"Everyone agrees that we have a structural deficit problem. We spend $20 billion more than we take in year after year, for as far as the eye can see. Taxing your doctor, accountant, your mortician, your beautician you name it! will only increase the cost of services and the cost of living. This guarantees that health care will cost more at a time when everyone from Obama down says it is already too high. And asking for a federal handout for those costs is not a reasonable solution.
A million taxpayers have already voted with their feet and left California. More people are leaving the state than coming in. Foreclosure rates continue at record highs, with employment at record lows. Yet the Governors speech sounded like business as usual."
