The welfare state inhibits the maturation of its young citizens into responsible adults

Those who believe in nothing are very, very jealous and angry at those who believe in something.

The right wing walks the walk; the left wing taxes the people that walk the walk

The more passions you have the happier you'll be

Those who don't fight evil hate those who do; and those who don't fight real evils make up little evils

If pain were water, the world would drown

Virtually throughout its history, and certainly in the 20th century, California has been known as the place to go for dynamism and growth. It did not become the richest, most populous, and most productive state solely because of its weather and natural resources. So it takes a lot to turn California around from growth to contraction, from people moving into the state to a net exodus from the state, from business moving into California to businesses leaving California. It takes some doing. And the Left has done it.
