Richard,
…but I get the impression that the only acceptable solution is to reduce taxes.
On the off chance that you’re not being deliberately obtuse and may check back, let me give you an answer. No, that is not the only solution, although it works when tried. Another solution (especially where CA is concerned) would be to do nothing (like raising already confiscatory taxes) to make a horrid situation completely untenable. But that won’t work for the psychotics ruining the state.
Take a look at this article from yesterday since you complain about no one linking anything to back up their assertions.
http://finance.yahoo.com/real-estate/article/107003/More-Cities-Seeing-at-Least-15-Percent-Unemployment
18 major metros in the US with unemployment of 15 % or higher. 12 of them in CA. The people running the place call it bad luck or blame Bush. Any thinking person looks at the numbers and sees the obvious. The state is run by idiots.
In a normal society the state workers view themselves as public servants. Not so here and it’s exactly 180 out. The private sector employees and business owners exist to fund CTA and SEIU and provide 90% pensions and full medical at 50-55 years of age.
But Richard, you keep believing that the problem is with those who advocate cutting taxes. Not that any cuts are taking place, mind you. In your view it sounds like merely advocating for tax rate reduction imperils prosperity, regardless of the fact that rates are actually going higher. We will be the first society to tax our way to prosperity. Yes we can!
