Liberal 'Utopias' Always Turn Into Dystopian Hellscapes As Yet Another Democrat-Run City Bites The Dust With Businesses Forced To Close Because Of Rampant Crime
I am going to bounce around a little here, so please bear with me as we highlight states and/or cities within the U.S. that liberal Democrats have long considered their utopian dreams. High taxes, strict regulations, with nanny-state policies and laws.
California comes to mind in the number one spot, where Democrat politicians believe a boot on the necks of citizens is appropriate if a key liberal cause is at stake.
CALIFORNIA, THE GOLD STANDARD FOR LIBERAL IDEOLOGY
Taxes: Liberal California leaders have never met a tax they did not love, so it stands to reason their taxes are among the highest in the nation
Key Takeaways from the website The Balance are as follows:
California's income tax adds a "millionaire's tax," a 1% surcharge to incomes of $1 million or more for single taxpayers and $1,198,024 for married taxpayers who file jointly.
The state's sales tax was the highest in the nation in 2021 at 7.25%.
California's property taxes are less harsh, with an effective rate of 0.74% as of 2022.
The state doesn't have an inheritance tax. Its estate tax was repealed in 2005.
They have a state income tax, CA sales tax, CA excise taxes, property taxes, capital gains tax, inheritance and estate taxes(death taxes!),.
There are more but it would take multiple pages to list all CA's regulations, all meant to control the citizenry.
Gun Control: CA has the strictest gun control laws in the nation, many considered anti-Second Amendment as they violate the U.S. constitutional rights of Americans.
The point that CA makes is that they are the gold standard of what states should all be to Democrats.
New York follows CA closely in being the gold standard.
Tax the rich, give to the poor, push climate change policies, and become the nanny-state which controls almost every aspect of their citizens' lives.
So why were Republicans able to flip seats from blue to red in NY and CA to hand control of the House of Representatives to the GOP?
During a time of systematic, 'big tech' censorship and widespread institutional corruption, truth-seeking media and alternative views are crucial, and EVERY little bit helps more than you could know!)
LIBERAL UTOPIAS TURNING INTO DYSTOPIAN HELLSCAPES
Soft-on-crime policies in CA and NY helped contribute to the midterm wins by Republicans in both states.
In 2014, California adopted Proposition 47, which made thefts of $950 or less a misdemeanor. Once people realized that they were unlikely to be arrested or prosecuted for stealing below $1,000, they, of course, responded to the incentive. For their part, the stores advise employees not to interfere with shoplifters lest they get hurt. Many crimes don’t even go reported.
And so it is open season for people to take whatever they want.
In NY: Felonies surge 40% on NYC subways compared to 2021
Felony crimes — including murder, rape and robbery — have surged on the subway system by 40% so far this year compared to 2021, according to newly released NYPD stats.
At least 1,917 felony crimes were reported from January through October — up from the 1,367 tallied during the same period last year, the figures prepared for Tuesday’s MTA board committee meetings showed.
Last month alone saw 210 total felonies, up from 198 in September, the NYPD said.
The October tally included three murders, two burglaries, 51 robberies, 46 felony assaults and 108 grand larcenies — all increases from that month in 2021, according to police.
We just cited the NYC issue above where the most used mode of transportation, the subway, is seeing a massive crime wave, while the politicians worry more about gun control than controlling criminal activity.
The list below shows that 27 of the top 30 cities with the highest murder rate, are run by democrats, two by Republicans and 1 by a Independent.
Another name to add is Portland, Oregon. In the past we have shown law enforcement forced to stand down while Antifa members literally took over the streets and harassed drivers and citizens.
We see news now that yet another store in Portland is closing due to rampant crime. Here is the sign on their door.
Another one bites the dust.
BOTTOM LINE
Liberal utopias always turn into dystopian hellscapes. The proof is right before our eyes, and as long as Democrat leaders are elected, the problem will become worse.
It is up to individuals to arm themselves, defend themselves, protect their families and their businesses, because their leaders are more concerned with mimicking their gold standard utopia of CA, to give a damn about their own citizens.
