I like to call my beautiful home state of California the great Democrat
experiment. Every top government office in the state is held by a Democrat,
and the legislature is overwhelmingly Democrat. Gray Davis took office in
1998 to a huge budget surplus, then proceeded to indiscriminately spend to
his hearts content. We now face a 34 billion dollar deficit, and state
Democrats are going back to their age old play book, raise taxes. Ever
wonder why so many jobs are leaving California and the US? Just take a look
at some of the 80+ new tax proposals totaling $60.8 billion. Did anyone else
notice that car registration fees are to be tripled?

Really scary thing is that Davis has white house ambitions, but his approval
numbers sit around those of OJ Simpson. I really love this state, but I wish
our state motto “Eureka” didn’t mean, “I found my way into your wallet”.  I
am also glad these clowns aren’t running the federal economy.
