CA - a land of political paradoxes?

[WhyteRain]

One thing I've always heard is that California is a poster child for left wing policies gone amok.

Not "gone amok"; more accurately, "successfully instituted".

[WhyteRain]

California is set up for the rich and poor to rape the middle class, which is like a keg tapped at both ends.  Then they wonder why they have all those population outflows.  They need a fence, like East Germany had.

I've been trying not to get into tone arguments lately, but this post is disgusting.

Typical ad hominem response from an extreme Leftwinger.

That Kotkin article is worth reading in full:  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304444604577340531861056966.html

Don't miss the part where he calls Calif "a two-and-a-half class society" and compares Calif with Texas.

[WhyteRain]

"No man's life, liberty, or property is safe so long as the Legislature's in session."

Obviously California needs a government more like Texas'.  Here's how to start:  Prevent the Legislature from meeting more than a few weeks every couple of years, give it almost no power to change anything without voter approval, and pay the members a pittance.
