Can I add one little dimension to what you've been saying, which is taxes.

So at the same time as all of this going on, which you correctly described there, you've got, because of the tax system, low paid workers, the ones that Kamala Harris and all these people profess to care about, certainly in California, paying massive taxes.

to the government and the employers that are allegedly impoverishing these workers also paying massive taxes to the government, which are then recycled in these handouts.

I'll just give you the numbers.

In California, there are a number of counties now where because of the cost of living being so high because of Democrat policies, the official definition of low income is $100,000 a year.

So you got people because the California tax system earning 70, 80, 90 grand a year, low income, paying 9.3% state income tax.

That is higher than the top rate of tax in most states in America.

What do they got to say about that?

Nothing.

My plan, on the other hand, is to reduce taxes for those people, eliminating state income tax for everyone earning 100 grand or below.

And so these people just don't think about the actual system.

They want more and more taxes, more and more government, and then they complain that the workers aren't getting paid enough, even as they're taking more money out of their pockets.

Exactly.

I mean, that's why the first pledge in my campaign about a year ago when I started was $3 gas.

Because at the time, before the war, you had 40 states in America where gas was $3 or below, most of them with no oil reserves.

California has abundant oil reserves, yet because of their insane virtue signaling about

uh clamping down on fossil fuels and ending fossil fuels um they are ending california production of fossil fuels that's for sure but the overall consumption of fossil fuels in california since their war on fossil fuels is about the same as it ever was except now we're importing it from halfway around the world our number one provider of oil right now used to be california when we got most of it from in-state number one provider now iraq

These geniuses, in the name of climate change, are now shipping oil halfway around the world, 7,500 miles from Iraq in giant supertankers spewing out carbon emissions because they run on the dirtiest form of fuel, bunker fuel, in the name of climate.

They're literally increasing carbon emissions in the name of climate.

Another example.
