California Is Coming for You – WSJ

I didn t have to read the entire Democratic Party platform, let alone the spend-tasmagoric Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force recommendations. Sitting here in California, I m already living it. If polls are to be believed, left-coast policies are coming to you soon and you re not going to like it. California is an early glimpse for the rest of the country of a blackout-rolling, water-deprived, tax-hiking, spending-spiking one-party state longing for its old incandescent glow.

The U.S. may flip to one party rule; California is already there. Democrats have controlled the state Assembly since 1997 and the governorship since 2011 or 1999 if you ignore Arnold the Governator, as most do. Single-party rule means single-party rules. We re No. 1 in the top marginal income tax rate at 13.3%, including for capital gains. That beats New York City. We re also No. 1 in state sales tax, but only ninth when you include local levies. Still impressive! Everything else follows.
