Taxes on rampant crime but look is that really the case Epic Times a recently looked into this issue with a new documentary leaving California the untold story here’s an excerpt from that we’re looking at you know at least a couple thousand dollars in damage right here comes the second one oh
So this is one of the most egregious ones they use the stolen truck to Ram through the front of the store this is almost seven o’clock in the morning as you can see we’re open there’s customers in there doing laundry so there was 600 in the ATM thirty two thousand dollars
In damage wow is what it cost for them to each make a hundred and fifty dollars here to speak with us about this is CM at karami he’s host of California Insider and also to the new documentary leaving California the Untold Story for having us thank you Josh for having us
Yeah see Mac I grew up in San Diego I know you from you know Orange County I dealt I never dealt with half the things I’m hearing about now in California I mean what’s really going on there you know this is a historical moment for California because the California that
We knew is is changed a lot especially in the last decade and uh this documentary we’re actually going deep to meet with the people that are leaving and um believe it or not a lot of the people that are leaving they love the state they just don’t want to go but they’re
Forced to move for a variety of reasons some of this has to do with cost of living some of it has to do with crime high taxes cost of housing education and uh this is why people are filling the state now a lot I know a lot of
People outside of California they kind of see California is a joke it’s uh you know it’s what the far left leads to and they don’t think it’s going to affect them at all do you think that California what’s happening there is going to kind of spill over to the rest of the country
Absolutely and what’s fascinating here is Josh we have a lot of smart people living in California we have a lot of entrepreneurs innovators but there’s these hidden taxes and hidden laws that for example on cost of living there’s significant taxes on cost of energy cost of utility and they’re hidden these are
Laws that have been passing over the last few decades that drive the cost of energy up there drive the cost of gas up and then the cost of living becomes higher most average people don’t have the time to connect the dots to dig deeper and
At the end of it as we connected all these dots during the documentary we realized that the common theme is the government policies but at the same time these government policies sound really good on paper and they’re very interesting so don’t be surprised if you see these policies coming across the
Nation in different states all of our neighboring states are following some of these policies because on the paper they sound really well well and that brings up something else I mean what’s causing the bad policies is it bureaucracy is it corruption is it maybe just people meaning well and not
Implementing things well enough what is it so what we gathered along the way as we went uh down on the ground to talk to people and talk to experts we realized that uh there’s there’s a huge disconnect between what the policy makers are working on they’re trying to
Solve different sets of problems they want to solve the climate problem they want to lead the world in certain idea with certain ideas well at the expense of the average Californians so average Californians have different kinds of problems like basic problems the cost of living crime cost of housing but we are
Creating problems for them our policy makers are creating problems for them by trying to solve bigger problems some of it has to do with ideological things that people believe this is the right way to go and some of it has to do with special interest so for example I give
You an example on housing costs California government wants to lower the housing costs here the housing cost here is double the national average and at the same time they passed a law that mandated every new home built has to have solar panels on it this adds 30 to
40 000 to the cost of each house so there’s this hypocrisy between government leaders and their policies versus what they want to achieve for the average people I see well and it brings up something else too something I hear a lot is look what can we do about it because a lot of
People really feel powerless when when they’re facing these these types of policies and cost of living going up and quality of life going down what do people do about it you know the biggest reason why this is happening is the disconnect average people have no idea
Why things are the way it they are and this documentary that we made actually goes in deep into analyzing all of this and connects all the dots so that every Californian can see what’s happening in their government and why they’re having these problems why they have to leave
The state so essentially by getting informed people can actually make a difference and they can actually watch this by going to leavingcalifornia.com to see it and I recommend every Californian to share it with others and there’s 15 minutes of it is available free of any charge especially the 15
Minutes that’s about crime which is really critical for everyone to watch this and not knowing is the root cause not being informed is the root cause of all of this so if Californians can understand what’s happening they will make they can make a change the homeless problem is getting worse
It’s not getting better crime is getting worse it’s not getting better regulations are getting worse it’s not getting better people are bailing on California in record numbers more than half of Californians are considering moving it might be hard ER to find a U-Haul than to find your next
Home The Exodus of people moving out of California is not new no sane person would want to leave California if they could make it here for the first time ever people are leaving in 2020 California lost 655 this place is going to say watch they already have high taxes our problems are
Man-made all you have to do is pay attention it’s the money that’s doing the talking the California legislature it can’t go on forever like this there’s a lot of people that you would be surprised by their stories
