Hollywood the City of dreams No more..

[rayg]

Hollywood the City of dreams No more and Gold's Gym had become synonymous with the Hollywood Dream.

Once Gold's was the backdrop for Pumping Iron, the 1977 documentary which followed a young, unknown Austrian bodybuilder called Arnold Schwarzenegger as he prepared for the Mr Universe contest.

Now it's Hollywood's Apocalypse NOW: Rich and famous are fleeing in droves as liberal politics and coronavirus turn City of Dreams into cesspit plagued by junkies and violent criminals

The film turned him into an overnight sensation. He would go on to become a global superstar, marry a member of the Kennedy clan, and become Governor of California.

But today Gold's sits amid post-apocalyptic scenes which have consumed much of LA, turning the City of Dreams into an urban nightmare from which people are fleeing in droves and today a makeshift tent city made up of flapping tarpaulins and cardboard boxes surrounds the gym on all sides.

AND NOW, the Democrats want to extend their control over the rich. The are now backing a new law that would allow them to TAX the wealth of people who are moving out of the state for ten years after they move away. ( Say WHAT???? ) Just how do they intend to be able to do this? If it were me I would tell them sure come and get it. By the way you get some free hot lead along with the cash. So they are loosing their tax base at an accelerating rate it seems. How much longer before the solicits implode from lack of money and they turn on the poor folks?????? Or maybe the poor turn on them????

Decades ago, California passed a law that says they can tax the profits of any company that operates in California, NO MATTER WHERE in the world those profits were earned. The Supreme Court upheld it.

CA: add cows and it's India. Except India probably isn't as nasty.

For years K-fornia tried to tax me because I worked overseas for a couple of California based companies. Amazingly it was the Assembly which passed a statute prohibiting that.

But I've kept the form letter telling me I am not an honorary subject of CA for tax purposes.

Look forward to a mob stringing some of those pols.
