Amendment 69

[O2HeN2]

Yhea, GF and I both work for HP (HPE now) here in the 'springs, and we've already decided that if 69 passes we'll be heading to the Boise HPE site faster than you can say "Anyone with money moves out of Colorado".

I always thought that it'd be California that tanked first due to liberal policy, but it's starting to look like Colorado's now in the running.

I wish I could find the numbers of how many people work in the Heath Insurance Industry here in Colorado because if this passes every single one of them will be unemployed ... and that seems like a good angle to attack it from.

I bet it's more than 10,000 Coloradoans.

California keeps limping along due to creative accounting keeping them afloat and that their tax base includes Hollywood and Silicon Valley.

If this passes, the destruction of Colorado will be sped up even faster. Weed and single payer? You thought the influx was bad before...

Meanwhile, all the people NOT wanting the highest tax state tax in the nation will be fleeing the state leaving only the liberals and people that aren't in a position to up and relocate.

I'm an HPI guy, and I wonder what the two HP's are going to do with the HP sites once they start paying more in tax that they might not get back from our medical plan providers. We may not have jobs here, anyway.

What happens when folks with no jobs get free medical care and they have a medical marijuana card. Will the State (meaning taxpayers) have to pay for their prescribed weed?

MEDICAID. Until their live in "partner" starts their $15 min wage job. Then the IRS will take it back. EVERYTHING'S federally funded anyway.

Ins is like a prostrate exam. Doesn't matter who does it. Someone has their hand up your ass.

After the first time I read Atlas Shrugged, I always wanted to live in Colorado. 18 years ago, I was fortunate enough to get me PCS orders assigning me to Fort Carson. I loved it here so much, I retired in Colorado Springs.

Now, I am watching an accelerated erosion of everything that made Colorado so desirable. Ayn Rand must be rolling in her grave. Anyhow, this may be the nail in the coffin. I will take my six-figure income, and all associated taxes paid, and move to a more freedom respecting state, perhaps Idaho...

Nothing but sadness for this once great state.

While my timeline only stretches back 9 years instead of your 18, my thoughts are very much the same. Well said.

I grew up here and this isn't the politically purple state I grew up in. The two main reasons I left the Navy was to be closer to family and go to school, if this passes I'll be looking to live elsewhere.
