Liberals want an elitist state

It seems as though liberal Sacramento is not communicating with liberal Fresno.

The brilliant governor and his Democrat followers are wasting money on a high-speed rail to nowhere. That money should be allocated to our roads and much-needed water storage. Their great answer instead is to raise our gas tax and vehicle registration costs.

This is rich. It seems that liberal Sacramento is intent on driving everyone out of liberal California because no one will be able to afford to live here. The result is, outrageous fees and no farm work with no water and therefore no food for us, not to mention the world.

So, the very people that liberal Fresno – Councilmembers Esmeralda Soria and Oliver Baines, for example – are protecting won’t have jobs and therefore won’t be able to afford to live here.

What the liberals want is not a sanctuary state, but an elitist state. Isn’t that what the liberals are anyway?
