Senator Abel Maldonado sold us out. But us I mean the taxpayers of California, those of us who will stay. My best friend plans to leave within two years. Another friend of mine is planning on leaving with his family. These are low six figure earners in other words middle class in California. These are people who own their homes with mortgages. Unfortunately, California hates them and people like them. Oh sure they say they don't but are like the abusive spouse who keeps beating his wife. The wife stays for as long as she can hoping he'll change, hoping she won't get hit again. Eventually she leaves. It is just a numbers game. The top 3 percent of taxpayers pay half the state's income taxes. So in an effort to keep their constituents happy namely the labor unions, the Democrats and a few sellouts like Abel Maldonado, are going back to the well to get more money to cover the state's budget shortfall. In good years the labor unions like the prison guards saw massive increases in their wages. In lean years, their wages do not go down. The ultimate problem for California is that the people getting the goodies, like the labor unions and the permanent underclass that keeps increasing, don't pay the freight. The freight is being paid by just a few, a few that will be leaving soon. Even Bragelina live in France, probably for tax reasons compared to a California residence. It will get worse before it gets completely hopeless. The Democrats have destroyed California and New York, 48 to go.
