The Democrats target the middle class, those they consider "deplorable," taxing them out of existence. They always use "tax the rich" talk, but there aren't enough "rich" people to fill their coffers. They always, always go for the middle class. Democrat politicians hold normal workers in contempt. And the result is what's happening in California. The middle class can't afford to live in the state. They are fleeing. What's left are the very rich and the very poor and mentally ill living on the sidewalks in their own filth.
