The ownership of a car is long already thoroughly socialized in CA. I fume (pun intended) every time the smog check comes around.
I remember a time when insurance was NOT mandated.
I wonder why CA conservatives have never fought any of this socialism via automobile the way they tried to fight property taxes?
well the conservative did fight the car laws, we kicked out grey davis as governor, mainly over his car tax increase. that lead to his recall.
However the Republican party got in the way, and pushed for shwartznegger over the conservative McClintock. now arnold has jacked up the car tax (he did cancel davis’s car tax increase his first day in office as promised, five years ago) But now the tax is back, will go higher and he pushed these stupid global warming laws on use, that is arnold touch all over.
so much for the conservatives, we were Highjacked by the Calif Republican party, the most wrothless party I can think of, they cursed california by nominating arnold.
