As regards corruption I don't know how you rank but there are now apparently 4 cities/towns there that have gone bankrupt. Bell is an example of greed, gluttony and corruption.
So what is breaking California? And why are we, as a nation, wallowing in debt, unemployment and poverty. Amazingly simple *( for me ). I'm not a space scientist not a PhD. But I can easily understand in simple and elementary terms why!
a. Our nation is populating at unsustainable, breakneck speed. Not only illegal aliens but also legal migrants flooding in here. 125 MILLION in the recent past.
b. The masterminds have in reality farmed out *( called outsourcing ) vast numbers of industries overseas to foreign countries following the plan of Milton Friedman, economist. Sent manufacturing to cheap, labor countries who produce cheap goods for American consumers. The Americans who are displaced can "re-train" Yeah - right !!!!
Couple these elements with the flaming liberal, left, dysfunctional, progressives that have somehow ascended to political positions and "voila" you have a California debacle.
Now take Hollywood. Full of filthy rich performers. Apparently all dominated by Judeaism. i.e. directors and producers. Predominately bleeding heart liberals??? Most republican/conservative actors hide under the covers, with a few exceptions such as Jon Voigt and some others.
And what is the impact of Reconquista, MEChA, LULAC, La Raza, the Catholic church? PLENTY.
So those are the problems. What are the solutions? I know the solution's but what I am not able to portray are their implementations in practical implementation.
So we will go on until the situation gets unbearable and the majority of people are fed up to the eyeballs and then we will have regime change.

What has saved many Californians has been Prop. 13 that has kept our property taxes at abut 1.5%. When Prop. 13 was passed it was suppose to be at 1%, but slowly crept up. There are leftist organizations like C.A.U.S.E. (a nonprofit strung all along the coast) that have tried to overturn Prop. 13 but failed so far. They keep trying though.
Our sales tax is anywhere from 8.5%-10% depending on which county you make a purchase from.
What they do here in California is hit you with FEES. That way they can say it wasn't a tax.
My biggest
fee is the cost of paying for water each month. Just to have my water turned on and not even turn a faucet on, it costs me $125.00 each month. That's my water "fee".[/B]
