Just like the socialists of Spain and Greece, America's socialists may win the battle but when the economy collapses they will lose the war. Though the brainwashed will still be in the streets squealing "TAX THE RIIIIIIIIICH!".

I always wondered why other states advertised as a tourist destination while California wanted people to move there permanently. It all makes perfect sense.

As goes California - the best part of that article is the always present conservative reference to "The Gipper". Those references always seem to forget the massive debt he left us with, along with Bush (1 and 2) and now Obama. Someday a fiscal conservative like myself will have a party to vote for and not ones(Rep and Dem) that only find it convienent when out of power.

Good points. Republicans need to return to their libertarian and isolationist roots. You can't create a sustainable government without dismantling the military-industrial complex, ending the national police state and the "War On Drugs".
However, it must be said that the the "massive" deficits of Reagan/Bush sure look good in the era of Barry Zero.

good article. Takers have reached critical mass and it will only get worse.

California continues its Bread and Circuses style leftist politics while the state decays as the liberals legislate. Moonbeam Brown was resurrected from the failed ash heap of history by a populace seeking to live off the fat of the land without working but instead by taxing the "rich". In California the rich are people who work,own a business and are successful. Many have moved here to Fort Worth and DFW. No state income tax, reasonable housing,warm climate and a thriving "evil" oil and gas market. Kalifornia will eventually be bailed out by the US taxpayer (much like Greece with Europe). Look on the bright side. Soon Kalifornians will have all the free legal marijuana they can choke down. They will then forget they are jobless and march down to the Munchie Administration Bldg. for their next govt. handout. It's only fair.
