That's why we stopped going to Mexico years ago

That's why I don't go to California or Illinois. Dangerous country out there. There was a shooting in my hometown last evening. McAllen, Texas which is about ten miles from the border is one of the safest cities in the United States.

Depends on which part of California we're talking about. California's a big state

It was a joke. Sorry that you didn't get it. Both great states have their safe as well as dangerous areas. Painting an entire country or state with fear is too common today.

No worries, and the state of California is the biggest joke. The problem is, and I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat, is that one party has been completely wiped out, in this case the Republican party. That's not healthy for any state as there is now no debate on anything. The Democrats now have a Super-Majority in the legislature and pass whatever laws or taxes they want.

Ron3rd: You need to move to some other (Red?) state...:)

The decrease in population (of CA) would be great - really help if you take your friends, acquaintances and kin folk along. If they're not in CA, be sure to tell them to "stay put".

Thanks in advance.....and for this thread.... "Adios!"

So you're good with the 12 cent a gallon gas tax nobody voted on? An 20 cents for diesel? Vehicle registration went up too. So if they need money for something in Sacramento, you're OK if they just raise your taxes, right? You don't want a say in it?

Here it is:

On April 6, 2017, the California State Legislature passed the Road Repair and Accountability Act (RRAA) by a two-thirds margin, raising taxes on gasoline by 12¢ per gallon, taxes on diesel by 20¢ per gallon tax, and it raised annual vehicle registration fees from $25-$175.
