I lived in California for more

than 30 years and can tell you all about political stupidity. You are talking the seventh largest economy in the

world, with the highest corporate taxes, some of the highest sales taxes and an income tax and the damned fools have

driven the state to bankruptcy. They used to have budget surpluses, some of the best public schools in the nation

and wonderful state parks. Now they cannot support any of those that they've already allowed to deteriorate beyond

belief and are cutting further.
