Raising Taxes

Sounds easy to do, and the politicians promise the financial problems will be solved.  We are in Needles California, and right across the Colorado River from a place called Bullhead City Arizona.  If you have heard that taxes are crazy here in California, and the costs are high,  that is correct.  Needles is "drying up" and Bullhead thrives, and the only difference is the taxes.  Fuel for our motorhomes has been $5.199 per gallon, and regular gas $4.999 in Needles.  Right across the border, fuel is $3.879, and the gas about $3.579.  It is sad to see this town, and realistically the economy of California in trouble.  The roads around here are rougher than any roads we have encountered as we cross the U.S.  The Ford dealer moved to the Arizona side of the river.  Many of the towns here are going bankrupt, and the effects of heavy taxation has even caused the ultra liberal Bill Maher to threatening to move out of California.  The rich have the resources to move, and the poor just get poorer as the sources of revenue diminish!  This State is nuts!  -- Enough
