Which the oil companies will pass on to the consumers in the form of higher gasoline prices. This will help the poor how?
It’s from San Francisco-—it doesn’t have to make sense.
By forcing more of the middle class to move out, thereby creating more space for their relatives from south of the border to move in.
Unless they are stopped, we are heading toward a Guaranteed Annual Income, and confiscatory taxes for especially productive people. I imagine some folks (*cough* politicians *cough*) will have their Guaranteed Annual Income supplemented with a series of stipends and what-not. But they are clearly trying to push society toward a Great Leveling. This will, of course, kill a great deal of entrepreneurial spirit.
Wow. What and excellent opportunity to demagogue the Liberal elites in Hollywood. How much do Liberal Hollywood stars make per picture now? Is it still $20 million, or has inflation pushed it higher?
There are no poor in California. The only ones who will be "helped" is the state government. The only ones who will be hurt are the retired people living on fixed incomes.
Californa, get on the band wagon! Zero has now renamed Income Equality, it will be now known as “Ladder of Oppertunity”.
Yep. The left and sadly many in the GOP see helping the poor as giving them things. Wouldn’t that better path be helping them to get jobs? As productive members of society they help all of us. Most importantly they help themselves. How a man can be happy sitting around collecting a check from his neighbors is beyond me.
‘but it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to shove legislation through a gridlocked Congress’
Is the writer pretending that Obama won’t be writing Executive Orders for EVERYTHING he wants? And the resulting disasters will be blamed on the Republican ‘do nothing’ Congress??
Those Hollywood actors should all make minimum wage, just like everybody else in their commie dream.
I wonder if any Republican has the b@lls to mention to the MSM how much the “gap” has increased in the 5 years of the Baraqqi Regime?
So in California, "conservatives" are behind measures to raise the minimum wage. Why stop there? Why not $30 per hour? Any wonder why California is so screwed up?
Given that California is very dependent on income taxes from it’s wealthiest citizens, I would think that taking money from tax payers and giving it to people who don’t pay taxes is not a good business plan.
