First Visit To Pawn Shop 1897 Morgan

Well given the spending mania of the legislators for the last 30 or so years, and all of these out of control social programs and entitlements due to state employees, (and they are entitled by contract since that's what the state agreed to) the state has dug itself into a hole. In addition, companies have been leaving in droves to avoid some of these high corporate taxes which are not easing up. We can expect more of them to scoot out when the CA cap n trade goes into effect with all its new regs and restrictions making it even more difficult for some of them to compete. These companies which have been lost to other areas have put a big dent in the state's revenues and I can only see it getting worse. What it all adds up to is higher taxes for us peons in an attempt to stop the hemmoraging. Got a ballot initiative coming up in June where the Governor is going to give us the opportunity to vote ourselves even higher taxes.

I don't want to get into a huge political argument, and what I will say will bother a lot of people, but cutting social programs just seems absurd to me in the face of our obscene military spending. Making sure there isn't abuse is fine though, I guess. I think its true about the companies though...but what choice do you have? Ruin your environment or save some businesses? Without a worldwide effort it doesn't matter anyway, get ready for 100 degrees being as common as 94 in NJ in 70 years...
