Everyone knows that California has serious financial problems. They have high taxes on almost everything and they had problems paying out money owed in tax refunds and were giving employees and contractors IOU's becasue they couldn't afford to pay them on time. The state has closed offices, forced employees to take unpaid furloughs, and cut services.
Now, they are preparing legislation that will give illegal immigrants financial aid - state scholarships, grants, and in-state tuition rates.
Taxpayer dollars going to pay to give college educations to people that cannot even legally get a job when they graduate. They are filling their colleges with illegal immigrants when their own citizens are struggling to get the money to pay for and qualify for those same slots.

It is time for California taxpayers to recognize that if they do not revolt now, they might as well flee this sinking ship before it goes under and there is nothing left.

Right now they cannot legally vote anyway. Of course, CA does not have a law requiring they show up at the polls with proof of citizenship the way AZ and several other states do.

The rich ARE fleeing the sinking ship...the poor are demanding more services and the illegals are moving in to glean it all...This is california after all. How is this any different than it has been?

Well when you have a ship that is slowly sinking you at least TRY to patch things; you don't run around punching bigger holes in it.
The state is going to go under a lot faster and conditions are going to get a LOT worse.
