Here's something to think about.

We are approaching some dangerous lines in America, lines that have never before been approached. Socialist experiments like California and Massachusetts can exist without massive social upset because people can vote with their feet and flee these worker’s paradises. Until recently, the prosperity of the rest of the nation has allowed the statists to avoid the inevitable consequences of their idiotic, stuck in the 60’s beliefs. But the bills are coming due, and it is entirely possible for entire states to go bankrupt, with California not inching, but racing toward bankruptcy. The danger is that the entire nation might go socialist. In that case, only the very rich will be able to flee the worker’s paradise, taking all of the means of creating wealth and innovation with them, leaving the rest of us to the tender ministrations of such as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Yesterday, the Massachuetts Taxpayers Foundation released its forecast for fiscal 2011, which begins July 1. Despite a hefty increase in the sales tax the state is facing a $3 billion shortfall, about 10-15%.

The farmer, philosopher, historian and commentator Victor Davis Hanson shows how California is leading the nation down the drain.

To be equal, those who work and produce have to surrender the advantages they have worked to secure for themselves and their families and share them with those who have done neither.

For equality.
