I was mildly amused for a brief moment after reading a Yahoo News article concerning the 'sacrifices' that Arnold Schwarzenegger made as the governor of my former home state of California.
How his family was torn apart by the schedule he had to keep to live two lives in different cities.
How he lost an estimated 200 million dollars in income as a result of his accepting the job of governor.
I wish that I could feel something other than absolute outrage over this. He cares nothing for the damage his failure as governor caused to millions of Californians in the wake of his ego gratification.
His children had full stomachs and a nice home to shelter them. What of those Californians who were forced into their cars because two jobs would not pay for a home of their own, let alone rent? What of people who were born in California who had to pack up and leave their home state because it was far too expensive to live in?
Go back to Austria, Arnold! Take your movie residuals and your supportive family and get out of California! You and your supporters have ruined my home state. This is your legacy. I pray it hurts.
