97fan and Washingtonismoney, would you please take a look at the California budget and tell me how you\'re going to balance it without making large cuts in services?
Your answer, like the answer of most people in California these days, is to make "the rich" pay more. Â All empirical data show that the truly rich do not pay more. Â The ones who pay more are the people making $100k to $250k per year. Â These are the people who, given all of the places where you can live (like Colorado) at half the cost, you decide to move to. Â In many cases, people follow their employers, who also decide to move because the Dem legislature has just decided to impose a long list of new regulations on your business.
Some really bad times are coming for California (and I say this as somebody who grew up there and went to Stanford and still loves the place). Â You have been warned.
When will it start affecting public universities and their football programs? Â I am hoping the current trend of kal and UCLA being doormats continues. Â :)
