Oh...That's bad right?? Could it be the Governor who is blind to our tax problem or the dummy Dems in the legislature. Both you say!!
California and New York have the worst tax climates in the U.S.? I have an idea, let’s elect ueber-liberals for governor in each state this year.

They will lose their status when Dayton becomes governor of Minnesota.

If our politicians could just figure a way to get enough of our money, they could solve all of our problems.
After arguing with liberals for many years about economics, I can tell you that they average liberal and the elite are brain dead when it comes to business.
They actually believe if you just tax and regulate enough, that will bring prosperity and “social justice.”
But they are too stupid to recognize that you can’t be a leech and bleed the host to death and still expect it to produce more blood.
You are so right. Liberals are convinced that in profit lies the solution to all their problems. Since profit is immoral (in their eyes), you can take it from a company to fund your social programs. Corporations can operate as they always do, providing jobs and products for the common good, at a break-even rate. Society then takes the proceeds. They cannot fathom that without profits, the whole point of the enterprise ceases to exist. Why would capital flow to a non-profit organization? Yet you hear this kind of thinking in every speech Obama delivers.
I note with interest that Alaska is No. 2 best climate. Another reason for the Dems to fear Sarah Palin.
paycheck confiscation bump for later.......
you aint seen nothing yet, just wait til Governor Shriver’s Global Warming Religion Law is implemented.
