Chuck Asay sifts the events of the day through his biblical worldview and tries to persuade readers to see things his way...that rights are given by a higher authority than the governments of men, that mankind is not the ultimate arbiter of truth and that our Constitutional Republic is worth protecting. Chuck believes ideas, not politicians rule the world. He tries to protect ideas which he thinks are good and attacks ideas he thinks bring harm.

Yes, yes, it’s Progress that’s the enemy. It has nothing to do with rampant deregulation that’s hit EVERY state, red and blue. If CA was truly progressive, they would raise their corporate taxes to a sensible level, and put more money in the pockets of the working class, and voila, revenues increase, budget solved.

I know where my grandmother always said this country was going in a handbasket. It’s a very warm place too.

Are conservative ideas any better?
Hint; we are almost 30 years after Reagan. The guy’s been dead for five years.

Those Californians are broke. Spent too much. Corrosive Frog, aren’t you a Canadian? What do you know about Reagan. Zip. I think our economy will be in the same shape in 3 more years, if it exists at all.

Ian, that is exactly what California tried. Tax corporations and spend on social projects. But what happens when corporations no longer are making profits? No taxes come in, expenses remain the same and the state goes into deficit and must borrow.
So they then turned to the middle class and asked them to vote to raise their own taxes. They said no. That is where we are literally today. What should they do? Remember big business and big corporations and big earners are no longer making profits.

Yes, look at California and see where a government run by progressives will take us.
California has already tried to tax itself to solvency and quickly discovered that it simply can’t tax high enough to dig itself out of the mess they are in. They are finding out too that the more they tax the worse it gets.
You’d think that raising taxes would automatically raise revenue but it doesn’t. The reason it doesn’t is because when taxes are increased people change how they make decisions in order to reduce the amount of taxes they pay..from putting off buying things, investing differently….finding ways around higher taxes.
When taxes are not as high revenue increases because the tax rate is tolerable and taxable activity will increase.
We’ve seen it over and over….when are people going to get it.

That wasteland Asay drew is the right-winger’s paradise. Since it’s impossible to raise taxes, the government has to cut government spending - which results in the wreckage you see.

Part of the problem California has had in trying to raise middle class taxes is the threats they use if taxes aren’t raised. We will cut X or Y or Z. But every single one of those benefits and handouts go to the lower economic classes and the middle class says if you make those cuts it will not effect my life in any possible significant way. So they vote no.
BTW, that is a very rational response. I face the same problem is promoting a school voucher system. The middle class is happy with their schools and see no benefits to them.

Sigh,
It is the fault of both sides and California’s messed up voting districts. They are gerrymandered to hell. It is also the fault of a number of direct democracy policies that have not been working. CA needs a nonparisan rewrite of the voting districts and a Constitutional rewrite that doesn’t include current lawmakers or party hacks from either side. You can take wagers on the possibility.

The effects of Milton Friedman economics at home= Orwell meets Baum=Reagan+2 Bushes=”Lost” +”Titanic” in Oz. Basic newspeak IS the only language spoken in conservative’s split tongues.

lightartsteacher; I know what I’ve read about him plus the fact that Mulroney tried the same thing here. It’s global village time, man! This is the Internet.

In the words of Waylon Jennings, “All the sidemen want to be front men”. America works when we lead…Yet leadership isn’t for the weak-willed. Have fun girlie-men!

HERE in California we’re only the 6th largest economy in the world, and New York, their probable 7th or 8th. We need your help. SEND MONEY ! And we’ll send you another movie star for President. We know how you like them ( even if most of them are transplanted ).
