Can you tell me how much the "fair share" of the rich is? I've been considering this concept for many years and have made little progress in defining it. Every time I ask someone, the only answer they can come up with is "more", which ain't too helpful. Also, can you tell me how much "rich" is. always, tony libhomo,

The Arizona governor offered to set up to renegotiate the electric poweer deal for the southern California folks. Arizona would be quite willing to refrain from exporting electrons to California...

Regardless of whether you agree with Arizona's new law or not, California is not judge, jury, and executioner sent by God Himself to protect the world, especially not from itself. Arizona businesses would probably have gotten stiffed anyways. ROTFLMAO

Nor can you tax your way there, either. Probably oughta do a name change to Oopsie.

Let's tax people more. If you look at the root of the budget shortfalls in almost every city in California the cities themselves are to blame hand in hand with the unionized workers. What is happening with automatic mandatory raises forced by layoffs which force more layoffs is absolute lunacy. Take also into account the issue of the overtaxing of the healthcare and social services of California by undocumented residents and you get a serious liberal stew that is a self perpetuating financial cesspool. Once you have eaten all the cake the only thing left is what comes out the other end, and right now in California there is not a crumb to be found. If only it was that easy. Let’s tax people more.
