    California is a Garden of Eden
    A Paradise to live in or see…
    But, believe,it or not
    You won’t think it’s so hot
    If you don’t have the Do-Re-Mi.

    ——Woody Guthrie , sometime around 1940

    Anyone want to wager that Calif. didn’t factor in another outward exodus of business and taxpayers into their revenue calculations? Kind of like last year when the state was factoring a huge windfall from the Facebook IPO. What slender straws we’re grasping at.

    You saw the illustration:

    Don’t come to California, it’ the PITS.

    Go to Texas. Pray for rain. Pray the gay away.

    If you’re in California, do not delay…. Leave while you can. You won’t regret it. Pack up today. Go.

    I knew that was coming. LOL!

    Colma, it’s a lost cause. The FSA virus is self-replicating.

    Just because Florida doesn’t have an income tax doesn’t mean we want all the fruits and nuts to migrate here! We’ve got a sufficient number of snow birds flying around to drive the natives nuts! I wish they’d just drop off their money and keep going South but, dammit, they stop too.

    I start driving the back roads after November 1st because they are all constipated and clog up every highway in sight. I like Florida Summers. Hot, muggy, buggy and mostly empty..

    Whether it’s a fat population, high rate of STDs or excessive tax rate, it turns out that every state ranks dead last in at least one unsavory category. Check out the map to see what your state is the worst at.

    I thought California would be worst in taxes.

    I visited California twice in my early thirties. In 1984, I traveled to San Diego and spent about a week there, and loved it. Special place or at least it was then. In 1985, I flew to Santa Barbara/Goleta (also work related) and I liked it there also. The lifestyle seemed so laid back, at least in those areas of the state. Good seafood, beaches, mountains and gorgeous women. I had no problems with flakes, fruits or nuts.

    Ok, I’m back and ready to rumble.

    —-underfire

    Bingo, underfire!!!! I read an article in the NY Times (which I read only at airports and on airplanes) today touting that the tax increase in California is expected to cut the deficit down from a projected $25 billion to only $1 billion for 2013 and that 2014 may actually show a surplus of $1 billion. LSD rules at the California State Budget Accounting Office.

    I’ll add to underfire’s question with another one. Who will make it first to the “state bailout” finish line? California or Illinois?

    SSS – apparently, the number of millionaires in Britain dropped by around 2/3 in the year following athe tax increase on millionaires in that country. Revenue plummetted by billions as the millionaires do what any sensible person does when faced by extortionist tax rates – they took their ball and went home, or they deferred earnings, or they moved to a different country.

    Imagine that – people objecting to paying ridiculously high taxes so that lazy, good for nothing free shitters can keep raking it in, and so teachers can keep the govt bent over.

    The world is screwed.

    Your chart showing that Arizona is number 1 in alcoholism is due to one primary factor. More Indians, aka Native Americans, live in Arizona than any other state. With rates of alcoholism approaching 60% in some tribes, including the huge Navajo Nation, one can understand why Arizona has this problem.

    Sad fact. It is illegal to sell liquor on the Navajo reservation, which encompasses the entire northeastern corner of Arizona. The liquor stores just across the border in New Mexico in places like Gallup have the largest volume of liquor sales in the entire state.

    I worked in California, primarily Sacramento, for a spell.

    People there are just rude. The women werent any prettier than here in Texas.

    They like to think they are friendly, They arent. Its alot like when I was in Minneapolis.

    The invisible person syndrome. An Evergreen dc-8 went down when I was in Sacramento. Godawful week that was. We had reporters swarming the area. We went to the bar to get a few drinks only to run into some of the stupidest assholes I have ever met seeking answers. One moron only wanted to blame unions for the crash [it was because of the cargo loading [weight and balance]] yet none of us were union nor were the cargo workers. We tried to explain how the weight and balance was so far off the CG but these fools were looking for a much bigger story that just didnt exist. Mechanical or pilot error…whatever.
