CNN: "Silicon Valley investor: Split California into 6 states"

[Mr. Somebody]

Considering that many of the people obsessed with these ideas are extremely rich themselves, yes, I think that's part of it, friend.

But you won't hear any of them admit that. It's so demonic, friend.

Whats even more demonic is after they deprive people of funds based on where they live they will open stores and push products to them in an effort to crush the local economy that these states will probably need to become more economically independent.

I think my favorite part of this is liberals telling rich people how the liberals are gonna spend the rich peoples money. The even better part is that people don't see any problems with this. @Mr. Somebody I think you make a little too much money and you're money would better be utilized in Massachusetts. How about you transfer me $100 every week. I can use your money better than you can.

If this was truely the United States of America and the central government saw a place where funds were needed, i wouldnt mind but rich people that live in rich neighborhoods really need to just hush while we have so much poverty in this nation. They're so greedy that they cant see letting these wounds of inequality and deprivation fester is going to crush them in the long run. History shows this. People ask nice, then they beg, then they TURN UP

The assumption that all money earned is done so all by oneself such that absolute ownership is justified while taxes that improve the social structures that facilitated those earnings are not is the real issue here.

Quit being greedy. Give me $100 a week. I need it.

See how this works? This is what you are expecting of the rich people. Just because they have the means doesn't mean its justified.

I agree with you, and those rich guys do pay their taxes. The reason for separating Cali into 6 states would be to better fund their own areas. Cali is long. Basically runs Virginia to Florida. How can such a large government be efficient and use their tax base well over such a large distance? All this guy wants is for the financial prosperity to be more focused where he lives. I don't see anything wrong with that.

The rich and their corporations get more government subsidies than any other economic class.

The rich and their corporations get more government subsidies than any other economic class.

They also produce the most wealth for the country as well so whats your point? Giving subsidies to uneducated folks would most likely lead to a failed end product. Giving them to educated and successful people tends to breed more success.

 

[Poitier]

False. The middleclass and poor who work for the wealthy *produce* most of the countries wealth.

Ok. Rich people *facilitate* production. Without someone else's money most corporations wouldn't exist. Most small businesses fail. Who starts most small businesses? The middle class and poor people. So they should get more subsidies to keep failing? Makes sense.

That's a government policy issue and not some inherent difference between corporations and small businesses. Guess who controls government policy? The word plutocracy doesn't exist for no reason.

Oh its a government policy issue?

This plan is the very opposite of what California needs. The plan's implementation would see California splitting into lare rich and poor states, with the latter population zones unable to collect enough taxes to support programs and government. California's tax base is the rich who reside there and if said people were to disappear, the resulting ruination would be devastating. This investor plan is merely a scheme for the rich to escape the plan, and won't help the majority of Californians in the long run. Rather than support this foolhardy endeavor, representatives should look for other ways to increase voter representation at the local level. Perhaps give the local representatives more power?

@ all the absolutes being thrown about regarding "rich people", which i'm sure is liberal code for "CEO", unless you guys really think actors and athletes are greedy capitalist clawing their wealth from society...

 

[DEAD7]

O i get it, friend. The rich have fleeced friends and now want to isolate themselves economically from people/infrastructure they no longer want to fund in any shape or form.

That could be a very cold future where land ownership is scarce and the rich have economically segregated themselves to sectors where only people who make a very high amount of money can live while everyone else, gets poorer and dumber. Historically, this is a good way to start forms of chaos.

Its so demonic, friend.

"The rich have fleeced friends"

Thats one hell of a blanket statement

and economics segregate, people need not exert any effort.

 

[Serious]

I don't blame them for proposing this split... the progressive majority in CA. has left California in financial ruin.

If I were the rich i'd just leave and let the state die... its obviously what the democratic super majority in CA. want.

you know central california and southern california(daygo area) would become extremely racist
