The communist regimes in Russia, Cuba and the China have no place in America. Ronald Reagan said this when he was governor of California right before he sent the national guard in to Berkley to Crack some skulls and get that under control.
I believe the education system has failed us miserably. Students, perhaps dont learn of the atrocities committed by the communists. Thousands of Americans died fighting communism.
This is not the first time I have heard people from Russia, uba or China talk about the similarities of those communist regimes and California. These are scary times we live in. Makes me nervous living in California and having just retired. I love California. I have traveled all over the world and there is no better place to live than whete we are at.
I fear these so called demoncrat socialists have no idea that in a communist country, everyone works. There is no welfare. If you don't work, you go to a camp, where they put you to work until you die. Even a communist will yell you that the free things and money run out extremely fast. So all these antifa and other leeches on society would be eliminated very quickly. They are the useful idiots. The blood bath and ensuing civil war would be as destructive as can be.
Super sad times. My belief is the control of the education system needs to be fixed, now, because this is spreading. Paul Revere, Ben Franklin, John Adam's, Washington and all the founders of this great nation are rolling in their graves.
You hit on the nail on the head my friend, California went down hill when the democrats were elected, even worse when stinking Newscum was elected in 2019, the influence from Soros family helped that crook stay in the governors chair, California isn't going to get any better if these commies keep voting them in! I used to live in that beautiful state, I want to move back, but it's not affordable for a senior on a fixed income, good luck to all the non- California commies!
I remember when I went to a private college back in the 90's they were going over the Quran, cultural awareness and little to no American history. I was told they wanted us to be "well rounded". So the brain washing of our colleges has been going on for at least three decades. Well fortunately I went to high school way back in the day when you said the pledge of allegiance, had an "American" flag in your classroom and were taught American history.
Right on James! They are coming to take it all otherwise. The ones with the $B’s are only first. Taxation without representation is alive and well here for sure. What will they do when everyone with a 401K leaves?
Oh Jim, how can you state taxation without representation? They said they are for the people. Then as the camel's nose under the tent they clearly state they represent the minority and are more then willing to take your money. 401K ??? You just have temporary claim. Good Comment
A successful businessman who is clear about his past "Sergey Brin’s early Soviet years left a bitter taste of socialism’s real-world failures. “I fled socialism with my family in 1979 and know the devastating, oppressive society it created in the Soviet Union.” He told The New York Times, “I don’t want California to end up in the same place.”
Should the above quote concern everyone in Calif.? Of course.
Putin has in place the same and growing dictatorship with Xi in China. They are the prefect example why anyone wanting freedom in California.
"Prop 40 does park the take outside Gann and doesn’t require an audit. If 41 passes with more Yes votes than 40, 40 is gone."
"Prop 42 forbids a new state tax on simply owning personal property, stocks, businesses, savings, intellectual property, and forbids a tax that is retrospective. Prop 40 does both. If 42 passes with more Yes votes than 40, 40 loses again"
If you don't get retrospective it means the Socialists and Communists cannot turn around and state "We want your money and will take it. Don't like it too bad."
Look at what Gov. Brown the kid did. He started this slide to destruction and taking of property / wealth when ever the Democrats want it. RHNA? Don't like it too bad. the Dem's jam it down your throat. Weiner says public transit is irrevocably broken and then votes to force you into bus, trains, and such.
The examples have been multiplying at an explosive rate in the past 3 years. Have you had enough? I would hope so. The entire state cannot continue to suffer a Gov. and Party that supports the DSA statements about Communism and radical Socialism. They want restrictions on you but dining at the French Laundry is just fine.
I have lots of good friends that are Berkely Graduates. Most are very liberal Democrats of course. I've also heard that if you go against the opinions of your ultra liberal professors, you fail the class. I do my best to represent my opinions against supporting the foolish socialist democratic agendas (Newscum, Mandami) such as increased government spending, open borders, outdated laws that protect criminals, birthright citizenship and the list goes on. I think TDS has affected their rational thinking.
Sorry, but I am for entrepreneurship, and think personal wealth should not be taxed. Instead the State should be encouraging more enterprise and attract the uber creative at all levels.. The continual over reach by our State is what the problem is...you know, wealth creation is the heart of most business creators...the consequence is companies of value and employment opportunities. 99% of Ca business are "small," but enterprise is high. Butt out, fix the highways, support research at the university level and create an opportunity zone for the future. California needs jobs more than it needs a wealth tax. Just a thought.
Thank you for the information, discussion, and guidance provided by this article which the mainstream media does not provide. The pros and cons of Props 40, 41, and 42 are clear. What I would like to see, however, is a prohibition of the Democrat practice of slipping language into propositions which give the legislature power to make laws beyond the scope of the proposition. Berney
I wish you would explain these problems for those of us who are elderly, or don't keep up with the details of our government, or don't understand the full meaning of your commentary - like me, with all three problems. I first became interested in poltics in the 1940s, which gives you a clue of how old I am, but also I've no longer been able to keep up with the meanig of so many governmental actions, only know they are NOT WORKING to our benefit.
Passage of these bills is a slippery slope. They will slide their grubby hands into the pockets of every American. They are sneaky and stealthy. They have to be stopped.
40 will pass - 41 & 42 - kaput. How do I know? By referring to a favorite expression politicians use:
"The voters aren't stupid"
Unblievable! If it took brains to breathe the average chump on the street would drop dead. Look at the mess California is in, and voters keep voting in Newsome and the rest of the Commie-Dems.
Gracias James good sir. Always welcome guidance. BTW, speaking of silver bullets, my Minnesota high-school girlfriend's uncle was Clayton Moore... the TV actor "Lone Ranger"... Clayton wasn't allowed to wear the mask outside of the show... based on copyright stuff... so he wore huge sunglasses in private life. He lived in a trailer home that he pulled behind his car. Weird dude. John

Every week the current Sacramento (leadership), comes up with another proposition or solution to California money problems.
"THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY IN ALL OF AMERICA'S BANKS TO MAKE THE DEMOCRATS HAPPY."
Take away all of the credit cards and check books in Sacramento, and let the aristocratic-bureaucrats pay their bills with their own, personal money.
The "tax and spend" has to stop, right now, before another year goes by.

Thank you for explaining that if all three props pass we still have a chance at crippling the communist Newsom regime.

Yes, and Amen. Let's cut these Commies off at the pass!

I hear that the men running for Governor in California both say to vote NO on prop 40 and 41. Why do they want this to pass?
I would vote Yes
