California has been on a steady downhill slide ever since Moonbeam was elected in the 70’s, remember, Reagan left office with a huge Budget Surplus and the State was booming. Then Moonbeam SPENT all of it and Buried the people in never ending Debt, and of course lets not forget that it was Moonbeam that gave us the Public Employee Unions in California.
So sad.
California looked so good when we returned from overseas in 1961.
The odd thing is housing prices are skyrocketing around here. They go on the market and get multiple offers for more than the asking price the first weekend. Word is it’s out of state investors driving it.
“Surf’s up!” And “Serfs out!” In California. Brought to you by the California Country Club Democrats.
They have to escape before CA builds a wall to keep them in...
He has another worry, perhaps the greatest worry.
The state of New York is heavily advertising about the wonderful advantages of moving businesses there. If that campaign is a success and the trend starts as business moves from California to NY, Brown has a real problem on his hands
As for me, no more voting for the lesser of 2 evils. There's either a conservative on the ballot or I stay home.
I have talked to a couple of So. Cal Realtors, both mentioned Asians paying cash we their biggest Customers.
—— California has been on a steady downhill slide ever since Moonbeam was elected in the 70s, -——
Especially depressing, since the cause was sheer stupidity (Moonbeam and his ilk) as much as crass venality (public sector unions).
No more voting for the lesser of 2 evils; a lie from the pit of hell.
LOL! That’s why I left Virginia. It was being overrun by refugees fleeing New York.
Funny how NY is running those ads touting that lowering taxes helps attract business. WELL DUH!!
Now they want to create these phoney tax deals to bring back what they ran off?
If the pubbies had any balls they would use these ads against them.
“Is it possible that one state has managed to top every 50-state category on the following shameful list?
Highest taxes (gasoline, sales and top bracket of income taxes)
Lowest bond rating
Highest poverty rate (at 23.5%, the home of 1/3 of those in poverty in U.S.)
Highest unemployment rate (tied with Mississippi and Nevada at 9.6%)
Highest energy costs
Worst state to do business (as judged by Chief Executive magazine 8 years running)
Most cities going bankrupt
Prison system so poorly run it has been taken over by a federal judge “
Let’s add worst EPA standards to meet and anti-everything good for you laws.
KKKalifornians call this “being Progressive.”
Why, why, why can’t true conservatives get their act together and rally around ONE candidate? Is it pride, power, the overestimation of one’s leadership ability?
We need to start a WWGW do campaign. (What would George Washington do?) He wouldn’t cowtow to voting for the less of two evils.
In fact George Washington warned about putting party, state, and personal gain before the nation.
I know the feeling. With rich people fleeing California and New York to protect their wealth, Florida has become infested with moonbats.
Not quite. In California the issuance of bonds requires a ballot initiative. It is the people of California who have buried themselves in never ending debt.
Unprincipled men don’t want principled men in leadership.
The state of New York is heavily advertising about the wonderful advantages of moving businesses there.”
You are right.
Gee, with NYS having:
probably the most corrupt and graft-ridden state government in the US
a governor ramming through anti-human rights legislation to punish its own citizens
a track record of 67 years of a declining business climate
sky-high Medicaid costs
sky-high property taxes
sky-high income taxes
hostility to everything American
forced unionization and forced confiscation of wages for union dues
an increasingly leftist orientation among the remaining citizens
Do you think the NYS advertisements will be successful? Has NYS done ANYTHING to address the above problems? Of course not. Of course, everything is relative and if you are in the finance business in San Fran you might think a move to Manhattan is feasible—that is what NYS politicians dream about. However, its all about fleecing rich people and nothing about helping business or the citizens of Calif, NY or anywhere else.
