It just gets better and better in California....

Socialism at its zenith.

From "only" 9 billion to 16 billion. What's that, a ninety % increase? I was listening to a couple of guys(from foreign countries)talk about France and what a tough row to hoe it was for Germany to try and get austerity across to the Euros. The Germans are between a rock and a hard place; trying to help the helpless and still not look like, well, Germans. The guys said it would take "structural change" and mentioned that the U.S. doesn't want to do it either and just prints money and that can't(corrected word) go on forever.
As Steve Marin used to say, Those French! Did I hear this right? The new Prez wants to raise the tax rate on the wealthey from 40% to 75%, keep the four day work week and LOWER the retirement age from 62 to 60. Merci!

And the answer is....................................

Higher taxes of course. Moonbeam wants the state of Kalifornia to pass a bill for a higher sales tax and and increase the tax rate on the wealthest of Kalifornia. For them that means anyone making $50K or more. Same old mantra of the left, throw more money into the pot and that will take care of things. I could fix this bullsheet in 30 days if I was Governor.

Oh Gawd!!!! This will mean more Libtards fleeing the Left Coast and coming to our Rich, Conservative ................ I mean our Decadent, Hick, Redneck Southern States.

They will swarm here and then try to change us. From our Low Taxes, Pro-Life, Pro-Gun states to their Liberal Utopia that worked so well back there in La La Land.

Libtards .... they know SOOOO much.

Arizona has had that problem for a long time. After fouling their nest in Kalifornia, they move to Arizona and BRING THEIR POLITICS WITH THEM!

That's always been my pet peeve .... Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho and Washington...

"We want to get away from all the high taxes, excessive regulations, corrupt politicians and overcrowding ... and bring all of it to our new homes!!"

"Fouling their nest" describes it perfectly!

[Dan Shapiro]

But...but....but Moonbeams new taxes will only be "temporary". Trust him! And the new taxes will bring in $9 Billion - or maybe not. Comptroller's office says MAYBE $6 Billion. These were the same clowns who told us last June that the budget was "balanced" and "realistic". Of course the MSM can't seem to recall that it was the Republicans that said Jerry's predictions were way too "rosy".

But hey! You guys will be envious of our brand new, shiny "Bullet Train!"

See ya in bankruptcy court!

On another note, the same stupid voters will send the same dumb politicians back to Sacramento this November. The Democrats are counting on it.

Doesn't matter how much they raise taxes they will always SPEND MORE than they have.

Apparently Governor Moonbeam is unawre of the Interstate Highway System -- all anyone in California has to do is get on I40 or I80 and head east. Of course, the people still living there probably don't have the brains to figure that out.
