Dystopia
California Governor Gaptooth might not attend the Republican Convention? He has other issues to consider…one of them the anorexic Missus; another is California’s $15.2 billion budget gap.
Then, there’s this! Five will get you ten there are enough screwballs in that state to validate the initiative. The one-time 55% wealth tax seems like a good idea, chiefly because it will hit the Rodeo Drive crowd really hard. Streisand might have to come out of retirement…again.

The leaving tax is an especially nice touch. Leave it to liberals to try and vacuum the last cents out of your pockets as you’re heading for the door.
I can see the progs trying this crap in places like Maine, Vermont, Massaholechusetts, etc. After all it has everything they like in a tax plan: insane economic premises, a virulent mean-spirited attitude towards those deemed “wealthy”, and the financial equivalent of the East German Border, complete with machine guns, attack dogs and jackbooted tax thugs.
Is it time to shoot the bastards yet???
Who cares if he goes. He’s not a Republican anyway.
He’s also not a thinker. Ambitious, yes, but still a musclehead.
Real property is trapped only if it is held in a person’s name. Watch how many incorporations occur, converting that property into stock which is then held outside the state. Once that is accomplished, cash leaks out, then the person moves.
After arriving elsewhere, one removes the capital from the corp. pledging the property as collateral, then bankrupts it giving the lender title. Let the state collect that!
One must remember, the banking system is private and NOT socialist. Even with today’s mortgage meltdown, housing deflation and foreclosures, their not losing money, the taxpayers are backing them up. Perhaps you have heard, when the banks have too many foreclosed houses in one area, they are not taking title to them; they are walking away leaving the towns stuck for the taxes, maintenance, eyesore value and overall depreciation of the town’s tax rateables. Tell me again, who is the town?
Nationalize the banks? That’s never worked, unless you consider the Soviet Union a glorious success story. Zimbabwe, there’s a glowing example.
All true. That’s why the “activists” eventually take the stubborn down cellars and shoot them. They’re prepared to escalate. Haven’t we learned this yet?
