I saw all of this coming in California, 25 years ago. Inch by inch, a little here, and a little there. Every year we lost more freedom, and watched our fortunes being taxed away. Taxes on literally everything you do. Cops EVERYWHERE, just looking for a cracked tail light, or a bald tire, so they can stop you and shake you down for whatever they can get. And I say this as a retired Peace Officer. The whole state has become a machine, designed to move most of your money, into the hands of politicians, who use it to further enslave you and enrich themselves. We got out 20 years ago, to one of the best states ever, and have been thanking God every day since.
