High Taxes Have Consequences

Republicans are now debating renewing tax cuts. Reminds me of when I interviewed Donald Trump 15 years ago, after dumb New York pols raised taxes on the rich.

Trump practically shouted, “The rich people are going to leave, and other people are going to leave!” “You haven’t left,” I say. “I haven’t left yet,” he answers.

Of course, now Trump has left New York. And lots of big taxpaying people left states like New York and California. This John Stossel “Classic” from 2010 examines the consequences of high taxes.

Armageddon In New York!

New York state and New York City, in particular, are in a whirl of trouble and there isn’t any quick solution in sight.

That’s the assessment from media icon Bill O’Reilly, who says the main culprits are Gov. Kathy Hochul, who has a 54 percent unfavorability rating (Siena University poll), and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who is disapproved by 74 percent of the electorate (Marist College).

O’Reilly cites a number of failures, including New York’s standing as the highest-taxed state in the nation and collapsing infrastructure. “This is Armageddon. The two most powerful politicians have lost credibility with the people,” O’Reilly said. Here’s more.

Dems Make Case For Trump

There’s nothing more genuine than voters from an opposition party waking up and realizing they are supporting the wrong candidate.

Real America’s Voice says that if you watched television last weekend, you more than likely witnessed Democrats finally challenging surrogates of Kamala Harris and her policies. But the best voice came from a Democrat voter on C-Span, who explains how he will cast his vote, obviously supporting President Trump’s answers to the nation’s problems to Harris’ moldy word salads.

Why Awakening Takes So Long?

Why is the awakening of the American public taking so long?

Michael Jaco says a lot of people prefer to slumber. They don’t want to wake up. They want to continue to live in a dream state.

But at the same time, people are wanting to flee high-tax, crime-riddled states like New York and California.

Adam Carolla For Governor!

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Adam Carolla, Richard Grenell, Elisha Krauss about the Gavin Newsom recall, California exodus, and if Adam Carolla is really considering running for governor of California.

For years people have been leaving California. More and more people are moving to Texas or Florida and leaving high tax states. Now. an effort is underway to recall Gavin Newsom. who has pushed non-science based COVID lockdowns, which have destroyed small businesses. California leadership doesn’t seem to understand why businesses are leaving in droves. Some are even discussing creating a wealth tax that will accelerate people moving out of California.

Adam Richard and Elisha discuss if California is dead or if a Newsom recall could give the state a chance to turn it around. They also answer whether or not any of them have any plans for running for California Governor.

 

The Collapse of California

Footage and photographs from the bygone golden era of the Golden State. Near the end are just a few images of what California has become – but not does accurately portray the true mess that California is really in. The situation is very bad and will only get worse. For the Golden State, it may be too late, but for the rest of the United States it doesn’t have to be. What has happened to California should be an indicator of what is to become of the rest of the USA if it run by socialist liberals. We must protect the country and its people from those who wish to destroy everything we hold dear.

If California is viewed as a window to America’s future, we are headed toward ugly times. The Democrats who run the state have turned it into a magnet for the poor, as they can receive much higher benefits than they get in other states. So the poor are flocking to California, and the middle class are leaving. Already it is America’s most unequal state, the place with the greatest disparities between poor and the super-rich, who remain. More from Black Pigeon Speaks.

The move out of California has turned into a mass exodus. Not only taxes already high and skyrocketing, but there’s an enormous increase in the cost of living. The Money GPS says the biggest beneficiary is neighboring Nevada, receiving 25,000 to 50,000 incoming Californians every year.

Truth about the Yellow Vests

Paul Joseph Watson offers the truth about the “Yellow Vests,” the popular name emerging for the French protesters against excessive taxation and President Emmanuel Macron.

Mass Exodus from Illinois

Every state surrounding Illinois — Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana and Michigan — has experienced population gains over the past six or seven years. Why? Because folks are fleeing Illinois and its outrageous crime and tax increases.

Since the start of the current decade, Illinois has lost nearly 700,000 people. Illinois has dropped to sixth largest state in population, surrendering No. 5 to Pennsylvania. That’s bad news if you live in Illinois, but what’s worse: The trend is accelerating. More from the Money GPS.

Reagan Warned Us

In his address at the 1964 Republican National Convention, Ronald Reagan not only wowed the faithful, but unfurled a litany of oratorical genius. Truth be told, the man who would become our 40th president foretold the future in the very same speech. Reagan warned of the dangers of overspending, over-taxing, recklessly raising the debt limit, endangering the freedoms that our forefathers fought for and the perils of bigger government. In retrospect, Reagan warned us about Obama.
