EXITING CALIFORNIA! -- Invasion Of The Fleeing Golden Staters!

ICONOCLAST ^ | by Lin Anderson

[Apolitical]

A frightening invasion! Time to call out the Nevada National Guard!

[potlatch]

I hope it's only the conservatives deserting! Nobody wants an invasion of the freaky liberals from California. Just imagine California when only the liberals are left, it will be a zoo!!

...refugees from Gray Davis's Worker's Paradise.

Let's hope Graham, "Gray", Davis becomes himself, a refugee of his own making and finds his way back to his hometown of Brooklyn, New, York and stays there.

...but their goal always seems to be something along the lines of making our home feel an awful lot like their former home.

I've lived in Nevada all my life (40 years) and that line right there pretty much sums up the Californication going on around here.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Reno is a mess of dirty freezing snow in the winter and you if you want to live like a lizard, move to Vegas. It's like Phoenix, it's not a temperature, it's an oven setting.....

But personally, if 10 million move to Nevada tomorrow, it wont be too soon for me.

[Torie]

Oregon's economy is in the tank, with Washington close behind. The only problem with moving to Nevada, is that that means one must live there.

[Lancey Howard]

I would say it is already too late for Nevada.
Look at the scumbag governor (Kenny Guinn) they have there, and the corrupt and thoroughly politicized state Supreme Court. It looks to me like the scumbags have already taken over, the education mafia is firmly in place, and an income tax is not far behind.

I just sold my house. I will be leaving California on August 24th, bound for the South. California has been ruined by the nuts, many of whom came from other states. It has become a nut Mecca.

Unfortunately, I know that I am inevitably going to be tarred with the nut label wherever else I end up. I am going to have to put a sticker on my truck that says, "Don't shoot, I'm a Freeper!"

If it's the productive taxpayer who is now fleeing, it won't be long before the bloodsuckers follow. When will the productive get it? Fleeing only delays the inevitable. You have to start beating back the hordes to win. Beat them back. Mow your own lawns. Do your own dirty work. Otherwise, the slaves will eat you alive.

[potlatch]

Good for you!! Texas is still pretty conservative, especially outside the big citys. Good luck wherever you go.

[Age of Reason]

Nevada is also attractive by virtue of our having no state income tax

That won't last.

Now that Nevada's population density is increasing, they will soon have an income tax.

[Intolerant in NJ]

The bureau estimates that some 200,000 Californians made tracks to Nevada in the late 1990s...heard somewhere on TV yesterday that if it weren't for the illegal immigrants California would have shown negative population growth for like the last five years...no wonder Davis is so eager to make the illegals comfortable......

[Texas_Dawg]

Now that Nevada's population density is increasing, they will soon have an income tax.

Texas is over 22 million (85% of which live in metropolitan areas) and not even close to having a state income tax.

[Age of Reason]

California has been ruined by the nuts, many of whom came from other states. It has become a nut Mecca.

The last data I saw shows that more people left California for other states than came to California from other states.

Most of the California's population growth is from immigrants and newborns.

But no matter.

What you don't realize is that it doesn't matter where they come from--what matters is how crowded a place becomes and how diversified the population.

If you stuff a gazillion people into a house, especially if they all have different ideas about when to use the bathroom and when to have dinner and when to play loud music and when to sleep and which TV shows to watch and when to walk the dog and who gets to do it . . . you will have madness.

Then it becomes a matter of common sense survival to turn over individual freedom to a committee that will make and enforce laws governing when each of you are permitted to do something.

As with a house, so with a state or a country.

[Age of Reason]

Texas is over 22 million (85% of which live in metropolitan areas) and not even close to having a state income tax.

You will have it within ten-years (I'll guesstimate probably within six-years) if your population keeps growing like it has been.

. . . . unless the government has some other outrageously lucrative source of income.

But even then, you will have it--if for no other reason than to redistribute wealth.

[FastCoyote]

Don't despair quite yet, the stuff that happened recently in Nevada has energized our base, and the damage while real may be curable. Alas, California's problems are too deep.

I have my real estate license here in Las Vegas, any Californians need a house?

[Texas_Dawg]

You will have it within ten-years (I'll guesstimate probably within six-years) if your population keeps growing like it has been.

Yeah, you just let me know, OK? Your little theory is nice... it works in some places and not in others, so is basically just a silly theory that doesn't have much to do with anything. Texas has grown and grown and become more and more urban and is only getting more conservative. No one in Texas has ever even seriously mentioned having a state income tax that I know of. And Democrats are a dying breed in Texas so the trends seem to be against your theory there.

[MissAmericanPie]

Liberals are like a cancer, they spread their disease every where they land. It's time to ship them out along with illegal invaders.

Beware of Bustamente. He is associated with La Raza and I repeat, they will stop at nothing to get what they want.
