I found Ban's name... "Maurice"...!!!
« on: December 30, 2012, 10:38:15 AM »
Perusing my favorite dumpmonkey posts, I came across an otherwise innocuous threadstarter by Ban. He was squealing with delight how he got published by a second-tier newspaper in the LA area...finally!.... after dozens of what must have been very erudite letters, at least in his mind.

FINALLY got published in my LA-area newspaper, The Daily Breeze

Last edited Sat Dec 29, 2012, 07:19 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
I've sent at least two dozen letters over the past few years, and finally got published in my local newspaper. I wrote about how the state should impose an exit tax on businesses leaving the state.

http://www.dailybreeze.com/opinions/ci_22179969/inflation-adjustments-letters-editor-thursday-dec-13-2012?source=rss

"Leave California, pay an exit tax "

It was a couple weeks ago, but I've been busy with the winter holiday season. I'm back online for awhile.


So I dutifully meandered myself to the link at the Breeze. Here is the letter.

Quote
Leave California, pay an exit tax

Our Legislature must immediately implement exit taxes for businesses leaving the state in avoidance of our majority-approved tax hikes. Why punish the workers who make the business owners rich by firing them and moving to Texas or Arizona? It's not fair.

-- Maurice Ramtor, Rancho Dominguez

"Maurice Ramtor"...??? That's a whole can of worms ready to be had...

What does one suppose is the ethnological derivation of Maury's last name?

It's an odd one for sure.

Yes, White Pages is quite lacking. Perhaps it's a made up name? Wouldn't be the first time.

Here is Ramtor from NeoQuest game series...

Why not just build a big wall topped with barbed wire and manned with armed guards to prevent any business from leaving?  Didn't work out so well in Berlin, did it.

It's not fair? Really...and all these welfare recipients who got thousands of dollars back (You know the ones that NEVER paid a penny into the IRS to start with.) in the form of income tax refunds...is fair? I know one couple that has been getting between $5,000 and $8,000 a year back on income tax refunds and they didn't pay in one red cent....That is one great place to start with fixing the system. How many millions of people in this country are now getting refund checks that never paid into the system? Cut them off there is probably an extra Trillion dollars right there.

Rancho Dominguez?  F'n SERIOUSLY?  Yeah, I need some knucklehead living in the hood telling me the finer points of preserving the economic base.

But sadly, there are people in Sacramento who think EXACTLY like him.  EXACTLY.

When I lived in the South Bay, the DB was one of those local papers that printed the local news the LA Times or OC Register didn't have time to bother covering, and was about 10 percent (or less) of the circulation of the aforementioned papers.  While it's a step above the "alternative" papers of the area, it's not a large step.

Scratch a liberal, find a fascist.  And not very smart fascists at that.  And they wonder why CA is turning into the steaming pile it has become.

I know this isn't a huge risk, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that CA loses EV in the 2020 census.

It's just as easy to set up a shell in another state and sell all the business assets to it including the name, then physically move there, as it is to try to relocate a running business and maintain continuous operations.  In many ways, it's actually more advantageous to do that anyway.  It's also possible just to leave the empty shell behind without actually closing it down while maintaining the necessary minimum filings and licenses for a few years and then quietly folding it.

Gipp--even with all the illegals flooding in, CA had NO increase in EV last census for the first time since statehood...160 years.  And when the freebies run out and they've gone tits up with no chance of even the federal government bailing them out, you're REALLY going to see an exodus from what was formerly a really great state.
