GC, how many times are you going to bring up your socialist nirvana is Europe meme? It's been fully addressed, debunked, and debated. Just because you're fixated on your meme and refuse to incorporate the facts presented to you, doesn't mean people need to step onto your platform and take another trip around the same circle.
I got it, in your view, socialism is the end all to beat all. Sorry chief, I'm never going to buy it. You've been presented with reams of facts and you don't want to see them. That's fine, hang with that. Getting on a Merry-go-round with you on the same specific subject over and over is a supreme waste of time.
As to California, I'd really suggest you leave the topic alone. I've lived here for over 50 years, been fortunate to realize the American Dream, and my family roots go back over 140 years, right here in Southern California. We have been a very active and in touch with the community/government family over all those generations, so unless you want to stick to facts, there is little chance of your conjecture surviving the stress test.
By the way, I consideer Ahnold to among the worst Governors this state has ever had in office. Brown is lucky Ahnold came along, because the title of worst was leaning in his direction. Given Browns actions since taking office, Ahnold may have to reliquish the title.
