In the wake of the failure of the five finance measures on California’s ballot yesterday, George Will forecasts further decline for the Golden State:
Now California’s mostly Democratic political class will petition Washington for a bailout to nourish the public sector that is suffocating the state’s dwindling — and departing — private sector. The Obama administration, which rewarded the United Auto Workers by giving it considerable control over two companies it helped reduce to commercial rubble, will serve the interests of California’s unionized public employees and others largely responsible for reducing the state to mendicancy.
Looks like the columnist has found his way back to Olympus.
Saprophytes: they live off the host until it weakens under their weight and comes crashing down taking all the clingers and hangers on with it.
It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature.
California Assembly speaker Karen Bass says, voters were tired and confused, and that’s why they rejected the tax hikes.
See, it has nothing to do with California’s bloated bureaucracy, its 235,000 state workers with solid gold pensions, or the $13 Billion spent each year on services for illegal immigrants. No, it’s because all this democracy made voters too tired to realize that taxes were good for them.
A few weeks ago, this same Karen Bass was caught trying to sneak through a pay raise for her legislative cronies despite the state’s financial crisis.
The bailing out of failed state governments by the citizens of other, more responsible states will greatly boost secession/tenth amendment rights movements. Californians screwed themselves over, Californians should face the consequences.
I remember the 70’s when “The Man” was the enemy. Unfortunately, Karen Bass (an African American Woman) has become “The Man.” The unfortunate Middle Class in California have become the “Neo Negros” that government doesnt want to listen to when it come to government by the people. I, for one, was not tired of voting or lacked understanding of the initiatives. People of all colors were sick and tired of being taxed, taxed and taxed by Sacramento. Check out KFI Radio’s website. Specifically, the John and Ken Show for a glimpse of the “tired, uninformed, stupid California voters.
