California Owns the Labor of Its Citizens

[hooky]

I love California. It's one of the most beautiful places in the country. Its politics are so screwed up though.

A small winery that's open 10 hours a week used unpaid volunteers and as result it's out of business.

$115,000 fine on a winery that was netting $11,000 annually. Why? Fairness to all other wineries and the people who were too dumb to realize that they couldn't donate their time.

Eh, makes sense, right?

Somehow I don't think you are fully onboard with the "you didn't build that" philosophy. You need to get your mind right.

Every government that imposes an "income tax" is claiming ownership of your labor. You cannot legally exchange your time for money without their hand in it, because they are insisting that you don't own it.

I know. Maybe someday I'll be down with the struggle.

Now you can't even give it away...unless it's sex.

Yet still there are some who actually believe lincoln abolished slavery.

Slavery was not abolished. It was spread thinner and wider.

Slavery is alive and well.

The republic is dead.

Ehh. California is raising the minimum wage to $15.37. Big Mac will now cost 10-11 bucks.

I guess the vintner needs to bill all the volunteers for the "free" education that he provided them to offset the .gov idiocy! I wonder how this came to light? Did one of the "volunteers" get mad and turn them in because he didn't get what he was entitled to?

I say we all start digging along the Oregon, Nevada and Arizona border. Enough of us working hard enough, and maybe, just maybe we can push that rotten, anti american, anti common sense cesspool into the ocean. That state is becoming a freakin cancer to our republic.
