Under Proposition 13, a 2/3s vote is required to pass a tax increase in the CA legislature. Now for the 2nd time in recent memory Democrats have the 2/3s required to pass any tax increase they want. I believe the last time they had this power they increased gas taxes and imposed a carbon tax. As HL Mencken stated, " Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." I am glad I got out of CA.

I hope they tax all income at 100%. That’s the only way to be fair.

The chickens coming home to roost from Republican squeamishness about stopping illegal immigration.
Now the foreign looter class will go mad, sucking the life out of the host until they move on to the next victim, unable to create and maintain anything on their own.

We have so many Illegal Alien Voters in California that it is not funny any more.
We need to freeze legal immigration and we need a Southern Border Wall so bad right now.

California is liberal Paradise.
Utopia right over there, where you can be utterly ruled against your will, and there is f*** all you can do about it.
OMG we should all move there right now, every last one of us.

I think a lot of out of stagers dont realize that Jerry Brown has actually moderated by veto some of the wackier impulses of the Legislature. Incoming Gavin Newsom is unlikely to be that. So the headline is misleading. Veto, schmeto . Tax increases is whats being given free reign here

With economy doing well, it seems a good time for the few remaining California Conservatives to sell out and move to a state where their vote counts.

Why ever would the Dems NEED a veto-proof majority???

I am glad I got out of CA. My in-laws fled Thousand Oaks this Spring. 1200 sq foot home sold for 800,000.00 after listing at 750k in 2 days.
Moved to CDA, ID.
I asked them why they left beautiful CA, a land where both of their GRANDPARENTS were born (family arrived during gold rush and post civil war)?
His reply, "I can see the writing on the wall. We're a gonner. Better get out while I still can".
After they settled in in CDA, ID, we counted over 1000 years in a CA prison for his gun collection and magazines.
Also, he was in real estate and knew exactly when to sell. Now his home is worth 650k (that was before the fire) 2000 yards east of him.

So now Kalifornia can go over the cliff at full speed, and when they crash and burn, they will look to the Federal government (and you and me) to bail them out.

The j@ck@ss voters who keep electing extremist leftist Rats to office are reaping what they have sown, and they will reap even more. California is truly doomed.
My advice to any Republican trapped in this horrible state is to get out while you can!! This state will continue to circle the toilet bowl. You don’t have to live in such a sh*tty state, there are other nice states to live in.

Attention all Californians: DON NOT COME TO TEXAS when you are taxed into poverty. You will not like it here one bit. Texas is ALL desert...no grass anywhere. The weather is horrible...-30 in the winter and 120 in the summer. There are rats and vicious dogs all over the place and big jumping cactus around every corner. In addition to that, there are diamond back rattle snakes that hide behind bushes in order to get a better strike position...
..so stay away from Texas...you have screwed up California & we don't want you to experience the same thing here...just looking out for your welfare....STAY OUT OF TEXAS...
