things to all interet groups.
It quite obviously has not been a good experiment.
Now our neighbors in Calif are following govenor moonbeam and he has a, “plan”?
Good luck with that.
But hey, you elected that damned idiot just as we elected this punk ass marxist black ass clown so I guess we all deserve the ass whoopin we’re getting/
