This religious affliction concerning the contribution of the rich still 
drives the moronic rightards even though reality says otherwise.  This 
country has not been destroyed by Democrats.  It has been destroyed by 
lying pig Republicans and their fascist pig shit.  As to the wealthy 
owing government of California more or less the rational person attempts 
a FAIR system of taxation as opposed to arguing about who is to be 
billed. That fair system existed in California until Prop 13 destroyed 
it.  I would like to add that no one is FORCED to live in California and 
that people can leave any time. People want to live there because of the 
natural attributes of that area.  Only the rich can afford to live 
there.  But the rich must have government services, lawn care, 
restaurants, massage parlors or house calls, grocery stores, and let us 
not the forget the major need which is lots of people to kiss their 
illustrious butts.  No government, no private property enforcement.  The 
rich will ever try to have others pay for their needs.  The proper 
funding of government is via asset taxation.  The greater the value of 
your assets the more you NEED government.  Land is the asset that cannot 
be hidden. It is available to all in a government enforced market.  And 
all you have to do is outbid all the other people.  The land exists 
without anyone "providing it".  It is just "there".  The recipient of the 
payment for inhabiting a particular location should be the government 
that enforces the use claims (e.g. the right of exclusive use).  It is a 
fair and honest system.
