Interesting article from Fox News
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/07/03/county-supervisor-proposes-51st-state-cut-out-southern-california/?test=latestnews
Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone is bringing up the proposal.
It is hard to believe that the motion would actually go anywhere, but I would dare to say that it would have many followers among the people of the counties Mr. Stone is calling for secession.
Unfortunately, the actual will of the people means practically nothing in this state.
California has been hijacked by liberal progressives for a long time now, literally run by activists and lobbyists, overrun by illegal aliens and allegedly led by a group of state politicians who, regardless of political and party affiliation, have nothing more that their personal gain and power as guiding interest.
What was once the 7th economic power in the world is today reduced to nothing more than an overcrowded welfare state.
From in-state tuition for illegal aliens to EPA regulations killing our economy, California has ceased to be a place where people went to for economic improvement.
The housing market and construction industry at a depression level, manufacturing and similar industries in pretty much the same conditions has swelled the ranks of those seeking help from the State. Hard working people who saw their livelihood disappear are now standing in line shoulder to shoulder with those who have been milking the system for years.
Large franchises, like Carl's Junior, planning to open up over 500 new franchises across the nation, but none in California, thanks to the state freaks who want to regulate anything under the sun, including what we eat.
Jobs for teenagers, which historically included fast food business and similar, are today being sought by older workers desperate for any kind of employment. The unemployment rate for teens in California is one of the highest in the nation at about 33%, increasing the chances that many teens would drop out of school and many ending up in the justice system.
Thousands of acres of central California, once producers of a large portion of agricultural products, remain arid thanks to the Fish and Wildlife placing a 2-inch fish on the endangered species list.
Business leave California at an average of 6 per week, entrepreneurs looking at other states that offer more friendly environment to them.
And while the state continues to slide into economic devastation, the Sacramento Clown governor just signed a budget that is a farce after legislators complained that they were not getting paid, thanks to a proposition passed by the people. So they passed a travesty of a budget, basically anything so that their salaries would be dispensed again.
Sup. Stone has a good idea, even if it being laughed at by the Clown Brown office. I wish the people would have a real voice in the matter.
Just my thoughts!
