Maher slams California's 'super-high taxes,' cites Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro as part of state's 'exodus' (vs Schiff)

"Real Time" host Bill Maher took a moment on his show Friday night to slam his Democrat-controlled home state of California and sound the alarm over the "exodus" that is taking place.

During an interview with Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Maher acknowledged that local issues were not in the congressman's "domain" but said he still felt the need to "b---- a little bit."

"There is an exodus," Maher said before reading from his notecard.

And let’s not forget. Newson appointed a team to research what reparations would look like. A team costs money. And any financial monies dispersed from such a decision to pay them ALSO comes straight out of our taxes in California.

By ‘them’ I mean reparations for slavery.

"Well, I think we have to make every effort to make this a more business-friendly state," Schiff responded. "And I don't think that there's anything incompatible with being progressive and also wanting to make sure that this is a place that businesses can survive and thrive."

LOL.

I grew up in California, went to college here and have spent my whole life here. My house goes up for sale next spring - I’m working from home in Silicon Valley and it’s just as easy to work from home from Texas. California has been run solely by the Democrats effectively since Pete Wilson left office (I won’t count Schwarzenegger as anything other than a liberal, regardless of what he ran as). The state is no longer recognizable - this stopped being Reagan Country sometime in the ‘90s and morphed into a bizarre amusement park for leftists.

For the last few years or so, he’s been waking up to the high taxes he’s paying. Even a blind squirrel is right twice a day.

Much of LA County is now Asian-Chinese buying mostly real estate and living quarters. If Prop 15 passes to hit commercial real estate by reassessing properties (Going around Prop 13 protect) watch commercial real estate tank further. Perfect set-up for the Chinese to move in on the fire sales.

VOTE NO ON PROP 15 & 19

So he just keeps attacking the very politicians who want to do something about it.

I married into a LARGE Ventura Co, CA family. My FIL had 5 brothers and sisters all in CA, most worked in law enforcement or film industry in Burbank. My MIL had 4 brothers and all but one lived in CA. With my wife's uncles aunts, and grown cousins, there were 20+ native CA families when we met in 2008.

By 2018 there was only 1 of the inlaw families left, waiting for his 30 years at CHips so he can retire.

Almost 20 FAMILIES have fled CA from Thousand Oaks, Newbery Park, Camarillo, etc since 2008 for CO, WY, NV, ID, AZ, etc.

When my FIL unpacked his modest 1950s and 60s gun collection in ID, we counted more that 1000 years in CA prison due to magazines, ammo, and "banned" semi autos....now perfectly legal in ID.

Luckily for those states they moved to, they picked up a bunch of conservative, pro gun, pro life voters.

He will. MY inlaws sold their 1500 sq foot house in Thousand Oaks, CA for 800k in 3 days 2 years ago with multiple bidders. (after listing it for 725k).

Their neighbor was fixing up a smaller home next door and hoping to get 750k 2 years ago and sold last month for 900k.

Notice in this exchange that not once does Maher question his vote for a Democrat. Leftists — especially in California — act as if there are no political alternatives.

It’s this very same attitude that has these blue state refugees not changing their voting habits once they transplant to a red state.

There’s truly a level of mental illness in this way of thinking...

[California]...morphed into a bizarre amusement park for leftists.

Good one!

I wonder what the archaeologists of the future will think when they excavate the ruins.

Yes - unless Americans breed, it is inevitable.

The new upper classes we’ve created in Asia, as well as their underclasses we entice here, are the only people for whom CA, NJ, or NY is a step up.

Many Americans who remember the “before-times” see them as nothing desirable anymore - just a non-stop stream of bills, fees, regulations, taxes, etc..

Schiff sounds just like the villains in Atlas Shrugged: "Producers produce! That's what they do! It isn't fair that we can't take just a little more from them to meet the needs of the people!"

It is impossible for them to understand that the Golden Goose can be killed by their policies. They don't want it to be true...so it can't be.
