And since the big corps don't pay anything anyway it would make operating costs a lot better for the small guys
Well that's the biggest and most misguided thing about it, it's the small corporations, collectively, which would generate more net jobs per share, and more net jobs in America, not the big corporations, so people want to apply this regressive tax to the multinationals, basically to "punish" them for being too big, but it's not the multinationals who end up taking the hit, it's the smaller corporations who are right there in America and not offshoring, Andrew Bennet Incorporated and his 40 employees, who ends up getting crushed right out of business, even though, your small corporation is the most pound for pound net productive type of corporation of them all.

When people think "corporation" they always think Monsanto or whatever, they never stop to think that may be and are in fact crushing Andrew Bennet Inc. et. al. with this regressive tax on productivity.

It ain't over yet. A petition was started to get the official process off and running. There is also a movement to split the state into 2 or more states with "Jefferson" the name most cited if there were to be two.
Yeah, but some Californians have been riding that pony for a while. I mean a lot of the mewling has died down. The people that have though it was a good idea for CA to secede or split up forever see this as an opportunity, but I really don't think it is going to go anywhere.

24 hours of taking to the streets

24 hours of sitting at home saying I'm still totally going to secede :cry:

Aaaaaaaand we are basically back on track.

I'm certain a new op-ed will pop up every now and again over the next year or so, but I would be really surprised to see more than that.
HAIL!

Her needs America so they won't just take his shit away like in some pussy non gun totting countries can happen.

California blessed California. Only California would be so dissuilusioned that they think themselves different from the beast when in fact they are its arms and legs. Texas at least has guns and martial spirit but no they are wed to the beast and have been since they fought for independence to submit to the beast. California you just keep dreaming big though. California they said. Go west they said. There you will find the answer. California.

No it didn't. That was Yankees son. The Yankees colonized it for reasons unknown to me and when the dust bowl set in you got some extras. If not for the beautiful country the state would be a complete aberration.

Come at me bro.

California has loads of ranches, loads of agriculture, and don't forget the by-your-boot-straps lunatics the gold rush brought. We got more rural and more do it your selfers than anywhere on god's earth. (A statement I make from the chair, and absolutely refuse to back up with any numbers.)

I'm sure you do but you also have about one hundred million immigrants living in LA.

Every one of them a pioneer trying to make their bit.

Look, my state taxes are negligible, but my federal taxes are absurd. Give me some of my money back to help my pioneering immigrant neighbors, and you don't have to worry your head about it Tex. :D

Sure yeah. "Natural Conservatives," like Reagan said right? Right before he granted some millions amnesty :lol: :lol: :lol:

Reagan will be the last time the state voted Republican. I'll wait while you look up the dominant political party in Mexico for the last several decades. Not like you give a fuck.

I don't automatically associate being hard working and a valuable with being conservative or liberal.

Apparently I have been insufficiently red pilled.
