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.

Income Inequality A Farce

A funny thing happened on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor the other day. Libertarian and consumer reporter John Stossell and Factor host Bill O’Reilly actually agreed on another topic emanating from the Obama Administration that will surely become another fake issue: income inequality. Both believe it’s bogus.

“What the liberal will never understand, the Democratic Party as well, is that some people just don’t do what is necessary to have the pie that you take out of the oven. Or even have the oven,” O’Reilly says. “They will not or cannot do it.”

He was reacting to Stossel’s satirical pie-baking demonstration and the much-used cliche that the rich get the bigger slice of the pie. Says Stossel, “The reporters often say. ‘the rich got richer,’ which they did. That’s a by-product of freedom, there will be a wealth disparity. And the poor got poorer. But that’s a lie. The poor have not gotten poorer. Middle incomes have stagnated, but that leaves out a lot of the good stuff that poor and middle-income people get.”
