Socialism -the reality.

Proof.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s $9,000,000 mansion in Marin County.

Socalism, in theory is a good system of governance. But in reality, humans being what they are, it does not work out that way. The elites, the politicians in control, take more of the resources collected (read taxes) by the masses who voted them in, for themselves, in sweet deals and sometimes just outright fraud. They live the good life, drive fancy luxuary cars, eat out in expensive restaurants, wear designer clothes, go on expensive vacations to tropical islands, and live in mansions, while the people they benevolently govern live in shacks or slum apartments. Because that is all they can afford. They are taxed on everything. Property taxes, sales tax, income tax, death tax, permits to fix or upgrade your property and house is just another form of tax. And I’m sure there are a lot more taxes they have imposed on us. We are just a resource to suck dry for their benefit, so their lives will be comfortable.

Homeless camps are popping up all over cities in California for many different reasons. Mental health, frug addiction, and housing costs have sky rocketed, with rent sky high.

People clinging to their houses but have no money to repair them. They are just one step (some just one month or paycheck) away from living in a tent on the street.

Low income slum apartments are where a lot of people end up when they lose their house to tax forfeiture and tax seizure. And it’s not the IRS, it’s the state franchise tax board. They are heartless, they don’t care about people, their sole purpose is to suck money from the masses, and if they can’t get your money they will take your house or land. Just look at the mansion that the governor lives in. The inequality is staggering.

‘The way they suck us in is insidious, like Obamacare. Big subsidies, then after they have hooked you, covered California takes over…basically welfare. Just one more way to get you sucking on the government tit. Free food, medi-Cal, all those government freebies are just the beginning of socialism, and before you know it…communism. Total control of the people by the government, eventually we won’t know who is pulling the strings of the politicians, just some faceless beauocrat with an unknown agenda, until it is too late to get out from under their grip. Just like what happened to Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution. A vicious dictator took over. Sure, every one had a job, everyone was equal, except in reality the elites in charge lived in luxury and didn’t have to worry about their next meal.

so we are not the Soviet Union, we are California, but if it continues down this terrible path it is leading us down…we will become much different than we thought we were promised we would get. Read your history books, pay attention. This is serious stuff. Once we are in their grip, we are lost. It took the people of the Soviet Union 7o years before they broke free from communism. And like I said, we are not the Soviet Union, but what ever we become, it will still be bad. It already is. But we haven seen it get really bad yet, but it will, if history is right. And history always repeats itself. Maybe differently, not quite the same, but are you prepared to take the risk? Solalism doesn’t work, never has, never will. And I don’t really want us to be a book on the shelf for future generations to study about the failure of socialism, when all the student has to do is read about Russia. I want to read the chapter that talks about how fabulous California was and still is, not a train wreck waiting to happen in slow motion like it is now.

go out and vote!
