Texas is just one entree on the menu of choices Californians are considering. Apparently you don’t like Texas. Fine. But there are others out there as well….49 in fact, plus the Vampire Empire on the banks of the Potomac…..and many are looking quite appealing vis-a-vis California.

Let me ask you: 3.5 million people….NET…. have waved bye-bye to California in the rear view mirror in the past 21 years, and you don’t think there’s a problem?

That’s NET losses.

Did I say NET?

I want to make sure you fully comprehend I am talking NET emigrants.

Got it?

Repeat after me: “….3.5 million NET emigrants…”.

Good. Just wanna make sure we compare apples to apples. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Property taxes may be higher but property values are 40% to 60% of what they are in California to compensate for the tax load. As a result home values are in line with incomes. In California very few can afford the home they live in based on their incomes.

Another thing: After paying property taxes and a smaller sales tax than in California, your total tax load is much less. Something else I found out about Texas real estate: because Texans are not nickel and aimed from every kind of tax conceivable they KNOW what their total tax burden is. TEST: how much of a percentage of your income or property value in California is your TOTAL tax load? Answer: you have to run some numbers to total up property taxes, income taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, utility user taxes, special assessments for sewers, etc., new rain water tax in L.A. County, and on and on and on ad infinitum.

So Texans are more vigilant about property taxes than Californians. Also for most California communities the quality of public schools do not enhance surrounding property values. There is no sure tax capitalization for schools in most areas of California due to the poor performing schools.

While I’ll grant you that it is not their conscious intent to inflict prolonged pain, it will be the invariable result of their policies.

America will not experience a bona-fide recovery until Barry’s shown the door. As to California, I’ll reference a favorite Seinfeld episode: “Prognosis Negative”. I really can’t see how you can come to any other conclusion. The Dem super-majority will see to that.

Teddy Hood and his band of Merrie Men will say my conclusion is just so much “farting” (in the words of our juvenile Governor who, now that Dick Clark is dead, appears to be running for title of “America’s Oldest Teenager”) and point to the “miraculous” solving of our budget problem, but everyone with an IQ bigger that their shoe size knows these are merely accounting acrobatics that would make Rube Goldberg’s head spin.
