That grin tells you he's pleased he's the new boss, with a super majority in the state legislature. What mischief can he get up to next?
The political class in our state answers to the public entity unions and the illegal alien/Hispanic lobby, and no one else.
How long until the actual generators of wealth, the actual working citizens, rebel against this? Or exit the state, accelerating the fiscal collapse that is probably already baked into the cake irrespective of whether these bills are passed or not?
The founding fathers, at the end of the 1700's, knew that Democracies naturally and inevitably collapse when the voters discover that they can elect representatives who will use the power of the state to transfer the wealth of others to them. That's clearly what's happening now in California.
As I was telling someone the other day, as the state becomes more and more desperate to pay for their fiscal obligations, they will become more and more desperate to seize the wealth of those people that create it. That will accelerate the emigration outward of all productive people. If you have property here, better sell it now. Believe me, that has started already, and will only become more pronounced as the governing elite continue to attempt to buy the votes of the non productive with the wealth of the productive.
Have you decided where you plan to escape to, and when? You're one of the kinds of Californians we need in Texas, rather than the Hollyweird/Silly-cone Valley types.
ReplyDeleteI'm all over that advice, CW.
ReplyDeletethe workers in mexifornia will never reject liberal politicians. their only problem is the state cannot legally print US currency. other than that, they are going nowhere.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on an escape plan already, but it breaks my heart. This has always been my home, and now these morons have wrecked it beyond repair.
ReplyDeleteJust after the midterms I got an email from loathesome Newsom, something along the lines of "hurray we won." I'm glad I don't know who gave him my email, I haven't got a convenient location to bury the body.
A little white pancake, lipstick, hair dye, and a purple jacket and you've got the Joker.
ReplyDeleteI’m a 5th generation Californian. In the late 1860’s my great, great grandfather was a “freighter,” hauling goods with his 18-horse rig between San Bernadino and Blythe on the Colorado River. During that time he was ambushed in a canyon by Indians. He returned fire (we still have his rifle) shooting several Indians, cut loose a horse, pulled out several arrows, and escaped to Agua Caliente, which is now called Palm Springs. They patched him up and after a few months of recovery he was able to return home. 100 years later, growing up in the 1960’s, California was a great place. But after Ronald Reagan’s governorship, the State went stupid in a hurry. I got out 30 years ago and raised my kids in a safer place.
ReplyDeletechicago is the way it is because of the blatant criminal class that festers there. california is the way it is because the criminal class is very low key and calls themselves "poliiticians".
