Cannabineer, let's be honest, prop 30 was a "lets tax the wealthy more" initiative.
California is on it's way to bankruptcy, it's an obvious fact that we're running businesses out of the state by over taxing and over regulating the very people who are the revenue creators, do you really disagree here?

Regulation is a separate category. Fwiw, i do agree that the regulatory burden on CA businesses is high.
But overtaxation? I need to break this into categories.
There's perceived overtaxation doe to an ideological allergy to taxes. I won't treat of that. It's an unwinnable argument on either side.
Then there's overtaxation in relation to the other players - other states and nations. Can you show me that this is being done? cn

Speaking of Republicans.....

The party of big business and fiscal expertise. Romney was the perfect choice because of his business background. The GOP was adamant about it.

They spent 1.2 billion dollars on this election. 1 POINT FUCKING 2 billion. What was the return on their investment? ZERO.

Regulations IMO are more costly to businesses than taxes, in fact many regulations are taxes disguised by using the term fees.
What I am saying is, we can look to the state of California as a precursor to what over regulating and taxing will do to our nation.
California businesses and jobs are being sent to other states like Arizona, Texas and South Carolina the same way the US is losing businesses to China. France is another perfect example of how over taxing sends the job creators packing, they lost more than 322,000 millionaires last year alone by squeezing their wealthy for more and more taxes.
