The California Economy

The California economy is devastated inadequacy of Left-Wing Liberal policies! The Real Estate Market has plundged. Corporate Profits are shrinking year over year. High Income households are moving out of California. Remaining businesses, income tax payers and homeowners are being forced to pay more in costs, fees, and gasoline taxes as a result of the policies of this Legislature and overall government. Each of these contributes largely to a deficit of tens of billions of dollars in the projected California Budget for 2008-09. Unfortunately, these problems persist because this Legislature never sees itself as the problem.

One way to reduce the Budget by 12-20% would cut every agency’s Budget allocation by making all public agencies tax and fee exempt. Currently public agencies are forced to repay the government in gas & sales taxes and fees from their budget allocations each time they make a product and/or service purchase. This exemption would cut billions of dollars from public agency budgets without having to downsize one employee or disenfranchise one student in order to meet any budget constraint. The State Budget deficit would automatically be reduce by that same amount.

The Legislature needs to reduce its addictive dependence on income taxes as the single largest source of revenue (55% according to the Governor's office). This would reduce part of the enormous downward pressure from the value of the dollar (because of the size of California's economy at $1.6 trillion) and significantly increase real property values in California and slightly reduce gas prices. Currently, California rakes in a hefty 59 cents per gallon of gas compared to about 9 cents per gallon to the oil companies. California must reduce its usurious cut to no more than 4 cents per gallon. This will immediately reduce the price of gasoline by more than 50 per gallon on the retail side. We need to petition the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to increase the margins (cash down payment) on a contract of Crude Oil from the current 10 percent to about 40 percent. This will further reduce the price of gasoline to below $2 per gallon.

California must restrain itself - for a change - by establishing a tax rate and fee cap statewide for any subordinate public jurisdiction’s revenues. We must freeze, reduce, and eliminate all state and local taxation on real property. If these ideas are implemented, then revenues to the State would increase more than what is needed to conduct the State's business. No longer will their be a need for to "strong arm" a percentage of income from residents and businesses in order to continually destroy the California with Left-Wing Liberal policies.

Other benefits include more long term small business opportunities for community members in their communities. Even the poor would increase their standard of living and no longer need the California Legislature focusing on ways to make them "feel" comfortable in their poverty. The cost of living would decrease and the quality of living would increase because of increased buying power and net worth. The consumer demand for higher quality goods and services at more competitive prices would also be prevalent.

The Real Crooks of Illegal Immigration



The following people are to be blamed for illegal immigration into the United States from Mexico...



Manlio Fabio Beltrones

President of the Mexican Senate

Senate Leader of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI)



Ruth Zavaleta Salgado

President of the Mexican Chamber or Deputies

Founding member and Party leader of the PRD



Santiago Creel

Mexican Senater, Party Leader (PAN)

(former Vice President of Mexico under Former President Mexico, Vicenté Fox)



Felipe Calderón

President of Mexico

National Action Party (PAN)


Along with their predecessors, their cronies, their elites who benefit from their socialist government control, and their political Party's corrupt influence, they have used illegal immigration to reek havoc in the U.S.



“Each Mexican who has emigrated represents one disintegrated home in Mexico,” said Edmundo Ramirez Martinez, deputy of Mexico’s Secretary of the Commission of Population, Border and Immigration Issues.



These illegal aliens above are of the highest economically, socially and politically productive ages. They are not allowed to remain in their home country to become Firemen, Policemen, Doctors, Teachers, small business entrepreneurs, and community activists. They are not allowed to mature their Constitutional Republic, grow their economy, and sustain civilized communities in Mexico. Instead they are expelled by the Mexican Government to the U.S. to work in agriculture fields, day labor camps, in restaurants, hotel room maintenance and other low skilled, low paying jobs in the United States. Because they are so deprived at home, their families either starve, join drug gangs, or earnestly wait for that illegal alien to send back huge portions of their minimum wage to that impoverished family in Mexico. As the money moves back to their families, it is heavily syphoned in the form of taxes by the rich elite socialists who control Mexico through their corrupt banking system.



The Mexican government should be blamed exclusively for the expulsion of their citizens. Government officials have composed government revenues so that only a few elite benefit from the governments financial windfall of government income generated from remittances of illegal aliens in the United States while the earners and intended recipients are ripped off continually and without sympathy.



The Mexican States of Oaxaca, Michoacan, and Zacatecas have aided and abetted the expulsion of 20 -50 percent of their (mostly male) populations to the United States while women are largely left alone to fend for themselves and their children. Mexico’s future Firemen, Policemen, Doctors, Teachers, and small business entrepreneurs, and community activists with Mexican leaders never being blamed while Conservatives shouldering unearned blame. Many Fathers are not in the community being the protector and foundation of their families. Their absence exposes these women and children to all kinds of danger and poor health. In order to cater to elites abroad, some Mexican states have even passed laws that allow illegal aliens in the U.S. to run for office in Mexico while living in the U.S.



California's public policy should be to apply as much pressure on the Mexican government and their U.S. supporters as possible to influence Mexican domestic policy and encourage repatriation of their citizens. California must publicly hold Mexican elected leaders and their Left-Wing Liberal apologists (aka progressives) in the U.S. accountable in both the U.S. and Mexico for the economic and environmental, and political devastation for which they are directly responsible.



We must encourage and support Mexicans to organize, march, and protest, the Mexican government and make demands similar to those that they make in the U.S. for better wages, better health, safety, and education. Civil Rights organizations will be set up to advance constitutional changes to give Mexicans the same freedom and prosperity they seek in the U.S.



This prescribed effort will reduce illegal immigration and sustain that lowering effort while raising the interests of the average Mexican in Mexico.
