Yep. That's what you need--a democrat governor. You deserve no less. Californians have elected a strongly democratic controlled legislature for practically all of the past 40 years. No Republican governor will get much done in that atmosphere. The max marginal tax rate will rise to around 60% after ObamaCare takes full effect. Perhaps a democrat governor could get those rates even higher and run out what's left of the meager remnants of businesses that once thrived aplenty in The Golden State.

I use to live in California for a short time in the beautiful Newport Beach area, but could not wait to get out. It took a few years but I finally escaped. That's the beauty of state's rights. If a state has policies you don't agree with, you can move. That is not possible with federal programs like ObamaCare. States that tried gov run health care found the programs became insolvent over time. How anyone could believe it will work at the national level is beyond me. I guess some folks believe that if you pile bull$hit high enough and deep enough, it ain't bull$hit no more.
