Hello,
Does this sound good to you: "Calls for a permanent rollback of state spending to pre-1998 levels. Demands a part-time California State Legislature. Promotes radical state regulations reforms, drastically-reduced state government and numerous tax cuts. Pro-liberty platform. Opposes government bureaucracy and excessive taxation. "
I always find it hard to find a perfect candidate; it always seems to be a choice between bad, worse, and worser. I think this guy will suck the least.
I have always liked punk rock, Ca claims to be the golden state that is cutting edge, but it always votes for the same old candidates. It seems incumbents always win. Our current ranking of governed states (see below) shows this (psst. we are 49, we beat Kentucky!)
This article ranks the best to worst governed states (the list) from 1 to 50. Guess where Ca is? Things never change in politics. If people really want change, they need to create it by doing something different. (I guess the Dead Kennedys were being sarcastic when they said CA uber alles back in 1980)
I attached an oldie but goodie song that seemed to be a portend of the motivation of JB (Jerry Brown). To me, Meg Whitman is a liar who says one thing to group A and the opposite to group B. She is the typical politician who talks out of both ends of mouth.
Moreover, having a governor almost matters nothing because they only have the power to veto and pass the laws that are presented to them. The governor does not manufacture laws. The governor doesn't have the power to follow through with any campaign promises. All the promises are drivel. They can only say yes or no. The people with the real power are in the legislature and the ones who actual do work are the staffers for those legislators because they actually write the laws that are voted on and passed. The legislation are the things that directly impact us.
So, if you want to do something for Ca vote with your mind and don't listen to any commercials!!!!! (I think the TV ads are about as factual as a North Korean history book written by their supreme leader).
I really want to see some fat cat politicians lose their jobs like the 15% of actually hard working people who have lost theirs. I hate hearing about the private sector decreasing, while the pubic sector increases (when it it increases, it is like the blob just overtaking everything, both literally and figuratively. The government seems to only grow and take control of more and more things). With too many politicians, that when they sit their idle create new programs and ways to spend tax money.
I am angry with what passes as a representative democracy currently. Things need to change and they can change if the people hold the politicians responsible for their inaction and ineptitude. Most of use would lose our jobs or go out of business if we were as ineffective. I think CA's record and decline is evidence enough that all the current politicians are completely awful at their jobs. (If there are good ones, they don't speak loud enough to be heard by me).
I just want to see some positive change.
