At every Dodger game in Los Angeles, "Take me out to the ball game" is played at the start of the 7th inning to give the fans a chance to stretch their legs. That's what we all ought to do right about now.
The State of California is at the brink of brokeness because it can not meet it's budget obligation. The State claims that because so many have lost their income, it takes in less income taxes.
Ask Manny Ramirez how that works. He lost 3.3 million in wages for his 50-game suspension, which calculates to a 1.5 million dollar loss of income taxes to our government (of course that is a combined state and federal tax estimate).
Ask Vice President Biden about his brother's and maybe even his son's federal investigation of a 86 million dollar investment fraud scheme in California. That's a big loss of California income tax owed not only by the Biden company, but by the individual investor's earnings.
As more and more of those California millionaires lose their earnings, whether derived through corruption, fraud, or the raping of the real estate and financial sectors, the State receives less and less income. So now California is asking the Federal government to bail them out.
Stretch your legs folks! California voters themselves defeated several tax initiatives today, refusing to pay any more money to their State, and saying "Enough is enough." So we, (everybody living outside of California) are supposed to support their lifestyle, which they refuse to pay for? Give me a break!
This Country is well beyond the Seventh Inning Stretch! Come take a stretch with me at the Thought Dock.

I hope you don't mind, but I copied todays post and sent it to several of my conservative friends and one NY liberal. I gave you credit. Awesome post.
ReplyDeletecoming from a "californian" i find your dribble a bit much to take today. they were voted down because the voters that care about this great state took the time to tell the legislatures enough IS enough ~ there is enough money collected already to pay the bills. 'tis mr govna himself asking for the bailout....right along with all the socialistic money grubbers running us at the fed level
ReplyDeletebest bet....move. some already have. tsk tsk
Sorry to offend the Regular California Folk. They did do the right thing. It's the Fat Kids of the Big City. The lawyers, bankers, movie actors, realtors, and the politicians that have raped that State. The liars, cheaters, Pelosis, the soccer moms driving the Hummers like their Govenor that I despise. I'm glad I got out, and I stretch my legs more often now because it's happening all around. Thanks for spreading the word, Mark. I need that counter count to get a spot with the tallented and beautiful Megyn on Fox News!
