Because California is not deep enough in the hole as it is.
I’m in Texas now, a lot of things I miss about California but the liberals is not one of them.
Run like pension scandal or VA? The best thing to fix the system is to fire all those politicians who create the problem. I will be all for it.
Can you imagine how interested your new unionized doctor will be in your case or your precious child's?
Yes.
Yes, because they did so well with electricity rates.
A Colorado single-payer referendum was just defeated 4-1 last November as it would (among other things) have increased the Colorado income tax rate from 4.63% to an effective 14.63% rate.
Vermont tried mightily to adopt single-payer but gave up when the numbers showed it was impossible to levy big enough tax rate increases on this small population state to pay for it.
So, I say to California, why not! Go for it! Other states would love to have your remaining industries and your college educated workers.
Are they going to contact former governor Romney to set it up?
Yes, let’s provide the last coffin nails for the once great California.
I was also hoping Vermont would do it. It’s too bad they chickened out and canceled it before if even got started.
The worst display I can recall was during and after the start of the Greater Depression in 2007/2008, when the government was bailing out financial institutions and preventing them from giving taxpayer money to executives as bonuses. The governor of NY and mayor of NYC both insisted the bonuses be paid anyway, because both were dependent on the income taxes on those bonuses (NYC has a personal income tax).
The morality involved meant nothing to them.
We’re in East Tennessee now and miss absolutely nothing about California!
California welfare state, I hear the sucking from here
Venezuela on the Pacific.
I believe it.
By Article IV Sec 4, this may be un-Constitutional.
I have trouble seeing Trump allowing the taxpayers to foot the bill for Kaliforina’s debacles as they do everything they can to try to thwart him - I picture him coming on TV and pointing out how Obama Care is a disaster and Kalifornia just proved how bad it really is.
