I fear California is on the same path that Venezuela followed to its destruction,... and Cuba, and every single other socialist/communist state out there.
With people like that Cortez woman in Congress elected to pusue an agenda like hers, I fear for the Nation as a whole. With the NYC Mayor calling for government control of and central planning of every single thing in Manhattan, where are we headed?
There is not enough money in the world for everyone to have the US middle-class standard of living. There is only enough money for everyone to live like third world savages and heathens. Without an incentive to work hard and get ahead, what pitiful, degenerate state would we be in? What progress can be made when no one has anything? Ask those pitiable peasants from the former Soviet Union, if they are still alive.
This leaves me both angry and sad.
George Orwell, anyone?
