RUSH: Here\u2019s Richard, El Segundo, California. Welcome, sir. Great to have you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. How are you today? Thank you for taking my call. By the way, the entertainment waiting on the telephone during the breaks is outstanding.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. Appreciate that.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CALLER: I called you on September 11th and discussed my concerns over Republican attendance for this current election, and that\u2019s another issue. I\u2019m speaking to you today about Proposition 30, that\u2019s three-zero, not one-three, in the state of California. You expressed a desire last week to sort of track the aftermath of that. Well, you lived here, and you know what California\u2019s all about, but I\u2019m still here, and it\u2019s been some years since you have been. It\u2019s even worse. It\u2019s a bottomless pit. The state lottery 25 years ago was supposed to handle all educational costs forever. That\u2019s what it was sold on, and of course that\u2019s a myth. We\u2019ve got something like $500 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, and a number of other expenses and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, wait. Let\u2019s go through this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This will be an interesting exercise. I\u2019m not gonna be able to complete it before we have to take a break. I need to ask if you can hold on through the top of the hour break.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019d be honored.<\/p>\n

RUSH: In Prop 30, citizens of California voted to raise taxes on themselves. And so Mayor Willie Brown, Speaker Brown, “Oh, this will work, this will work \u2019cause the people are behind it. They voted this themselves.” Okay, so we got that. Number two. He said, “Yeah, the lottery, 25, 30 years ago, supposed to pay for all education.” As far as most Californians are concerned, there\u2019s nothing wrong with it. The schools are still open. Unfunded liabilities, pension liabilities? They may be unfunded, but people retire, they\u2019re still getting their pensions. We haven\u2019t gone over the cliff on anything. None of that explanation\u2019s gonna convince anybody that there\u2019s a problem. That\u2019s my point. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to go back to the phones. I want to go to Richard in El Segundo, California. Richard, you\u2019re still there, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not trying to diminish the hell that you\u2019re going through living in California. From the perspective of people that don\u2019t live there, even some of the people that do, Richard, for all of the problems that you can describe, and Prop 30\u2019s clearly a problem, and, by the way, they\u2019re gonna erase Prop 13 next, I mean they\u2019re gonna get rid of adjustments made long ago by Howard Jarvis on property tax. You\u2019re just getting started with tax increases \u2019cause this is not gonna close any budgets. You talk about the unfunded pension liability, you can talk about all the money from the lottery that is supposed to pay for education. And I love that state. I could live there, but Richard, my contention to you is that the vast majority of people who live there don\u2019t think anything\u2019s wrong. They keep voting the same way. I know there\u2019s a group that… prop… oh, what was it, no welfare for illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CALLER: 187.<\/p>\n

RUSH: 187. I know all of this. I know everything you\u2019re gonna tell me about the income tax, property taxes, so forth, but you\u2019ve got two states there. You\u2019ve got the elite on the coast all up and down, even up in Eureka County, the elite, the global warming elite. Then you\u2019ve got the interior, which is the agricultural part of the state, and you\u2019ve got anarchy. You\u2019ve got crime running rampant. You\u2019ve got no police forces and so forth, but what I see is everybody who is essentially responsible for the mess keeps getting reelected and in greater numbers.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You just described the entire country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s true. Let\u2019s go through what you mentioned specifically. You said 25 years ago the lottery was gonna pay for education.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Forever.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Forever. And of course nothing\u2019s paid for in California. There is the largest budget deficit, larger than many countries, 16, $18 billion. It obviously doesn\u2019t matter to anybody. Or it doesn\u2019t matter to anywhere near a majority of people. The number of people that don\u2019t care about that dwarf the number who do, and as far as they\u2019re concerned the lottery is paying for education. The schools are still open, and unfunded pension liability? Well, I\u2019ll contend to you that most people don\u2019t even know what that means when they hear unfunded pension liability, including the pensioners. All they know is they\u2019re still getting them.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you must remember as well, and I\u2019m sure you do, that this is a parasite\u2019s paradise in California. We have 12% of the population, we eat up 33% of the nation\u2019s welfare money. The illegals cost us $13 billion a year. That\u2019s over one-tenth of the entire country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. And I don\u2019t see that anybody cares.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we do have our share of those who are, to be charitable, are challenged as far as native intelligence is concerned.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s more education than anything, but still I know what you mean.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, for example, the City of Los Angeles is now on the heels of Proposition 30 pushing for another half-cent sales tax within the city.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. I\u2019ve got the LA Times headline right here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Tax Hikes, Improving Economy Bode Well for State Budget.” Nothing bodes well for the California budget.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I agree with you. The socialists in Sacramento now are flush with the smugness that they have a supermajority —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and are discussing tripling, I emphasize tripling, the license fees on vehicles.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And this is, what, within a week and a half after that proposition passed.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. And who elects \u2019em?<\/p>\n

CALLER: They pulled the wool over the eyes of the majority of the Californians once again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019re a target of opportunity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, who elects them? They keep getting elected, and by the people who are going to pay triple increases in auto registration.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s totally misunderstood. Sixty to 70% — as a matter of fact, I haven\u2019t seen the school ballot for a bond issue not pass in this state as far back as I can remember. I just scanned the election results on Tuesday night. The local ballots were on screen, and everyone one of the school bonds passed by a marriage of 60 to 70%.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And all they have to do is throw in the moniker of it\u2019s, “for the children,” and they pass.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So the state is cutting its own throat here. It\u2019s like taking candy from a baby.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t know that you\u2019re hearing me, because we\u2019re talking two different things. Yes, in real terms, somewhere down the road the state is cutting its own throat. But it isn\u2019t. None of this pain, none of the damage, none of the penalties, taxes inflicted, are not changing the way people are voting. It\u2019s not changing the way a lot of people are living. And you know as well as I do that when they reach the tipping point, if a Democrat is in the White House, they\u2019re gonna bail the state out.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, of course, we\u2019re both preaching to the choir here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m trying to make a larger point, and I\u2019m in the middle of formulating strategically how to do it, so I\u2019m actually using you as a guinea pig, and I haven\u2019t figured out how to do this. But what I\u2019m trying to say is, we can cite real-world facts. We can paint a real-world picture of the future, but it hasn\u2019t happened yet, even though it\u2019s the process of happening, but in terms of it hasn\u2019t happened, it hasn\u2019t affected people\u2019s lives yet, and apparently, Richard, tax increases don\u2019t bother the people of California, because they\u2019re not new. Property taxes have been high for a long time. State income taxes have been high for a long time. I know the largest share is borne by the rich, but they don\u2019t care, either. <\/p>\n

And when I say they don\u2019t care, I know there are people like you, but you\u2019re so outnumbered that it is accurate to say the Republican Party has lost that state forever. And I can tell you when it began: 1988 when all kinds of immigration standards were relaxed, Simpson-Mazzoli, \u201986, actually, opened the floodgates with amnesty. It\u2019s not an anti-Hispanic comment. It\u2019s a comment politically on Republicans losing the state, an influx of Democrat voters came in, and we\u2019re facing the same thing happening now nationwide by design and on purpose. We just had four years of an economic uber-disaster in this country, and the party not responsible for it got blamed totally.<\/p>\n

CALLER: There\u2019s a level in ignorance in California as well as nationwide, and I\u2019m not giving you any news. I\u2019ve spoken to people here before that say, for example, they don\u2019t care about property tax increases because they\u2019re renters. I\u2019ve also spoken to people who say they don\u2019t like taxes, but they don\u2019t care about bonds because — and this is a direct quote — the government pays for those. So when you\u2019re fighting that level of misinformation with people who cannot connect the dots, we\u2019ve got a real problem, and it\u2019s migrated throughout the entire country.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: But shouldn\u2019t real life connect the dots? Even if they don\u2019t understand how bonds are paid for and even if they don\u2019t understand how they cannot escape higher costs of living because they rent, at some point shouldn\u2019t the reality of the disaster of the way they\u2019re voting affect the way they live, and thus change the way they\u2019re voting?<\/p>\n

CALLER: When they actually write the check, they understand. Until then, and it\u2019s dollar for dollar, they don\u2019t connect the dots. I\u2019ve spoken to dozens and dozens of people on these subjects over the years, and it\u2019s consistent.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the bottom line. California current taxes, right now, highest state sales tax, second highest gasoline tax. This is in the nation. Personal income tax, second highest. Corporate income tax, highest in the west. California has the third worst state business tax climate in the nation, according to a report in the Tax Foundation. And I know, by the way, that lots of people are leaving California. What is it, is it a thousand people a week that are moving to places like Idaho? I know there are people leaving.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, there\u2019s a huge exodus, and over 5,000 businesses of various sizes have left here within the last two years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. And the state\u2019s still functioning, and Southern California\u2019s still beautiful and so is Pebble Beach, and so is Carmel. Everything\u2019s still beautiful. So is San Diego. So is Coronado. So is Palm Springs. So is Indian Wells. It\u2019s all still beautiful. It\u2019s all still a great vacation. San Francisco is still beautiful. All of this is happening, and to listen to us talk, this place ought to be a ghost town falling apart at the seams, and it isn\u2019t. So when we preach dismal, despair, this can\u2019t continue, the people that live there say, “Well, what do you mean it can\u2019t continue? It is continuing. Our education, schools, they\u2019re still open.” They don\u2019t know that they\u2019re underfunded. In fact, every little thing they want, now they\u2019ve got addadictomies paid for, they got same sex changes, everything, paid for. I mean, what could be better for the people who live in these places? Exactly what they want is happening.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Look at the impending municipal bankruptcies. We\u2019ve had four or five and there are many on the ropes right now. I know that from firsthand information.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Doesn\u2019t matter. My point is it doesn\u2019t matter. Who\u2019s winning every election out there by ever increasing margins? The architects of all this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you\u2019re simply indicting the American public, and I couldn\u2019t agree with you more. I mean, let\u2019s call a spade a spade here. If people don\u2019t understand basic economics, how do you explain that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s not that I\u2019m indicting the American people per se. I\u2019m trying to acknowledge what California\u2019s become. It\u2019s a socialist welfare democracy that the people who live there want, and everything as far as they\u2019re concerned is fine to the vast majority of \u2019em. And it\u2019s not so much what they know, it\u2019s what they\u2019ve been taught. California is a microcosm for where we\u2019re headed as a country because of the education system<\/a>. The long-term fix for California is the same thing it is for the country. We have got to get control back of the public education system. The reason you sit there and talk about the naivete and the ignorance of the people that live there, they don\u2019t know any better. They\u2019ve been taught government\u2019s wonderful, government\u2019s the answer, government\u2019s this, government\u2019s that. To them the worst people alive are Republicans. And therefore everything Republicans say is either a lie or dastardly wrong or mean-spirited or what have you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it may be pie-in-the-sky, but I would expect that some native intelligence would come into play here and that people would begin to understand.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: There is a mass exodus of wealth, by the way —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Richard —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — it\u2019s gonna come back to roost.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Maybe so, but it ain\u2019t happening fast enough. You\u2019re looking for this vast reservoir of native intelligence, and I\u2019m asking you, where is it? It keeps electing more Democrats. They just voted to raise taxes on themselves.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. And they put Brown back in the governor\u2019s mansion once again. You may know or may not know that his prior city of Oakland —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. No. They don\u2019t care. They\u2019re getting what they want. This is our challenge. They are not being fooled. We think they\u2019re being fooled. They are getting what they want. That\u2019s our challenge. They\u2019re not having the wool pulled over their eyes. These people are not voting for tax increases because they\u2019re stupid or because they\u2019re being lied to about it. They want it. They believe in it. Only if we accept that, I think, are we gonna be able to deal with this down the road. It\u2019s a contest of ideas. Clearly there\u2019s some people that don\u2019t know what to think and don\u2019t know what they know, because you\u2019ve got that in every group of people. My point to you is that overall a majority of people that vote in that state are not fooled. They know what they\u2019re doing, and they like what they\u2019re getting. And the evidence is undeniable. They keep voting that way in greater numbers every election.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Michael in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Open Line Friday. How are you, sir?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Doing great. It\u2019s a great honor to talk to you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, I don\u2019t want you to misunderstand me. I\u2019m not beating up on Romney. I just think you nailed it on the last call. You said it\u2019s a contest of ideas. And, you know, I never did get all the answers I wanted from Romney. I think we\u2019re shooting ourselves in the foot as the Republican Party because the Democrats are running full-fledged true blue Democrats, and we\u2019re running these people who I think are political wimps and they\u2019re afraid to take a risk or say what they really believe.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know what, we\u2019re also afraid of negative ads, because we\u2019re afraid the independents don\u2019t like \u2019em. We haven\u2019t learned that you can run a truthful negative ad that is not an attack on a person. They run everything. But I know what you mean. We\u2019re in the arena of ideas. There were a bunch of times, and even during debates when Romney\u2019s going through the economic stats as they exist today and how he\u2019s gonna change \u2019em, and I was longing for him to explain how. Teach!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s the only thing that was missing. How are you gonna create 12 million jobs, tell us how it works. <\/p>\n

CALLER: He was asked several times, “How are you gonna pay for the tax cut?” You know, he said, “Well, we\u2019re gonna eliminate some deductions.” Well, which ones, and he never would answer, and I\u2019m like, just tell us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m gonna defend him. He thought it would be minutia and confusing because of the limited time they have in a debate, I understand that, but I agree with you overall. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
