Those Californicators

Victor Davis Hanson’s take on why I am seeing so many California license plates in the H.E.B. parking lot these days. Because they’re leaving the West Coast, at the rate of at least 2,000 to 3,000 a week:

“…a state that has the highest sales and income taxes, the most lavish entitlements, the near-worst public schools (based on federal test scores), and the largest number of illegal aliens in the nation, along with an over-regulated private sector, a stagnant and shrinking manufacturing base, and an elite environmental ethos that restricts commerce and productivity without curbing consumption.”

This time we better all pray these California trends are NOT the wave of the future.

  1. All those foreign license plates – how many belong to people who voted for the crapulous people and things that made them want to leave their state, and come to Texas, and try to do it again here?

    Reminds me of that old bumper sticker: “We don’t care how you did it up north.”

  2. Heh. Good point. Except the biennial sessions and the late 19th century constitutional rewrite will slow them down a lot. My own old favorite sticker was : “Let ’em freeze in the dark.”

  3. But the climate, you can’t beat the climate! Actually, San Francisco sucks as far as weather is concerned…
