And the recent budget cuts for the UC system are only going to increase college tuition for students, not to mention pay cuts for the professors and other campus employees.
I’d love to see the Gov donate one of his many houses to a scholarship fund for the same students his budget cuts will prevent from getting an education.

Governator has failed this state several times. It’s hard to believe that he was brought in to clean up this mess given that he was going to be the charismatic uniter who could transcend Sacramento politics. By far, his worst role yet, and this man has made some bombs. Junior, anyone?

I am the point that i am willing to pay the taxes, try not to complain about it and work hard,all i ask in return from the democrats is make other people work and give me my God back in school prayer to help complete moral lessons.

thomas is correct, but the biggest winners are the churches; when a family was really down and out, the churches were the ones who helped out the needy and poor and through simple networking was able to try and find work for the indigent families who were indeed suffering. But when the democrats came into power this prideful
action was usurped by government officials trying to make this a socialist state, forcing people to be accountable to the state.I was always taught that government was accountable to the people. Now the churches can use that money and build huge monoliths to their God. The old argument enters my head, would Jesus wear a rolex?

when i was very young…my father worked in the conservation corps…we were given “relief”..ie…cheese…potatoes…sacks of flour and other commodities..plus father was given a small stipend…all he had to do was work…and he was able to maintain his
dignity during those hard times…my father always spoke with pride how he
still supported us and eventually moved into good jobs and homes…It seems that work and family oriented ethic has really gone by the wayside…
everyone wants a piece of the entitlement pie…without doing anything for it…fortunately, i maintained his work ethic and am amazed to see grown men sitting on a porch waiting for the mailman to bring his check…Big brother has become the surrogate father…and it saddens me still.

I doubt that you are really a Libertarian, or have even been around Libertarians because you sure don’t sound like one.

your formula makes sense but how can we include human nature into it?
weak citizen = desperation which leads to all sorts of corruption
then again, strong government leads to a similar kind of corruption. only inspired by greed instead of desperation. charlie reminded us about animal farm by orwell…how appropriate

I agree that the people at the top govnt positions are paid more than their worth as their assistants and everyone else on the totem pole is doing more of the work. As an aside though, who can survive off of 20k a year? These days 100k a year is barely enough to support a family of four and provide for education in the future.
