I just got back from a well needed week vacation. I promised my wife I will leave all electronic devises home which we did. I come back home and catch up on some news and I read Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown thinks all tax paying Californians are "Freeloaders".
I laughed out loud and was wondering how many curse words was being yelled at your computer screen...... :lol:

Only a liberal would believe the people who provide the money for all the free s--t they give away freeloaders.
So let me see if I get this straight? Trump voters are the only ones paying taxes in Ca?
"The freeloaders — I've had enough of them," Brown said, adding that the approved tax and fee hikes bring those charges to the level they were 30 years ago if adjusted for inflation. "They have a president that doesn't tell the truth and they're following suit."
Can you say "Marxist Meltdown"?
The real truth is, the Marxists have spent our hard earned treasury on leftist pet projects, and with Brown's Bullet Toy Train set on the line, he has the audacity to blame the very people that keep the State running.
But here's the money quote.
"You want to borrow money and pay double? Or do nothing? Or take money from universities?"
Now, follow that with this article.
Janet Napolitano's UC hid $175 million while demanding money, audit says
The University of California hid a stash of $175 million in secret funds while its leaders requested more money from the state, an audit released on Tuesday said.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the audit found that the secret fund ballooned due to UC Office of the President overestimating how much is needed to run the school system that includes 10 campuses in the state. Janet Napolitano, the former Department of Homeland Security chief, is in charge of the school system.
Napolitano denied the audit's claim. She reportedly said the money was held for any unexpected expenses. Her office also denied the amount in the fund.
"The true amount is $38 million, which is roughly 10 percent of (the office's) operating and administrative budget, a prudent and reasonable amount for unexpected expenses such as cybersecurity threat response and emerging issues like increased support for undocumented students and efforts to prevent sexual violence and sexual harassment," her office said in a statement.
Elaine Howle, the state auditor who came up with the report, found that from 2012 to 2016 the office looked to raise more funding by inflating estimates. Howle also said that a top staff member in Napolitano's office improperly screened confidential surveys that were sent to each campus. Howle said answers that were critical of Napolitano's office were deleted or changed before being sent to auditors.
"I've never had a situation like that in my 17 years as state auditor," Howle said. "My attorneys are looking at whether any improper government activities occurred."
The UC Board of Regents is now hearing calls to overturn its decision to increase tuition this fall by 2.5 percent.

The tragedy here is that California can't afford to warehouse all its crazies. Think of the jobs if they could!

Here is another example of liberal idiocy. Warren says someone has to pay for the government's spending in the article.

"Bob" $500. For What Is A Budget? :lol:
Constitution, what's that? And yes, Ca has one as well, and it prohibits over spending, but neither party wants to address it.
At some point California is going to hit a wall. They will eventually get to a point where they have squeezed every penny they can out of the people. Their only recourse will be to hammer the wealthy who have the means to leave. Then what? The state collapses or they finally give the leftists the boot.

Okay, so after the rich leave, there is still the problem of maintaining the physical objects like highways, bridges, and so on. Who pays taxes out there, anyway? Freeloaders?
The social net will sustain the true parasites only so long before the state must downgrade services. If the feds tightened California's belt, we would all breathe easier. Especially the other states paying for their often-moronic excesses.

Yep, and that's why Moonbeam is so angry, the tax base is disappearing due to those of wealth and the ability to work are leaving in droves.
People like me who no longer contribute even buy out of state to avoid sales tax.
This is why he wants to nail us for a fuel tax, there's no one left to squeeze.

But Idaho knows who it is and has no interest in giving up its Constitution.

Here is some more insanity from the state of CA. It is a good way to run insurers out of a state.
I worked in the insurance industry for forty-five years and have pretty good idea about pricing of the product. Personal auto is a very competitive business and computers have allowed insurers to become quite sophisticated in the pricing arena. What this issue is all about is that certain zip codes have worse loss experience than other zip codes. Consequently, pricing reflects that loss experience. There is nothing about discrimination to the inhabitants of those zip codes. It is as Sgt Friday said, "Just the facts Mam!".

This has been going on since they wrote the law stating everyone must but insurance. I remember buying insurance when I moved out of the Capitol and discovered my rates fell, I inquired as to why, and he said the area I used to live in was a high crime area, that if I wanted even cheaper rates, move to the mountains.
I did, but not for the insurance. :biggrin:
I just assumed this was standard practice all across the country?

It has been used for years throughout the US. However, leftists in lib states have always fought zip code pricing. They can't argue the facts so they play the race card.

It's been a standard practice for a long time.
It's called "redlining."
There was an episode of All In The Family about this.
Archie Bunker had to pay a higher price for his insurance
because he was in a "high risk" neighborhood,
but the black guy across the street got a lower rate,
because he was in a "low risk" neighborhood.

Hell, do we ever have the freaks. They are locked up in Travis county, home of our capitol, where the motto is " Keep Austin weird" and they have accomplished that in droves. Freaks are the norm there now, they put up memorials to freaks, freaks are on the city council, freaks run the government programs.............it goes on and on. Yet the main reason people are moving away, TAXES are too high.
