Jerry Brown: California Taxpayers are ‘Freeloaders
Breitbart ^ | May 17, 2017 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 05/19/2017 12:13:28 PM PDT by lowbridge

California Governor Jerry Brown referred to taxpayers as “freeloaders” last week for objecting to his new gas tax and car fee hikes.

“The freeloaders — I’ve had enough of them … They have a president that doesn’t tell the truth and they’re following suit,” he said. Brown was speaking in Orange County, defending State Assembly newcomer Josh Newman (D-Fullerton), who is facing a recall effort after voting for Brown’s new transportation taxes in April.

The new tax raises existing gas taxes — already among the highest in the nation — by 12 cents per gallon, with higher taxes on diesel, and slaps car owners with higher annual registration fees. Critics have pointed out that the burden of the tax falls most heavily on middle-class Californians.

In any other state when a politician starts calling the taxpayers/voters names he is motivating opposition to his re-election. Mrs Bill didn’t understand that, either.

...says the guy who has never held a real job outside of being a government parasite. His phony gig as a radio “commentator” was a bust.

Gov. Jerry Brown is term-limited in 2018. He can’t run again for governor, but he will be a 2020 presidential contender.

Jerry Brown and the Clintons don’t get along, he barely endorsed her in 2016.

Brown vs. Hillary vs. Sanders in 2020.

That’s what you want, a governor who loves his citizens more than their money!

Considering the disturbingly significant slice of my paycheck that comes out, I’ve never felt like a freeloader.

He’s going to run for President at 82?

That should be interesting.

Jerry Brown and his Demonicrats are the ‘floaters’ the voters of California excreted into the political cesspool in which Californians swim.

I think Brown wanted to run for president in 2016...but the DNC cleared the field for Hillary.

If an 82 year-old white male can win the Dem prezzy-nom I’ll eat one of my many hats.

2020 is a good time for him to run for president. Either Trump will be riding a wave of success or he will be a failure. If it is success then 2020 is a good time to dispose of Jerry Moonstruck. If DJT is a failure then it doesn’t matter a bit who runs in either party because the party is over.

The taxpayers are freeloaders?

What does that make the deadbeat unemployable punks that voted for this idiot?

That’s the American way. I have 5 rentals. There are 7 cars total at those rentals owned by my tenants.

6 of them are newer than either of our cars. The exception is the 68 year-old widow who went bankrupt when her husband was dying of cancer.

Not to worry there Mr. Moonbeam. Those Freeloaders will soon be leaving in droves and all you’ll have left are illegals and rapeugees.
