This post is based on Red State Guy's earlier post "Where does Liberalism take us." In that comment Red State Guy focused on President Obama's detrimental decision regarding our Space Program. His post made me think about the state of affairs of my Liberal run State of California as an example of what Democrats/Liberals really do.
California, once the state of choice for business, education, and raising a family is now a place where both businesses and people are fleeing. Though we are still leading the Nation in many aspects; unfortunately we are now leading in the wrong direction. California now has the second highest tax in the Nation, we now have 35% of all of the welfare cases in the Nation, we have comparatively high unemployment above 12%, we have one of the highest crime rates, we have some of the highest drop-out rates, and now we have recently been ranked as having the worst business climate in the Nation!
Now to rub salt in the wound, our brilliant legislature just decided to give money away to "undocumented" immigrants for their free college education—but not to worry, I am sure they are planning to raise our taxes to cover the shortfalls and expand the program even more :)
Even crazier than that our Progressives are busy at work finding more ways to cause economic damage by considering AB 889 "the Babysitting bill" which would require families to provide nannies and sitters who are over 18 years old with minimum wage, worker's compensation, paid vacation, and overtime pay. People who do not comply could be sued. So what does this mean…more jobs for babysitters? No, it will probably force many people to avoid using babysitters (hurting both those that employee babysitters and those that babysit).
Once again, thanks to our wonderful Progressive legislature.
If life like this seems appealing to you and like a good future for our Nation, please make sure you go vote for the Democrats in 2012—because I assure you that is what we are going to get!
