Why are Democrats so stupid?

As if California wasn't in deep enough debt, here's a new round of taxes that the Democrat American Communist Party wants to impose!

Speaker of the Assembly Karen Bass, a Los Angeles Democrat, said higher taxes and fees are needed instead of all $16 billion in cuts proposed by Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. His reductions would eliminate entire welfare programs and leave 1 million children without health insurance. Democrats yesterday suggested a $15 automobile license fee and said they may consider a 9.9 percent per-barrel charge on oil produced in the state.

I truly hope that good folks like Drumwaster get the hell out before the state collapses. But to be plainly honest, I just want to see California go under, as the collective result of the state's stupidity drags it further and further along the path of destruction.
