California Dreamin' Turns Into a Nightmare

Originally posted at: 2BucksWorth.com

The voters of California yesterday turned down a budget initiative full of tax hikes and borrowing put forth by Democrats in the state legislature and their RINO governorator. Apparently, those silly Californians didn't get the memo about people wanting bigger government from that other famous RINO, Colin Powell.

Now there's even talk of the rest of the country having to bail our most populous state, a state with an economy the size of the UK. So the rest of us will get to pay for California's irresponsibility? That sounds familiar.

Not that theses point haven't been brought up before, but some things come into my mind about this Cali mess:

1. Don't they have enough rich liberals in California to pay for all of these programs they can't afford? Why don't they do what Joe Biden calls their "patriotic duty" and pay more taxes voluntarily?

2. When people are leaving California in droves, did they really think more taxes was the answer? Hint: It's the taxpayers that are leaving, not the people you're spending it on.

There's a reason why we don't all live on what might be the most beautiful stretch of land on the planet, some of us can't afford it. Apparently now, neither can Californians.
