Raising taxes will only speed up the departure of people in the middle from the Golden State.

Yep, during covid Dems deliberately gave everyone $4000 per month who applied and deliberately stopped checking for eligibility so not only did they give it to millions of illegals aliens (which is illegal for them to do) but people in other countries applied and Democrats just gave away $24 billion and didn't bother to track anything because they KNEW fraud on a cast scale was occuring and didn't want there to be a paper trail.

That is the level of corruption one party states have.  Now the state unemployment fund is broke and in debt so Dems are raising taxes, again, without reforming anything so it will just happen again.

California's gas tax already goes up every year automatically as it is indexed to inflation.  Yet Democrats have so over spent there is now a $65 billion budget deficit and $24 billion in unemployment funds are "unaccounted for" meaning stole by fraud.  Now, Democrats could seriously reduce spending to balance the budget but instead they want to raise taxes which are already the highest in the nation.

They are pushing a new $0.50 per gallon gas tax on top of the existing  $0.511 state gas tax and the federal $0.184 gas tax.  Of course, lying Democrats say "it is to fight climate change" when all it will do is feed inflation and make life still more unaffordable

Not nearly to the same degree and they weren't nearly as unhinged and insane back then.

Why not just run them over?

Facts Muslims don't want to hear.  BTW the Islamic world practiced the slave trade for 14 centuries and enslaved 20-25 times as many Africans.  They also attacked, conquered or tried to conquer every non-muslom society, and enslave them.

Why specialists want to destroy western civilization and Christianity.  A review of historical documents written by self declared socialists including how they plan to accomplish it.  It is literally everything the left pushes to thos day.

She and the rest of the lefties on that forum are always looking for someone to hate.

College educated are leaving California in large numbers fleeing to more affordable states.  Yet Democrats are still focusing on making the state ever less affordable.  If I already didn't have paid off property and a rental business then I too would probably leave.  https://www.newsweek.com/california-college-degree-americans-leaving-exodus-1897121

All true.

Fucking retarded.  Santa Monica is building beach front homeless housing for $2 million per unit.

Not sure for Oakland but the state wide Average is not much better.  In the 1960s California had the best public schools in the country, in the 1990s it was still top ten, but now after Dems have completely taken over the state it went to bottom three.
