California financial crisis - Time for a new system?
#3
Very sad indeed.

But in thinking about the situation, some points come to mind-
It looks as though California voters are finally to the point where they are hunkering down and are unwilling to provide yet more tax dollars to the government even if the money is to help the needy. They are afraid of their own financial situation in this depression- they are fearful of how they will keep what they have and how their children will survive in the future. And when they see billions and billions going out to maintain our perpetual war on “terror” and the war on (people who choose to use) drugs, and millions of dollars worth of of tax funded freebees going to other countries, and even more millions needed in California to feed, school and give health care to non-citizens, I can understand their reticence to dig even deeper.

Maybe they are just done. Maybe it’s finally come to the every-man-for-himself attitude that the sculptors of the NWO have long been trying to create. Maybe California is the canary in the mine telling us what is going to happen next to the rest of us.

The typical U.S. 30% to 40% taxation of the working man (woman) may not sound like too much to our European friends, but the issue is what do you get for the price. If I live in a country that taxes me at 50% or above but isn't involved in global economic, military and societal domination, isn't spending billions a month on idiotic wars, and for that taxation I get decent health care, a pension, decent housing and reasonable employment conditions, I might be OK with it and willing to contribute a little more for the poor and downtrodden. But in the U.S. we are taxed at a slightly lower rate but get absolutely nothing for it except the chance to sink or swim.

I don't necessarily agree with what the Terminator is doing, but I can understand the constraints under which he is operating. It's gonna be pretty rough for Californians in the near future.

I used to be one. Glad I'm gone.
