California is increasingly taking on the look of a Western European country. Govenor Davis has just announced another tax increase to keep the gigantic welfare state solvent, which will no doubt be worth another 100,000 votes on the recall effort.

It's a shame that the politicians do their best to make nice places unlivable from a tax perspective. I couldn't even begin to understand how the average person pays their bills and raises their children on a middle class income in some of these places.

I fear that people with ambition are having fewer kids, because the system taxes them too heavily, while the less fortunate continue to have more kids because the system rewards them for it. I can see this leading to fewer affluent people who will be responsible for more and more poor.
