Coming to a state near you if we continue to vote for officials who propose the constant barrage of failed, dangerous, and costly policies. This from one of the highest taxed states in the country. And the leader of this failed state wants to be your next president bless his heart. California used to be THE standard, the Golden State. Now?

So is this misleading or is it a lie? How can a claim of $0 deficit be truthful when the state owes the federal government for unemployment insurance? In fact, the only state as of last year's filing. I know debt and deficit aren't the same but it seems to me you can't bash Trump if Trump bailed your irresponsible butt out yet again. Pay your bills and then let's talk about deficits. Bless your heart.

A few things to consider if you have never seen these trees before.
1. This tree was felled by skilled loggers using a tool that was commonplace then. As skilled loggers you can be assured that the saw was ultra sharp and stayed that way.
2. This is from a time when men were men and knew it. Way before OSHA too I might add.
3. Those giant trees are not especially hard to cut. The wood isn't extremely dense like ash or maple used to make modern day baseball bats.
4. The colorized touch makes this look suspect but I have seen these giants, walked on one that was cut down and the stump was made into a dance floor. I've seen other similar photos and this is surprisingly very possible and more than probable.

@PaddyPhilly @nut_history @DeionSanders @BoJackson Pearls of knowledge there. They weren't just super-human, they were truly fun to watch as they dominated their sport. One could argue they didn't dominate baseball but I say if you got to the bigs, you dominated somewhere along the way. Plus did I mention they were fun to watch?

@cragop @GBRA2023 @CAGOP @CAgovernor Help me understand this. The governor gets to pick winners and losers in the market based on feelings? I get it, people are paying too much and that could well be an all day discussion all by itself. But that age old adage comes to mind, "when you're pointing fingers, how many are pointing back at you?" 👇

Wasn't the ruling 9 -0? How can you make this a credible argument if there is no dissention in the ruling? I've told others this and it bears repeating, paraphrasing Proverbs chapter 17 verse 28: It is better to not post and appear to be a fool than to start typing and remove all doubt.

[Greg Perrone @PerroneGreg]

You made an excellent point that I think most people overlook. A declining education is a huge threat to our national security. How?
👉Less capable workforce domestically meaning we need more imports of just about everything.
👉Lower ability to compete on a global stage which will result in lowering exports of what we can produce
👉Lower skilled positions translating to lower wages translating to more debt.
👉More debt means we are beholden to someone, oftentimes not friendly to us
👉Behold is not an enviable position, it is tantamount to economic slavery

Listen carefully to what Gov. Newsom said and compare that to what you see.
A few things come to mind:
1. A tax holiday would be short term relief for Californias. He'd rather keep feeding the government at the expense of working families. Please show me if this is incorrect.
2. Who in their right mind is proud of unaffordable gas? This is not big oil screwing Californians, this is California elected officials screwing Californians and blaming big oil.
3. Does he want working families to suffer intentionally or just be collateral damage to unbelievably disastrous policy? Which of these 2 options is worse?

Newsom again shuts down gas tax holiday amid skyrocketing fuel prices in California https://t.co/hmWutbUVK3

Hmm, if you didn't ram Prop 50 through the legislature without committee hearings or spend millions and millions of taxpayer dollars supporting Prop 50 you might be able to complain with sincerity. Oh wait, if you didn't suspend the state's constitution to rig (I'm sorry, gerrymander) election cycles for years to come, your complaint might be valid. Glass houses and stone throwing come to mind here. So there is that, bless your heart.

[Greg Perrone @PerroneGreg]

May I suggest a lesson in taxation far less expensive than any college and more valuable than any economic course? Everyone should go to their employer's payroll department and change their W-4 tax withholding form to EXEMPT just for a month and see how much YOU ACTUALLY earn. The difference is astounding and shows exactly how much you feed the corrupt beast that is the government. Whether it's $50 or $500, I guarantee you can use that extra to better serve your family than the government can. Now, multiply that difference out over a year. Get the picture?
👉DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR W-4 BACK AFTER THE MONTH.

Please define free. Somebody is paying for these things. If this is not the case, please chime in. If by free you mean take more from hard earned wages via taxes and fees, then I concede. It's free stuff. If by free you mean make business owners pay more thereby driving up costs, then I concede. It's free stuff.

[Greg Perrone @PerroneGreg]

Your argument is once again misleading in limiting the qualifier to Federal Income Tax. These and all other businesses pay through the nose as it were to stay in business, hire and pay tax paying employees who in turn are consumers paying more taxes and fees, provide taxable goods and services. So using your logic, Federal Unemployment Tax doesn't count? They pay that. One half of employees Social Security doesn't count? They pay that too. Sales and use tax doesn't count? Oh yeah, they pay that too. Worker's Comp doesn't count? Yup, you guessed it, employer paid. Regulatory fees specific to industries do not count? They don't pay themselves now. Employee benefits don't count? That's right, raise income tax so they can't pay for these.

What you mean to say to tax paying citizens is our government has a spending problem and companies should be taxed to the brink of not making a profit to satisfy the beast. And by the way, taxing the rich if I may borrow your mantra hurts the ones that can least afford the added cost of excessive taxation.

So have you been misleading us all along or are you lying to us now?

[Greg Perrone @PerroneGreg]

I challenge you to find a more stark yet accurate contrast! On one hand we have American ingenuity and exceptional talent. On the other??? California grift and failed leadership. The sad reality is we did this to ourselves. We voted for this crap. Or more to the point, we didn't do enough to elect competent governance. Vote smarter, vote your values, vote @CAGOP @CRAGOP Republican! Remember, elections have consequences. Sometimes disastrous ones.

@WhiteHouse Where are the pictures of the US. Men's, U.S. Women's, and U.S Paralympic Hockey Teams?
American Exceptionalism.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@filosophymajor @CBSSacramento At last count according to the government, not internet memes, there are 9 refineries operating. So nice try there.

As for Arizona being #1, let's review.
To paraphrase Mark Twain,

@TeamSteveHilton
Now every man, woman, child, and whatever other gender you want to identify as OWES about $450 to the state in addition to what we've already "donated." Who thinks this is a good idea? I know who. The representatives we elected. California does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. California has enough money, what it doesn't have is enough competency in government. What it doesn't have is leadership.

[Greg Perrone @PerroneGreg]

You make some good points of discussion, but one thing is still unclear. Why hasn't the Oil and Gas industry stabbed states like Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado, Montana and on and on in the back? Is it at all possible there's incompetent leadership in Sacramento at play?🤔

[Greg Perrone @PerroneGreg]

@maziehirono Oh crap, I find myself agreeing with a leftist.
Although wouldn't it be hilarious if President Trump changed his name for a few days to Don King?😂😂😂
Then we'd have a king for a president.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Greg Perrone @PerroneGreg]

@WeTheBrandon Well, you're probably not wrong.
But I hope you are. History has a terrible way of repeating itself.
