dust...

Watson to voters: fuck you non patriot dumbasses who didn't vote for me!! hey right back at ya, Tommy
geez, some people are too thick I guess to understand California, including Watson..the dude is a crybaby. He complained about his election loss, in where else, the News-Press. He listed all the Teabagger complaints about small businesses and pensions for public employees..
all the while ignoring the tax loopholes for the corporations, corporate welfare, and a litany of sky-is-falling political jibberish...all from a guy who tried to intimidate student voters and who lied about taking gov't subsidies and who gets a military pension!!
ok, so are small business leaving California as Watson claims? Here's his take: small business doesn't have a voice at the table, instead, it is on the menu.....he said that, not me... again with the big bad government stuff..well, I went to a small business, 7/11, to get a paper and coffee Sunday morn..I checked out Carp and all storefronts are filled with small businesses...These are folks who work everyday to provide goods for us and make a profit if they are successful..they are not crying and holding up the white flag of surrender...they are business people..and there are business cycles..some fail and some succeed..there are no guarantees..that's life...
California has 3,320,977 small businesses, according to the most current federal data available....some will leave. some will stay...and they will continue to offer economic opportunity to diverse groups of people, from ag and food service, to real estate and scientific..so all this harping about business leaving California is a bunch of selective cherry picking and padded numbers..the dot.com bubble burst because people got greedy, not because of gov't regulation!!
and then there are gov't workers who aren't interested so much in profits, but providing essential services like water, sewer, cops and fire...that takes professionals who are career minded..they have been doing these jobs forever and have been retiring with pensions, so it's not an issue all of a sudden unless you happen to be conservative...connies have been trying to raid pensions forever..what they should be doing is investing a portion of their employees pay into a retirement account like PERS...of course, they would have to work to keep Wall Street honest, but it would benefit everyone..if you don't have any savings and you are in your 40s or 50s.... that's your own fault..PERIOD!
now, California is not a poor state but does have a deficit and budget problems...just like America..just like all those teabaggers and cons who voted for Bush and Arnold TWICE!! If the alternative candidates had won, we wouldn't be a debtor nation..ahh, but we gotta have wars and salute all those soldiers every five minutes who get sent off to fight, come back maimed, and are handed trinkets by the very people who sent them!!
America has gotten stupid in the last eight years.... ignoring the Wall Street fraud, pretending we are a capitalist nation while owing 800 billion to a trillion dollars to China...capitalism doesn't mean spending ourselves into debt...capitalism, if done right, should mean freedom!!! the only way to make us smarter is start adding "smart dust" to jet contrails....that way everyone will benefit...
we all need to be dusted!!

if elected officials are owned by corporations, they won't raise necessary taxes on those corps; if non-profits are allowed to collect billions and avoid income and property taxes, then we will continue to have budget issues;
and if guys like Tom Watson continue crying, California will have to start a day care center for conservatives who can't cut it in the real world...
