[AirPo]

Bill Clinton makes that in mere hours.

So he gets to eat lunch every day.

Hey, if that's what the market will bear. Don't you like free enterprise?

 

[NightHawkeye]

I do.

Isn't it great when your so-called free-enterprise allows public unions (via forced contributions) and tyrannical leaders worldwide to contribute vast sums of money to the likes of Bill and Hillary?

 

[Belk]

You'll get no argument from me on that...just pointing out it hasn't happened....yet. It'll be to their own detriment if they do. That whole left coast is a cesspool of ignorance.......

Yes. Those ignorant coasties and their booming economies and high quality of living.

We're kinda getting off topic. But you know, contributions aren't free enterprise. They're free speech. Or so sayeth Tony Kennedy in Citizens United. Would you support the Udall Amendment?

Thread title misleading.

According to the link:
"This bill has to be approved by two-thirds majorities in both houses of the California state legislature. If that happens, then the measure goes before the voters for final approval."
​

Misleading titles, is par fornthe course.

Which areas of the country are cesspools, are a matter of personal preferrance. Good news is, you dont have to live in california.

No, the good news is, I would never want or need to.

What's incredible to me is how precisely those who claim to "love America" the most are also those quickest to write off large segments of the country as "cesspools".

Some folks need to create an enemy.

Personally, you are not impacted by what california decides to do. That should make you happy.

 

[GeorgeJ]

Yes. Those ignorant coasties and their booming economies and high quality of living.

California's Boom Is Poised To Go Bust -- And Liberals' Dream Of Scandinavia On The Pacific

I've been hearing this same refrain since the early 90s. (yawn)

California's Boom Is Poised To Go Bust -- And Liberals' Dream Of Scandinavia On The Pacific

Yes. And the $15 an hour minimum wage in Seattle is going to destroy our economy. Excuse me while I go out to lunch in our booming retail scene with happy high paid workers.

 

[JohnHarthover]

So people who don't need additional wealth that much will pay a small amount to generate a skilled workforce for the future?

 

[Rion]

Yes. Those ignorant coasties and their booming economies and high quality of living.

You're assuming that things will remain as they are:

You are aware there is more to the coast then California, yes?


That said, yes the pension issue is a problem. But it is not insurmountable and it does not change the econom ic realities that the costal states are doing well.

 

[NightHawkeye]

Absolutely not.

Get back to me when someone wants to redistribute the money of the liberal news media outlets which currently primarily propagandize for just one of the political parties.

True, but they are all facing their own issues. I believe Washington State, for example, is suffering from overfishing. It'll be interesting.

 

[Belk]

Oh we are indeed facing our own unique issues. All fishing is suffering from over use. We are also facing problems with meth and downtown cores that are to expensive for people to live in coupled with poor mass transportation.


But we are not blighted hellscapes due to liberal policies.
