It’s tempting to be angry at Democrat voters for the way they vote. They’ve turned a recession into a depression… they’ve taken the greatest healthcare system on earth and put it in grave jeopardy of collapse… they’ve nationalized banks and car companies.

California took in a record $11.3 billion in personal income tax receipts in April, $4.3 billion more than it collected last April. It's almost certain that a significant chunk of April's haul came from Google employees -- perhaps one-eighth or more of the tax receipt gain. The fact that a single high-flying Silicon Valley company is giving such a big boost to the state treasury can be determined by examining insider stock trading information filed...
