California Loses Revenue After Tax Increase…Go Figure
As I have mentioned before, I don’t understand Californians. I posted something along those lines back in August and I really could not understand how the populace would continue to vote for people who were hell-bent on destroying the state’s economy.
Then in November, the same idiots nationwide re-elected the same person who is hell bent on destroying Americas economy. So be it.
I no longer feel a need to try to change anyones minds about the disaster they just initiated. I no longer feel obligated to worry about the next generation, it was the next generation who were a majority vote for Bambam. So be it.
You kids get what you deserve.
The only thing that I can do is take care of my own and prepare for the eventual collapse. And if you think that I am being to apocalyptic, look to the east, I give you Detroit, New York, and Chicago then to the west, California. For all you youngsters out their that thought it will be great to have bigger government, bigger handouts, bigger unions, bigger social justice, bigger immigration, add nauseam blah blah blah… check your facts. You want to see the future? Look no further than the decay that has infected the states listed above.
Democrats thought they could hammer “the rich” by convincing voters to pass Proposition 30 to create the highest state income tax in the nation. But it now appears that high income earners have already “voted with their feet” by moving themselves and their businesses out of state, resulting in over $1 billion shortfall in corporate and income taxes last month and the beginning of a new financial crisis.
State bureaucrats immediately ramped up deficit spending far beyond the state’s $6 billion annual tax increase, with the Departments of Health Services and Developmental Services increasing this month’s spending by over $1 billion versus last year. The lower tax collection and higher spending drove the State’s deficit after the tax increase to $2.7 billion for the first 5 months of this fiscal year. State Controller John Chiang reported.
As panic spreads that goosing taxes on the rich may have created enough “tax flight” that the California will actually collect less taxes, there was welcome news that a business had committed to opening in the State. Executives of the 99 Cents Only Stores Inc. proclaimed they would be opening a new location in Beverly Hills on formerly posh Rodeo Drive.
All A Dollar on Rodeo Drive, bwahahahahaha…….. you just can’t make this shit up. How does that feel you liberal nut jobs?
A Nod to Breitbart for the story – Read the entire article here.
Before you get on my ass about city versus states names. just take it in context. Michigan/Illinois…happy.
A Liberal Masquerading As A Sports Writer
I know I went off about Bob Costas and his inappropriate rant during Sunday Night Football last Sunday. I still think he is backwards in his thinking, but I give him props for going on O’Reilly’s show last night doing his best to explain.
But the sports writer Bob paraphrased is Jason Whitlock and he is a complete and utter buffoon. I have never seen anyone spout such racially biased blather and is completely unaware that he does it.
A few quotes from his latest column.
Bob Costas quoted and paraphrased my ancillary point during a courageous halftime commentary on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.” He infuriated the right-wing entertainment media and gave Bill O’Reilly and his disciples the opening to pretend the Second Amendment is under some sort of serious attack. It is not. We just finished a hotly contested election cycle, and not one political candidate that I can think of uttered a single meaningful word about gun violence, gun control, gun culture and the outdatedness of the justification for the Second Amendment.
There were bigger fish to fry you idiot, gun control is a liberal dream, even if it is not front and center in an election cycle and Obama is trying to get the moderate vote.
This issue is so dead in this country that the flag-waving, right-wing entertainment media have to drag up a non-political, non-voting sports columnist and a talented sports broadcaster as their straw men to justify their phony outrage. I don’t think I’ll be called before the Senate to speak on any toothless gun-control legislation the NRA lobby lets slip through a crack.
For being a “non-political, non-voting sports columnists”, you certainly express your feelings favoring the left on social issues that, if you don’t vote ….you should shut the fuck up. FOX Sports should boot your ass.
I’m a grown-ass man and it’s 2012. I don’t have to shuffle off to the Big House when summoned. O’Reilly is not Boehner, Pelosi or Obama. He’s a TV entertainer who has spent the weeks after the election crying about the end of “white establishment” America, the end of the days when an upstanding white man felt entitled to summon whomever he wanted whenever he wanted to the Big House to dance.
Chicken shit. It would be pretty easy to blow your cover as a closet liberal spewing your point of view as a “sports writer”. Your from Chicago for hell’s sake, you know you have an Obama bumper sticker.
I believe we should re-examine our love affair with guns. They don’t protect us from tyranny. Guns are toys in America. Guns are a dangerous hobby. Guns are a macho accessory, no different from a shiny sports car.
We can’t see this or even have a discussion about it because the propaganda-political-lobby-machine, the NRA, has hoodwinked America into believing handguns make us safer. The NRA, like the KKK, has brainwashed us through fear and division.
Yeah, I trust this guy.

Retirement Outlook For 20 Somethings
I received this from an Investment Firm detailing the realities of the world we live in. I assumed that social security was a retirement benefit, (albeit a small one). If it was never intended to be that, then it was a tax.
Retirement Outlook for the 20-Somethings
In the 1930’s Franklin D. Roosevelt set up Social Security as part of the New Deal. Most people are unaware that age 65 was picked as the retirement age because life expectancy in the 1930s was just under 60. In other words, most people would be dead before they were eligible for benefits. As a result, Social Security would not cost much to fund.
Then Social Security morphed from Social Security to Social Retirement. How did this happen? The answer is simple: someone forgot to increase the eligibility age. As life expectancy increased, the eligibility age should have increased too. Applying the 1930 rules, the true retirement age today is shockingly age 89.
Here are the stats from the governments own tables:
| Year | Number of Recipients | Dollars Spent |
| 1937 | 52,236 | $1,278,000 |
| 1940 | 222,448 | $13,896,000 |
| 1950 | 3,477,243 | $961,000,000 |
| 1960 | 14,844,589 | $11,245,000,000 |
| 1970 | 26,228,626 | $31,863,000,000 |
| 1980 | 35,584,955 | $120,511,000,000 |
| 1990 | 39,862,125 | $247,796,000,000 |
| 2000 | 45,414,794 | $407,644,000,000 |
| 2008 | 50,898,244 | $615,344,000,000 |
In the 1930s, giving money to a handful of older survivors was a great idea; today, it is most likely going to break us, unless something is done.
The remedy is quite simple: gradually increase the retirement age to where it truly belongs -in the late 80s.
The older generations had little reason to doubt the strength of Social Security. They graduated from college with little or no debt, joined a company with a great pension plan, and saved for a rainy day.
For the 20-Somethings it is different. Most likely, this will be your reality:
- You are probably on your own! Nobody is going to take care of you! Retirement is your problem, not somebody else’s!
- Social security will probably always be around, in some form, but you will need to be older to get it.
- Employer funded pensions might be a thing of the past.
- Here is what you might want to do:
- Get into a good and rewarding profession that pays well.
- Practice frugality – you don’t need all that stuff.
- Save! It is fun to have money – it’s tough to be broke.
- Take full advantage of the many tax deferred ways to save: IRAs, Roth IRAs, 401ks, Annuities, Cash Value Life Insurance, etc.
- Don’t try to get rich quickly. “Hail Mary” passes usually fall short. People get rich slowly. Small investments over long periods of time make all the difference.
- Remember: money has to do with freedom – without it you are in bondage
The Global Warming Question
Personally I think it is a political ploy dreamed up by Democrats to regulate and tax big oil and shut down coal fired power plants so they can blow a wad of cash on unproven and ineffective renewable energy sources.
But how do you explain this?
Yeah, I can’t explain it either.
Matt Damon Says Political View Won’t Hurt Career
Wrong. I have already noted all of the liberal asshats that backed or helped raise money for Obambam. 
Damon said he has no regrets about voicing his political views and doubts that it prevents audiences from judging his work on its own merits.
“I don’t worry about it,” Damon told TheWrap. “I mean people know I’m a liberal guy, and I’m fine with that. I think people go to the movies that they want to go to.
A Jason Bourne movie is always going to have a bigger audience than a smaller movie and there are people of every stripe who go to
I won’t watch or go to another Damon movie, I won’t watch, listen to or support a Sarah Jessica Parker, Eva Longoria, Cher, Will Ferrell, Katy Perry, Alec Baldwin, Drew Barrymore, Joy Behar , Mariah Carey, George Clooney, Oprah, Matt Damon, Ellen DeGeneres, Cameron Diaz, Jimmy Fallon, Jamie Foxx ,Morgan Freeman, Janeane Garofalo, Danny Glover, Whoopie Goldberg, Melanie Griffith, Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah, Samuel L. Jackson, Jay-Z, Scarlett Johansson, Magic
Johnson, Ashley Judd, Ashton Kutchner,
Lady Gaga, Spike Lee, Madonna, Bill Maher, Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts, Chris Rock, Susan Sarandon, Steven Spielberg, Bruce Springsteen, Barbara Streisand, Dave Stewart, Vanessa Williams, etc….
I don’t have any interest in the majority of these idiots anyway, but if putting up a small list will keep just one person from supporting these moonbats then I have done something positive.
Besides, anybody that would vote for Obama can’t be trusted, something wrong in the head ya know.
I Have Seen The Enemy
And it is the shrills from MSNBC and the liberal media. If you ever wanted to know if the media was biased, read below. How stupid are the American people?
President Obama met with a litany of liberal media personalities on Tuesday to push his tax cut message.
Spotted filing into the West Wing on Tuesday were Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, Ed Schultz and Al Sharpton.
The meeting was not on the president’s public schedule and White House officials initially declined to comment on the meeting. They later issued a statement to POLITICO:
“This afternoon at the White House, the President met with influential progressives to talk about the importance of preventing a tax increase on middle class families, strengthening our economy and adopting a balanced approach to deficit reduction,” spokesman Josh Earnest said.
Bob Costas
Mr. Costas is getting remarkably close to the line that Keith Olberman crossed. But there is a deeper problem here. He actually believes what he said.
So Bob, let’s test the theory. How may Democrats would dump their taxpayer-funded personal security if guns were completely outlawed? How about Mr. Obama? How about Mrs. Pelosi?
That is his argument, if guns were illegal, this would not have happened. Bullshit and they know it.
They want to disarm by misinformation, and Costas is a willing puppet. Dumbass.
