Making Progress

At least Virginia, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico have come around.

I thought Rome was getting a new show on CBS.

:?

[Mikey]

Yep, and mofos from both sides seem intent on ignoring all of it.

[Goober McTuber]

Thanks for the link, Chicken Little. I didn't read the whole story. Did the Romans elect a black emperor?

5. Elimination of the Middle Class

You believe this bullshit and still vote Republican?

No doubt it was the real beginning of the fall.

Did I read this wrong? Help me out here, especially Mikey. Did the folks in California just vote to reduce their own purchasing power by raising taxes? Is that what you call progress and moving forward?
Interesting concept.

Yep. One more step towards the one party communist system you liberals are jonesing so bad for.

"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana

Might be a bad idea not to take a possibility so lightly Goober. History does tend to repeat.

"History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce." - Karl Marx

Hmm, on second thought, when the book of life is finally written, maybe the lighter side is best after all.

"Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life... " - Eric Idle

You are one painfully stupid motherfucker.

My purchasing power is just fine and will remain so.

Unlike you, apparently, the majority of the people in California realize that we actually have to pay for the services we get and that a well educated population benefits the whole state, business included.

Sorry we don't conform to your caveman ideal.

[Mikey]

I'm glad that the People of California decided to raise their own taxes. Those who like that idea will flock there, and those who don't can move away and escape it if they so choose. That is how it is supposed to work, yo.

Yep, and guess what? We voted almost 2-1 to reform our three strikes law. It will probably put thousands of violent pot smokers back on the street, but at least it should save around $90 million per year.

The prison guards union was no doubt against this, which wolfie probably appreciates, but with so many more criminals on the street this one's probably a wash for him.

I said we, not weenies. So it doesn't apply to you.

Your post is a perfect example of what typing without thinking looks like.

Nice two and three year old data you've cited there. I see it also doesn't mention why any of the companies moved (maybe because of the state starting to shut down the greatest university system in the world?), how much they were worth, or how many companies are moving into the state.
But then I wouldn't expect you to think any deeper than what you can get from a pretty color picture.

You don't follow along very well do you?
Or spell for that matter.
You can pack up and leave any time now.

Should be easy to summon up that kind of data...that naturally suffiently impressed the voting populace....

the services we get

Go ahead and break it down for me. Lay out the "bang for the buck" we're getting on all these awesome services in California.

Any time you're ready.

[Derron]

(maybe because of the state starting to shut down the greatest university system in the world?)

You actually think that has anything to do with companies leaving the state ?? Fucking myopic liberals.

Yeah, you're right. Having an available pool of educated and qualified potential employees has nothing to do with attracting and keeping business.
At least not for any job you've dreamed of scoring.

Sorry my bad.

[mvscal]

Having an available pool of educated and qualified potential employees has nothing to do with attracting and keeping business.

Nope. It sure doesn't. As usual, you're completely assbackwards. The collapsing revenue base is the reason "the state starting to shut down the greatest university system in the world."

The revenue base is collapsing because businesses and productive citizens are fleeing the state by the millions. That isn't an opinion. It's a fact.

[Mikey]

That isn't an opinion. It's a fact.

Obviously you don't know the difference.

But they are going to get more revenue by raising taxes. That should solve that problem, right ??

It's a start.

Why do you care anyway?

Saving $100 million a year by letting the pot smokers out of jail won't hurt either.

There aren't any in jail, you fucking moron at least not for smoking pot. California is already one of the highest tax states in the fucking cuntry and it's going bankrupt.

Raising taxes isn't going to do jackfuckingshit except force even more people and businesses to leave the state. The end result will be nothing but 1%ers huddling in gated communities and the hordes of lower class entitlement leeches who serve them. Just like Mexico.

I don't give a fuck.... As soon as the 9.0 shakes that miserable piece of land off the earth and you float to Asia, the better off we will be.

What progress has California made towards reducing their debt and reducing expenses of the last 50 or so years, that makes you think more TAXES are going to help? I will take your answer off the air.

[Wolfman]

Let me think this one over some more. Taxes increase, yet some folks like Mikey will still have the same amount of money to buy stuff. How can that be? AH---you do not pay taxes! Silly me.

[smackaholic]

Apparently he isn't quite in the tax bracket that is effected.

I am sure there are mega rich that will shrug this off, but, plenty of almost rich folk that are will pick up and leave. I suspect Arizona, Nevada and Utah are happy it passed and will appreciate adding some almost rich types to their rolls.

Except for Hollywood which will be exempt from any onerous taxation. They're all about making you pay your fair share while they live high on the hog.

I guess you're too old to comprehend something written in plain English.

Does you wife have to give you sponge baths?
Do you also need help dressing in the morning?
Do you have a key to your own house?
