No; it’s because the leftist Obama Party, in complete control of the Legislature, wastes immense sums of money on state bureaucracy and welfare and has set up a tax system so harsh that it punishes working people, small businesses, and the drivers of a good economy.

Roughly 40 percent of California’s income-tax revenue comes from the much-harped-upon top 1 percent of earners. Thanks in part to the “millionaire tax” approved by voters in 2004, California’s income-tax rate has reached 10.55 percent on the highest earnings — second only to Obama’s native Hawaii, which taxes some income at 11 percent.

California is in crisis because state spending is so high that even those hefty taxes aren’t enough to balance the budget.

If leftist deadbeats like yourself, Countervail, actually paid your fair share instead of constantly trying to soak the rich, California would have a far more stable income stream. But you and your fellow moochers demand that other people pay so that you don’t have to work or earn your housing, health care, and spending money, and in a recession, those people can’t pay as much. But as expected, instead of being willing to limit his welfare checks and start paying his own expenses, the whining brat Countervail looks for new ways to tax productive people.

Blame Republicans for liberal fuck-ups in California? Oh that’s rich.

Fellahs, if you want to do the right thing, I suggest you make sure your own party doesn’t repeat this folly rather than bitch and moan about the other party you feel isn’t correcting your mistakes quick enough.
