Governor Moonbeam should start practicing what he preaches, before lecturing the rest of us. Also, socialism clearly isn't working, it's actually made California MORE unequal (which always seems to happen, think Venezuela).
Socialism in theory has its attractive aspects. Socialism in practice doesn’t - it usually is merely a dictatorship, crudely cloaked in Orwellian egalitarian vocabulary. In short, it mostly doesn’t work well in the real world.
There’s just one problem: it’s not working.
I strongly disagree,it is working as intended and planned. They have successfully created a State full of dependent voters happily living in poverty.
The poor want and need the benefits, the rich want and need the cheap labor. The Middle class, well someone has to be sacrificed.
Too many wealthy immigrant-exploiting limousine liberals here.
Mexico sends most of their lowest of the low here, keeps out the poor people from the nations to their South, so of course California, which has now built a SOCIALIST WELFARE STATE and wide open borders, IS FLOODED with the dregs of society, from all over. And in the run up to today, they have driven out great swaths of those in the middle classes.
“Make America Mexico Again!” (MAMA?!)
Mexifornia is the future of America unless we just say NO! to amnesty.
Moonbeam should just take everybody’s money over 5 mil and give it to the poor.
That will make for quite the utopia.
There are a few thousand people in California who pay more than 90% of the state income tax. When a thousand or more of them leave California the house of cards will collapse.
Not unrelated, I hear the new Governor of NJ is looking to make the Garden State another California.
Lofty goals, eh?
That’s what happens when you turn your state into a third- world toilet modeled after Mexico.
The real problem is Californians are a disease on the rest of the country. If you see them in your city, think Zombies. Stop them anyway you can.
California - just another Democrat s**t hole.
In 1976, Viet Nam refugees were gainfully employed doing well at a Cheese Factory in Bogue, Kansas. They got phone calls from California that said Mr. Welfare was paying them money to go to school, learn English and paying their rent. They LEFT for a better social benefit that California offered. The Cheese plant in Bogue, Kansas closed.
Don’t worry, with the new Tax Bill’s limit on SALT Deductions, a whole bunch of Liberal Millionaires and Billionaires will head to Nevada.
That should lessen the income divide. LOL
Why don’t the Hollywood millionaires spread their wealth?
Well, they did take that out of the hands of the Republicans, there's that. This is that sweet time in the progress of a society toward universal socialism that the revolutionaries, having captured the government, set out to plunder the hell out of anyone stupid enough to remain. And just look at all that lovely money in those oceanside villas in Malibu! In those Hollywood mansions! It really isn't anything that a 100% tax on incomes over, say, $50,000 a year couldn't take care of. George Clooney and Barbra Streisand will love you for it, folks! Eat the rich!
“Governor Moonbeam should start practicing what he preaches”
Not only him, but also, all of the Hollyweird billionaires. They should open their mansions and estates to the illegals they love and give them all a “living wage.”
