Eliminating the state tax deduction is brilliant

Agree. the vast majority of CA will see why federalism is the answer.

Ryan losing the house is the most likely scenario.

The uneducated, unskilled and unproductive don’t want CA’s benevolence.

It’s time to let them all go. Good luck.

Question for your busted liver Dawg: What state in the US would you say received the largest share (on a per capita basis) of Cold War era defense spending (which was critical to said state becoming the economic powerhouse that it is today)? Tax payer largesse is a 2 way street throughout our history.

Understood. Post WWII and cold war military spending created a pyrrhic cal economy: George, Norton, Sacramento, alameda, el segundo, et al all closed. I lived through it. Point is CA reformed and educated itself. We didn’t bitch and cry like today’s entitled white trash. Led by our institutions of higher education, we re-skilled and once again lead the workd economy based on an entirely revamped and highly skilled work force. Tromps can fuck off. They will get what they deserve. Ultimately.

Agree to some extent pyrrhic aspect. I lived in SD till '92 and my Dad's business was definitely affected. Brutal recession. My point is, however, is that in spite of retooling themselves, CA probably wouldn't be where it is today without big government defense spending. Silicon Valley don't happen the way it did w/o Ruskies launching Webber BBQ's into outer space.

It’s interesting how American progress, ingenuity and success played out over the the 20th century, attrituable in large part to the passion of our immigrants — basque, Slav, German, Irish, Mexican... we made america great. Now the narrow-minded, unskilled, and uneducated say we need to build a “wall”

Fuck that. Fuck off.


CA independence.

I think the home mortgage deduction is good public policy. But doubling the standard deduction may make that un necessary. Most middle class wage earners don't have anything other than the home interest to deduct

Simplify means getting rid of most deductions and lowering rates.

Holy fuck, No itemizers? Most middle class wage earners only deduct mortgage interest?

I love husky football. I graduated from Uw in 1988. Born and raised in Seattle. HH is surprising to me in that I had no idea there were so many wt fans. I assumed we all were better than that, especially in 2017. Guess not.

So if gurgle is the drown sound. What sound would best describe your State cut off from outside water?


Crackle???

It will be interesting in the coming years to see how the political map will change as people move within the US. Here’s a press release from the Census Bureau from late 2016:

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2016/cb16-214.html

Utah is one of the fastest growing in terms of percentage growth, along with Nevada and Idaho. While I don’t think the big city powers of New York, San Francisco, etc. are going away, I also see a lot of people moving out in the future - especially if housing costs keep going up the way they are and how many jobs are becoming more mobile. These transplants from the coasts will take their political beliefs with them.

The highly educated don't give up their free speech rights to the state. The highly fucktarded do. I hope CA secedes and transforms into the Orwellian state the nouveau left totalitarians that run that shithole want it to become. Also, poast lynx to prove your "CA leads the world economy" claims or gtfo.
