I always opposed Arnold’s political career, beginning with his pet initiative in 2002, Prop. 49, that goosed spending $500 million. He claimed that, for every $1 spent on the new programs, $3 would be saved for taxpayers.
Ever hear of a government program that worked that way? If that’s the way things worked, Obama’s $2 trillion “bailout” ripoff would be “saving” us $6 trillion — leading to the total elimination of taxes. Government “spending” that “saves” tax money is the ultimate perpetual motion machine.
In 2003, Arnold promised to oppose all new taxes, and was elected governor. In 2006, voters put him back in office. I opposed him every time, knowing he was just an Austrian socialist who married into American royalty, the socialist Kennedy family.
April Fool!
Now here we are, April Fool’s Day 2009, and his $12.5 billion in massive tax increases is kicking in. The average family will pay a couple thousand dollars more in taxes every year — unless they leave the state. I expect a large number will, further reducing the tax base — and leading to yet more tax increases. Our sales and income taxes, already the highest in Amerika, now are even higher.
To paraphrase Joni Mitchell, Arnold tore down paradise and put up a massive tax state.
Time to Revolt – Recall – Repeal!!

Dr. Seiler sir,
“You always get what you pay for!” a wise person once said. Well, we pay Arnold $1 buck a year…
so you really can’t expect much. This was a guy
that always wanted to compete. When his buddy
Jesse Ventura became Governor of Minnesota….it
ate him up! Hey, Jesse was just a bit player in
one of his best movies “The Predator!”.
Well, that was then and this is now. Arnold has a 38% approval rating in the middle of the worse
economic crisis in California history! We might
look back on that number in four years and say:
“Hey, that wasn’t that bad!” So, here is the
Arnold, with his beautiful First Lady Maria and his lovely family….and you gotta ask yourself just one question: “What do you want Arnold? Egg in your beer?”
President Obama may just answer that when Arnold
leaves office in 2010. Arnold is not going away..or going back to movies. Arnold has tasted
that “Big Director in the Sky” stuff…..and he
wants more. A lot more! Don’t count out Arnold even when all his Propositions in May fail badly.
It is going to be a very intersting story when
Arnold retires from the Governor’s Mansion, believe us!!!
I suppose you are better off in South Carolina or Texas.
PROPOSE AN ALTERNATIVE AND SHOW HOW IT’LL WORK!!!!
John, can you get an answer from Gary Miller why he voted for the big bailout last Fall?
