Taxing the air we breathe. Who'd have thought that we'd actually see the day our own governments would do such a laughable thing that just a few short generations ago was a joke.
Even worse, who'd have thought that the citizens of this nation would let a government so such a ridiculous, laughable thing?
It doesn't take a whole lot of intelligence to see that- The government of Calipornia has spend above and beyond the atrocious amounts of revenues produced by their slaves (they call themselves taxpayers, because they like to hold on to the illusion that they are somehow "free") and are in desperate need to take even more from their slaves, cutting their living allowances, and removing what the overlords see as excessive, which allows them to indulge in "unhealthy behaviors".
It also doesn't take a whole lot of intelligence to see through the "global warming' B.S. that the government overlords have carefully constructed (to the best of their abilities anyway) as a reason for this reduction of living allowances- which is really for the slaves own benefit, that the slaves will actually live better and prosper from this reduction of living allowances which they are allowed to keep.
This was never about "saving the planet from certain doom", as the great Goracle was proselytizing so vehemently.
It's about creating a vast, bottomless moneypit of revenues that the overlords in government can spend (for our own betterment of course) on whatever whimsical notion they come across in order to create they disneyland-like fantasy alternate reality civilization so many of their favorite science fiction writers have written about, or saw portrayed by their favorite Hollywierdo movie maker, in which every person will be happy and live in a star trek like civilization, no need for money, each a "scientist" of technition of some type all working to gether to solve the many problems they come across as they explore Gods imperfect creation, although they don't really believe in A god, just "Q" people with god-like powers who create things to amuse themselves, at the expense of others who they must rescue.
We are getting to a time in Cal when the government will confisicate wealth and dole out food twice a week and clothing once a year.
