California: Progressive Paradise

[danielpalos]

all foreign nationals in the US should have a federal id.

Nope.

They have their passports with their visa posted inside.

Whence any illegal problems? Only lousy capitalists lose money on border policy.

And there it is.

You keep repeating the same thing regardless of the topic.

yes, and you keep having nothing but fallacy. spending matters, right wingers. so does revenue generation.

Point to what is incorrect in my referral to passports, and what that has to do with spending?

capitalism works, right wingers; why eschew it at this capital opportunity?

Yeah, Americans took it over and completely destroyed it.

They’re always looking to create some sort of ‘paradise,’ those wacky totalitarians, aren’t they?
Remember that great ‘Workers Paradise’ behind the Iron Curtain???
Now….the American version……California.



1.Did Longfellow live in California????
Maybe not….but he sure knew about it:

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!

For the soul is dead that slumbers,

And things are not what they seem.



2.“Everyone thinks California is our most progressive state. And why not? It imposes the highest tax on the richest one percent. It is aggressively implementing Obamacare. And it is standing up to President Donald Trump on everything from immigration to the environment.

And yet the Golden State is also number one in poverty and inequality in America.


3.If racism is more than just saying nasty things — if it is, as scholars like James Baldwin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Michelle Alexander and countless others have described, embedded into socioeconomic structures — then California isn’t just the least progressive state. It’s also the most racist.


4.Homeless encampments of hundreds of people have cropped up around the state in the last two years. Occasionally, they are ravaged by hepatitis A,…


5….workers in California earn 11 percent more than their counterparts nationally. But that amount is not enough to make up for mortgage payments and rents that are 44 percent and 37 percent higher (respectively) than the national average.

6.Environmentalism is used to justify de facto racial segregation in California’s housing. Environmental lawsuits are a major reason for longer delays and higher costs of new housing. “The core legal structure of CEQA,” notes housing attorney Jennifer Hernandez, “protects the existing characteristics of those neighborhoods and thus perpetuates land use practices founded in race and class discrimination.”


7. Consider:

· In the name of helping the poor and protecting the environment, California has placed myriad restrictions and fees on building new housing units, driving up their price;

· Progressive local governments like San Francisco and Santa Monica block even those housing projects that comply with zoning laws progressives had agreed to;

8. Progressive leaders who daily denounce Republicans as racist have blithely presided over a significant decline in the academic performance of black and Latino eighth graders relative to their counterparts in other states. Today, less than 40 percent of non-white and non-Asian students meet state educational standards… When the cost of living is taken into account, California spends less on K-12 education than all but four other states.

9. A decade-long reform effort in Washington, D.C. showed that student performance can be improved significantly by rewarding teachers for performance and replacing underperforming teachers.
But California has rejected similar reforms. Progressives won’t even allow delaying teacher tenure from two to three years to ensure high-quality teachers.” Number One in Poverty, California Isn't Our Most Progressive State -- It's Our Most Racist One




How about changing the name of the state from California, to ‘Hypocricia’?

Or, should the name be reserved for the entire Democrat Party????

This is a Win-Win!!!!
Those of us who recognize that California is both an insane asylum, and the engine fueling Democrat political victory, have to applaud this dip into yet another attack on normal working folks!

More earners will move out, and increase the ratio of welfare-receiving illegal immigrants!

Go for it, California legislators!!!!

Dude...don’t say “yes” like you had it right. Once again you illustrated your illiteracy. General and comprehensive don’t even remotely mean the same thing.

And you wonder why nobody takes the left seriously about anything.

"California Considering Tax On Breathing

SACRAMENTO, CA—The California legislature unveiled plans last week for a new tax on the privilege of breathing.


The "Check Your Oxygen Privilege Act" will be voted on later this week. If passed into law, Californians will pay a progressive tax on inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide, with wealthier residents paying as much as 40% of their income for every breath they take. The poorest tax bracket may receive a subsidy for their breaths under the new model.

"Once again, California is at the forefront of progress," Jerry Brown said in a press conference Monday. "We've talked about taxing text messages, vehicle mileage, sneezing, sleeping, and your very existence, and this was the logical next step." The government has reportedly developed special breathing meters to help implement the bill, should it pass. Californians will be forced to purchase the meters from the state and wear them at all times to ensure accurate measurement of the amount of air they're using.

At publishing time, California had unveiled a tax on taxes, charging residents a luxury tax for the privilege of being taxed."

Companies and people are fleeing the progressive shit-hole state of California...

A report last week showed that nearly 2,000 companies left California in 2016, with most of them moving to Texas.

Idiotic left-wing policy has resulted in California closely resembling a 3rd world country.

"California’s Rendezvous with Reality
Years of lax policies and overspending are finally catching up to the Golden State.


California’s 40 million residents depend on less than 1 percent of the state’s taxpayers to pay nearly half of the state income tax, which for California’s highest tier of earners tops out at the nation’s highest rate of 13.3 percent.

In other words, California cannot afford to lose even a few thousand of its wealthiest individual taxpayers.

If even a few thousand of the state’s 1 percent flee to nearby no-tax states such as Nevada or Texas, California could face a devastating shortfall in annual income.

...the health, educational, and legal costs associated with massive illegal immigration are squeezing the budget. About a third of the California budget goes to the state’s Medicare program, Medi-Cal. Half the state’s births are funded by Medi-Cal, and in nearly a third of those state-funded births, the mother is an undocumented immigrant.

California is facing a perfect storm of homelessness.
California’s progressive government seems clueless how to deal with these issues,..."

If you don't believe the terms 'genius' and 'paragon' apply to me, you won't reply to this post.



Let's see.

I believe you want others to believe you are a "genius" and I believe you are a "paragon" of a narcissist. To be clear, I don't believe you are a genius, and I do believe you're a paragon, that is, a perfect example of a narcissist.

I have to admit, she sure has you on a chain. You have been dancing to her tune for a dozen posts now. Regardless of your opinion, the facts are, she's got you like a fish on a hook. Seems rather genius to me.

LOL, It is me who has her number, and can get her every time. Each time I post, she(?) has the exact same response, an ad hominem. If you believe calling someone stupid, dumb, a clown, etc is an argument, and a winning one ...it is not.

Please... I wish I had her number. My kind of woman. Yanking you people around by the mouth. She's my type of girl.

I'm sure you could find a dominatrix, for a fee.

"The California Dream Is In Nevada: Golden State Expats Flock To Las Vegas Suburb
It's no secret that California residents, particularly people residing in the most expensive parts of the state (SoCal, the Bay Area) are fleeing in droves, displaced by expensive rents, sky-high home prices, unbearable traffic congestion and - oh yeah - increasingly deadly wildfires. As a result, California expat communities have sprung up in Texas, Arizona, Idaho and Nevada, sun-belt states where residents can enjoy many of the benefits of California living (namely, the agreeable climate and booming economy) without the downsides.

As the Wall Street Journal reported, Henderson has become a place where California expats can enjoy a better standard of living (and even have some money left over after paying their mortgage) while spending less time sitting in SoCal's notoriously brutal traffic.

...taxes and insanely high utilities prices (which, thanks to PG&E's bankruptcy, might climb for some residents). One Cali expat who spoke to WSJ says he saved $5,000 on his water bill alone in a year.

Net migration out of California topped 100,000 in 2015, 2016 and 2017, according to the Census Bureau. And between 2006 and 2017, a total of 1.24 million Californians left the state, never to return, the third highest total in the country, behind only New York and Illinois. That should hardly come as a surprise in a state where buying a home is only affordable for 28% of the population, as the median home prices nearly doubled between 2012 and 2018. As more residents struggle to get away, new births and immigrants from abroad (including plenty of illegal aliens) are the only reason California's population has continued to expand."
