      <![CDATA[The era of big government may be back in California but the trend is toward smaller government in most states.  California may be raising taxes but that doesn't mean its citizens will stay there and pay them.  California is rapidly becoming a state with only three classes of people…the very rich, middle class public employees and those on welfare.  Middle class private sector workers, as well as businesses, are being driven out and relocating to other states for an assortment of reasons.  Nearly 4 million more people have left the state for other states over the past 20 years than have moved into California from other states.<br>
<br>
California ranks last in the number of emergency rooms per million people thanks to the Democratic Party's intentions to use immigration and illegal aliens for party building instead of nation building.<br>
<br>
California's state budget has declined from 126 billion to 86 billion in only a few years and is still out of balance.<br>
<br>
California is now being described as a state in transition from rich to poor all compliments of Barack Obama's and the Democratic Party's outdated, outmoded 100 hundred year old Keynesian economic model, driven by an intensely neurotic hatred of the wealthy person!<br>
<br>
California may have used to set the standard but not any more!
