I am going to boycott San Francisco.

Who cares? 70% of America supports Arizona. I say boycott California.

Is that a promise? Are you going to boycott Philadelphia [where you live] when it calls for a boycott of Arizona? Nearby NYC is considering taking that action like many large cities across America. Are you planning to boycott New York?

This whole boycott thing is simply political posturing. What a crock.

After the US tanks, what will California do, put more people on welfare, raise taxes more, or any other bright ideas? No one or very few are going to boycott companies that are headquartered in AZ, get real for heaven't sake.

The US will not tank. In case you can't read, California is a sinking ship. It is California that is in the toilet with it's liberal policies while many of the conservative states are in much better shape.

How about we make a deal. Cal can make any policies they want and other states can make their own policies too. When California goes broke you don't come running to the other states for a bailout.

It is funny that a state that needs a bailout is now threatening a boycott.

You don't have any money to begin with. Who cares if you boycott the rest of the country?

California is like George Costanza. He was broke but then he wanted his fiance to signe a prenup.

If California didn't have to pay money to the feds there would be no state fiscal crisis.

California pays more in federal income taxes than it gets back in federal spending.
