"'You vote for revenue and your career is over.' I don't know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it's about free speech, but it's extremely unfair." -- Liberal tax-and-spend House Speaker Karen Bass.
Bass has the whole world already laughing -- or crying -- about her "legislation," bankrupting the eighth largest economy in the world, bigger than hundreds of other countries. I am ashamed that such a large and great body politic has such a mental midget in a position of power and responsibility and that she has so humbled the state, the Legislature and herself in the process.
Stopping fools like her through legitimate political activity is not "terrorism." I can see how such soft-headed thinking got our late, great state in so much trouble. Could it be that the La Raza folks are right after all and that they should take California back?
Maybe Bass has it backwards and the government is actually -- economically and politically -- "terrorizing" the people, whom they are supposed to be working for.
When you vote for so much revenue that economic activity is severely curtailed, then you pile absurd regulation and hostility to business on top of that, then increase spending $20, $30, $40 billion above all that, then, yes, your career should be over.
I won't call Bass "speaker" until she shows some respect for the taxpayers.
Come to our Ventura Tea Party on Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Ventura County Government Center and see what terrorists we are.
