If they could just find a way to get enough of our money, they could solve all our problems.

Now they can.

This is the sort of action that is needed to teach people. Pain, and more pain.

It’s the only way people learn.

"They'll probably start by repealing Proposition 13's tax cap for commercial property. Democrats in the Assembly held hearings on the idea this spring.

If I were Texas and the like I would be on the lookout for this to occur. California is already business hostile as it is. They do this, and companies will be looking for other states to move to that treat businesses fairly with the thought of creating jobs and actually keeping them.

And don't think that this will be limited to commercial property. Prop 13 affected personal property, and they could make a bundle (in the DEM's minds) raising all property taxes to current property values. Of course, this will cripple those in retirement and fixed incomes and have owned their homes for quite some time.

Watch for calls of a bailout of the People’s Revolutionary Soviet of California.

Good, let ‘em go. The faster the better. Just don’t come begging for a bailout.

RINOs in Washington DC are doing the same as CA Democrats.

You no longer have to wait for an earthquake to send California tumbling into the oceans, the Democrats will do just as well.

RE: Voters approved Proposition 30 “temporarily” increasing the state sales tax and income tax on individuals making over $250,000.


How many of us are willing to bet how long it will take before they decide to make “temporarily” permanent?

Yep, the producers are leaving in droves. So the vultures will feed on the few remaining carcasses until those are picked dry then they'll scream for help.

The ones who are on fixed income and retirement savings have been voting Democrat for years. They are only getting what they wanted.

The silver lining here is that Americans will be able to see the modern liberal-union state in all its raw ambition.

BULL CRAP!

They will see no such thing.... they'll just lap up the vomit spewed at them by the State Run Media: "boo-hoo, if only rich white people weren't so stingy and terrible!"

So long, California, it was (kinda) nice knowing you. Guess I'll buy most of my wine from Argentina now!

Been happening already. Both defense and tech are getting clobbered in California. If I needed to work another 10+ years in either industry, I would move to another business friendly state.

While Carlo Rossi is quite plentiful here in the small towns of the Philippines, I stock up on Spanish and South American wines, at about half the cost, when I buy them in a city.
The best part is that they come in 1 ltr paper boxes, so it is quite easy to carry as much as 20 ltrs.
I am sipping Don Garcia (tinto) as I type this.
There are about four brands from SA and Spain.

A parable for dwellers of Californicate: A man was sitting in a chair and would strike himself in the head with a hammer several times and then stop. A moment later he would do the same thing all over. A Texan stopped and asked the man why he was hitting himself in the head with a hammer. The man answered, “I like the way it feels when I stop”.

Like the way people in Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago learned and rose up and voted out the Democrats.......

Sorry but if they haven't learned by now they will never learn. I guarantee, we will be hearing about how bad Arnold & Pete Wilson and even Reagan ruined California so bad it's going to take more than 4 years to undo all the damage they did.
