The Fella used to live in California (actually lived there twice) and I don’t remember it being as radical as it is now because it was not as radical as it is now.
The second time I lived there (1990 to 2000) I read a lot of articles in the newspapers about the high number of people from California that were moving out of California. The legislators in California looked at the large number of people who were leaving and said, “We can do better!”
Silly me, I thought they meant they could take action to slow the Exodus. I was wrong about what I thought they were thinking. What they meant by saying “We can do better” was that not enough were leaving and they could and should get more to leave.
Many of my Dear Readers are Lawyers. Below I have posted three Legality Questions for you Lawyering People to ponder.
The people who rule California seem to have moved from Silly and Confused to Open Rebellion against these United States of America...
Ø Is this Legal?...Lawmakers from California have proposed a bill that would compel companies making more than $1 million from the recently passed Federal Tax Reform Legislation to turn over half their tax-cut savings to the State of California.
Ø Is this Legal?...The State Senate President Pro Tem has introduced legislation that would allow Californians to get around the State and Local Tax Cap, which is part of the recently passed Federal Tax Reform Legislation, by making a voluntary donation to a charitable fund created by the state of any amount of owed taxes above the $10,000 cap. That donation — in lieu of taxes — would allow donors to write off the gifts on their Federal Tax Returns.
Ø Is this Legal?...The State Attorney General warned employers in California that they must comply with a New California Law that limits their cooperation with Federal Immigration Officials. He said, if they assist Federal Immigration Officials in any crackdown in the State of California, they will face fines of up to $10,000 from the State of California.
It looks to the Fella as if California is doing its level best to remove “United” from the United States of America.

Lagniappe: Follow The Money. I wonder who or what entity will benefit from the “charitable fund created by the state” in bullet #2 above.
