Is’nt there any sort of business minded person that can somehow create some revenue in this great state without taxing the people to the point they want to leave?
I mean seriously…raise taxes? is that the best you can do to solve the spending problem? How long did it take to come up with that one. Is that why we hired you for this job Jerry? To find the most obvious way in the world to raise money. Sorry bud…you fail. Go back to business school and learn something new before you present any more grand ideas.[/quote]
Yes, and here is the solution (to all of these problems):
2. Reduce the number of state/local gov’t workers through privatization
3. Make California a more business friendly state through deregulation – get rid of these BS boards (staffed with Sacramento political goons) that stand in the way of business development.
In other words, start deregulating.
4. Reduce taxes in the state, do not raise taxes
5. Severely curtail entitlement programs
6. Take away collective bargaining for public employee unions
7. Make the assembly part time and drastically reduce their per diem and benefits/salaries
California should declare bankruptcy if necessary to achieve these goals.
