CA State Budget Passed – State’s demise imminent

I love this state. I am a Producer. For the first time I am actually thinking about leaving.

I have a friend who did just that… but still lives in CA (specifically, in SD). He’s basically a very high-priced consultant and works for himself. No wife, no kids. He incorporated his business in Nevada. His home in SD is held in his business’ name. His driver’s license and tags are from Texas, where his brother lives. His official residence and place of business for tax purposes are in Rosarito (in Baja), where’s he’s owned a home for years. He owns part of a business in Mexico and has an FM3 business visa which allows him to stay in Mexico indefinitely. So, he pays US federal taxes like everyone else, but as far as California is concerned – he doesn’t even exist. Kind of like Keyser Soze. If California ever did manage to figure out that he had some tie to the state, he’d just say that the SD residence, held in corporate name, is for infrequent visits and occasional business purposes – he “doesn’t live there.” He’s fluent in spanish, his doctor, dentist, etc. are all in Mexico, so he personally has almost no traceable ties to CA. And pays zero in CA income taxes, of course. It’s a pretty sweet scam.

So both the Dems and Repubs have sold us out to illegal immigrants. One doesn’t come down on big businesses who hire illegals and the other creates a class of dependents out of them and tries to give them licenses in exchange for votes. Yet another reason to vote third party for a term or two.

Why do you think people overlooking Moldanado’s open primary ballot so much? I personally think it’s because it’s a long term solution and foresight not in the American vocabulary.

I’m not sure how much of a difference it will make but I’m willing to give it a try. If nothing else it will piss both sides off. I agree that the Dems and Repubs, and don’t forget AM radio and NPR will do their best to shoot it down.

Actually the proposed budget is not a solution at all. How does one call it a solution at all with an 11B shortfall that needs to be financed? What happens next year? Another 11B loan? Do we get a loan every single year?

Unfortunately like our local government then state is insolvent. As painful as it would be, yes the state does need to declare bankruptcy.

Of course we will not do that, and if we did do that, no the current residents of our penitentaries would not be left free in the streets. What would happen? I have no clue because it would be uncharted waters.

What we all realize but nobody wants to post is that it is not a sustainable situation. Talk about simple math… The only way to even get close to sustainability will be taxes in form and function like New York, more likely even higher. The state is growing in overall population but it is losing quality wage earners and businesses. This is a simple fact not speculation.

Eventually it will happen.

Numbers can only be manipulated so long.
