California has finally done it—they’ve taken “tax and spend” to a whole new level. It’s like a bad joke that never ends. If you work hard, save money, or actually try to run a business, Sacramento’s politicians see you as nothing more than a walking, talking ATM. They chase every last productive person out of the state, then act surprised when the lights start going out.
The folks in charge—starting with Gavin Newsom, whose financial messes make you wonder what’s really going on—don’t seem to care about basic incentives. You build a business? They’ll tax it. You try to keep it running? Here come the regulations. And if you somehow survive their red tape, well, maybe they’ll offer subsidies—if you play the right political games. But if you just want to work hard and mind your own business, forget it. California’s government doesn’t want you—they want your money and nothing else.
It’s no mystery why so many people with ambition are leaving California in droves. Productive people—the ones who actually create jobs and make America great—are packing up and heading for saner pastures. All that’s left behind are ivory tower elites and those living off the handouts. The dreamers, doers, and builders are getting out while they still can.
It’s the same old liberal disaster. They talk about caring for the working class but punish anyone who actually works. They promise prosperity but deliver more taxes, more regulations, and endless government interference. The only thing growing faster than California’s tax code is the size of its government. And somehow, globalist interests and anti-American busybodies in Sacramento think this is progress.
When will California learn? If you keep taxing the people who make things happen, pretty soon there won’t be anyone left to pay the bills. Maybe the last productive person out should not just turn off the lights, but lock the door behind them—for good.
