To give you some feel of the magnitude of the new "compromise millionaires' tx proposition increase, if it passes, CA's 13.3% millionaire's tax will be 21% higher than the second highest state -- crazy Hawaii. We'll be 34% higher than uber-liberal third place Oregon. And a HELL of a lot higher than all the other states -- including six with ZERO state income tax. At least by driving most of the rich from the "Golden State," we can finally solve that irritating income disparity problem that so bothers the Occupy folks. Brilliant!!

Governor Jerry Brown's projected revenue on such a California tax increase ALREADY has been pooh-poohed by the Legislative Analyst's Office. Like all CA government revenue projections, Brown's prop is wishful thinking rather than impartial reasoning. The key for Brown ET AL is that they assume that the rich -- complete dolts that they are (that's how they got rich) -- won't mind a 30% increase in their already sky-high CA state income tax -- that they would not change their state of residence to avoid such confiscatory policies. RIIGGGHHHHTTTTTT.

Of course, Mike Adams is right. Too bad we can't all send our kids to Hillsdale College, or perhaps a handful of the other less PC academic institutions. NO public university meets this standard. But at least you still get to subsidize these government propaganda camps -- throughout your life.

A fine additional suggestion.

If the KKK were queried on this issue, they'd back the teachers big-time. The present system keeps lower income minorities down far better than any burning of a few KKK crosses could accomplish. Hence the offspring of these inbred knuckle-dragging KKK members have a good chance to compete with people of color. No single institution does more to "keep blacks in their place" than government education.

Obnoxious Hollywood stars who advocate socialism reinforce my conviction to avoid going to movie theaters, where these progressive political bozos make their fortunes. Not that I don't enjoy watching Matt Damon, Sean Penn, ET AL as actors. I'll watch them on DVD, Blu-ray, or on a legal download (using a monthly plan from Blockbuster or others). Such low-cost alternatives probably make Damon and his fellow big-time stars a few pennies, as opposed to funneling him a dollar or more via a movie ticket. My advice: Get a big screen TV and sound system. Arrange your own in-house snacks. Avoid noisy movie goers who detract from the film. Enjoy more comfortable home seating. Pick your own time to watch, and pause the viewing as necessary.

Nothing wrong with school union members giving their money to unions -- it just shouldn't be done via payroll deductions funded by taxpayers. First the educators should take possession of their paychecks, and then the unions can ask them to donate. Where such a policy is in place, union war chests are reduced 85%.

"Though Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn noted Tuesday that crime is colorblind, he called the Sunday night looting of a convenience store near the park and beatings of a group of people who had gone to the park disturbing, outrageous and barbaric." CRIME IS COLORBLIND? By and large, some of the worst police officers in America become big city police chiefs. Political hacks rather then public safety officials. This was a race riot with hate crimes galore. Sadly, such black on white incidents are not deemed news by the MSM. At least news they deem appropriate for their spoon fed audiences.

Alpacas sound like too much trouble. I'm an urban farmer. Granted, I grow nothing but grass and a few shrubs. But surely I can qualify for some farm subsidies. My specialty is not growing things. What produce or animals can I get paid most for NOT growing? With my skills in agriculture, I suspect I can at least double my nonproduction annually, given the proper government economic incentives.

The big difference between these private sector charlatans and the ones in government is that private con men don't FORCE us to pay for their "service."
