&quot;I just said the snivel factor out here is high as usual.&quot;  No Teddy, you DIDN&#039;T say that.  You didn&#039;t even infer that.  

You just blabber away, never using the LogicCheck app to see if you are making a lick of sense. You&#039;re not.

Teddy, no one said we shouldn&#039;t pay taxes. Not even me.  The issue is HIGH taxes -- as if you didn&#039;t know.  As the other states amply demonstrate, one can get the desired state services for a LOT less cost than California state and local governments charge.

Apparently you equate any state paying less taxes than CA with a &quot;third world country.&quot;  Amazing.  

BTW, given that CA easily has the highest poverty rate in the nation, it seems that we get closest to your cherished third world country right here in the Golden State.  If one moves to any other state, the poverty rate is lower.  It&#039;s YOU who should move to get out of this third world state!]]></description>

SeeSaw, according to your gonzo &quot;public employees = economic stimulus,&quot; then we should have encourage California mobsters, street thugs and burglars to expand their numbers and productivity, as their increased spending will stimulate the Golden State economy.

Of course, their higher spending is accomplished by first stealing their booty from those that earned it, reducing the victims&#039; spending in CA.  

Yours is the classic &quot;Broken Window Fallacy&quot; -- the absurd assumption that breaking more windows creates work and stimulates the economy.  But then, from you I would expect nothing less.  Sniveling, indeed!]]></description>

I am no special person that got $1800 because of any special arrangement.  That is where my taxable income fell on the chart after taking the credits that everyone in CA uses--not just me.  You can keep on claiming you pay me pension long as you want--opinions are cheap.  Everybody has one.   You are also  able to leave CA if you think you will be treated differently in another state of your choice.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We are far along in development of software that is an actuarial marvel. It calculates the cost to society of keeping people alive through medical care and public services. Govt pensions and social security are part of it. Govt retirees do poorly in the analyses, because they paid so little. My generation will use these aids to manage society&#039;s resourses in the future. There is no euthanasia involved, but we will pull the plug on medical resources that just keep a human organism going. This really is a new way of looking at humans. This is the  audacity of change in the modern world. We struggle with the programming for a child with special needs, we do not have any hesitation with a govt retiree.]]></description>
