Liberal Democrats have literally been 'enabled' by four myopic special interest groups with lots of money.
1. The Hollywood crowd, with more money and media access than good sense.
2. The middle-aged former flower children and Woodstock pilgrims, who are now ruling fiefdoms in Sacramento.
3. The unbridled immigration advocates, who have successfully skewed the state's demographics on the road to Aztlan.
4. The homosexual activists, who defy reason with noise and money.
As Davis (and his successors) attempt to staunch the hemorrhage of their own making, it is both sadly just that the liberal enablers will reap what they have sown and tragic that tens of millions of Californians will suffer the consequences of abuse of power.
Here's the deal. California needs to use a meat cleaver, not a scalpel, on the budget. It won't.
· The inevitable result will be a growing need for more and more money from taxpayers.
· Middle-class Californians and small businesses that had resisted the obvious imperative WILL begin a migration to more friendly and reasonable states (Nevada, Oregon, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, even Washington).
· California will suffer a reduction in the tax base when it most needs it.
· California will become a marginalized state with two classes of citizens … the very rich and the very poor.
· California will continue to require massive amounts of money, and guess what? They won't be able to extract it from the very poor, so the Mandarin class will be expected to pick up the slack.
· NOTE: This Mandarin class is composed of the very same enablers who allowed California to tax and spend the state into fiscal insolvency.
· HOWEVER, the very rich (in L.A., the Bay Area and San Diego) won't subsidize the product of their own actions. Rather, they too will move their prime residence (tax address) to Lake Tahoe, Oregon or Mexico. They will continue to 'live, work and play' in California … they just won't support the tax base.
Despite his abysmal job performance, Gov. Davis has the stones to include in his suggestions for the Legislature to restore the governor's power to make budget changes midyear without lawmakers' approval.
END OF EXERPT
What do you wager that, not unlike New York City, they are going to demand that Congress have the rest of the nation pony up to help them with new taxes to save California and thus save the U.S. Economy....
