“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. After 8 years of this Administration we’ve just as much unemploymnt as when we started -And an enormous debt to boot!” – Henry Morgenthau, Secretary of the Treasury under Franklin D. Roosevelt and one of FDR’s closest advisers. http://bit.ly/9169Lh

The Left: Where Greed Meets Envy http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/06/the_left_where_greed_meets_envy.html
“Real trouble begins when those who crave power gain it by manipulating resentments. It is where greed meets envy — the structural foundation of the political left. When stripped of its many pretenses, the political left’s objective is control. It goes about trying to gain that control using a very simple formula: creating an enemy, and creating resentment in as many people as possible against that created enemy. It seeks to exploit envy to satiate its greed for power and never lets a crisis (real or imagined) go to waste…”

“Let’s hope California retains enough of its historic entrepreneurial spirit to muster the will to turn things around.”

Entrepreneurs cannot not “turn things around” anymore than an Olympic swimmer can win a gold medal with his or her hands tied behind his or her back.

What can “turn things around” is the neutralization (or elimination) of the State’s power to paralyze the efforts of an entrepreneur who simply seeks to create products and services that satisfy the wants and needs of a marketplace. As the brilliant economist Ludwig Von Mises stated, “the real bosses, in the capitalism system of market economy, are the consumers.”

We Californians are the consumers and we are the bosses and we need to push back and demand that the bureaucrats (the State, the Unions) step out of the way (or, better yet, disappear permanently) and make way for the true driver of innovation, spirit, and creativity: the entrepreneur. As I like to say, “Red tape keeps businesses in the red.”

Yahoo. Finally someone we’re (Oregon) economically competitive with. Not that I am gloating. We’ve been where you are going. Still we are finally gaining on the Demos here. Our strategy has been to save our state one county at a time. 2 examples. 1) To keep Portland Oregon green they agreed to make coos bay the port of the state and not Portland. Since that deal democrat Portland has stagnated and republican coos bay has increased in size and population by 5 times what it was. 2) In Washington County (next door to the people’s republic of Multnomah county, where Portland is.) the county and city governments gave up charging property taxes (for ten years) on any employer who moved in with a 100 or more jobs. As a result we went purple in the last election. Our house of reps is now permanently a 50/50 split.
So focus on saving your county and city republican areas and let the Democrat areas fend for themselves.

Dispeptic, I came from WY, a red state. Raised on a farm–left when I was 20, and I fouled nothing while I was raised there. I have been in CA since 1956, worked in a national defense corp for a year, married and raised a family, worked for a municipal government, have five beautiful grandchildren, and I am here, still in CA. I have always conducted myself properly–never had so much as a traffic ticket. You would have been damn, lucky to have known me along the way, you insolent jerk! What have you done to maintain and protect the places you have passed through, except being a pathetic whiner!

Steve wrote, “Not long ago, I penned a case for staying in California, arguing that there’s nothing wrong here that isn’t fixable.

I missed that one. Good to see you’ve come around and realize this state isn’t fixable. It will have to collapse completely before it can be turned around.
