"Sacramento is headed for trouble again, and it shouldn't expect a bailout."
"Your government's run by a brothel of environmentalists, lawyers, public-sector unions and legislative bums. When they're not taxing or spending, they're creating regulations and commissions like the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology and the California Blueberry Commission. Many businesses would leave if it weren't for your sunny climate."
"You appropriately give your government low marks—28% approval for outgoing Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, 16% for the legislature—yet you continue to re-elect the politicians who got you into this mess. Not a single incumbent state legislator lost re-election this year, including one Democrat who died a month ago (no joke). What's scarier is that you've just given almost all of the keys to statewide offices to Democrats."

Most of us who live here wouldn't live anywhere else. The climate, the mountains, the beaches, the forests, the dunes. Can't be beat.
We have friends who've built a huge home in the middle of Wyoming--flat, very windy, cold and snowy in the winter--so they don't have to pay such high income taxes. We think they're crazy. The taxes we pay are worth every penny.
