This is just another example of how Kalifornia is so dysfunctional. They have elected Dumbocraps to the point they control both houses and the Governor, and it takes a 43% tax hike, and other taxes and fees laid on their heads to start fighting back. Newflash Kalifornia: You lost the war a long time ago and let the enemy take over, you are now fighting a losing cause and battle. Just surrender your entire paycheck and maybe they will leave you alone for a year or 2. This is what Ayn Rand was warning against all along. I just can't buy into "California voters have a history of turning against their lawmakers" , and the real kicker is they have to pass a law that specifically prohibits them from spending any of the money on things it is not intended for. Really? They have to have a law to make them honest?
