Just like you!

Carly was born rich (her daddy Nixon's lover) and she went to "elitist" schools to become a raging idiot that worships anarchy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-capitali...

True story.

The weird thing is Carly wants to become the state. She wants to become big Government. She wants to feed at the public trough.

At the same time she says she hates Government and its regulations.

The fact is Carly wants Government out of the lives of Industry. She thinks Industry can police itself. She trusts Halliburton and Blackwater. She finds that salmonella eggs taste better. She admires Somalia.

At the same time Carly wants to put big Government in your bedroom and into your personal life. She wants to dictate who can marry and what medical procedures one can have.

True story. Disagree? Prove that I am wrong.

Finally, sanity instead of the constant self-destructive crazy right wing crazy talk which swamps these forums.
Ronald Reagan is the father of this whole deregulation, destabilization,
Corporate CEO gratifying-worker suppressing movement. Prior to his regime workers could expect decent wages, medical benefits for their families, and a pension to retire on. However, under the banner of "family values" and the Bible, Reagan began attacking unions. Remember the traffic controllers union. It was also the time when buy-outs came into being. Yet, these buy-outs weren't to improve services to the public. They were opportunities for the super rich to take over a business, basically destroy it, and run away with its assets. Now this has morphed in to a wholesale attack on worker protections of any kind. Also, we have a new phenomenon: billionaires secretly supporting workers who rail against worker protections: like a decent living wage, union protections, social security, health care, etc. Problem is the people who incite these stupid right wingers are millionaires: Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, the Koch brothers, Sarah Palin, etc. They won't suffer when the crap hits the fan. While lower class right wingers suffer, the elite right wingers will hire another illegal
alien to stand out front and guard their gated community. They have no problem with illegals when it comes to serving their purposes.

Hell, California doesn't even have an oil extraction tax. I am actually in favor of one, are you?

In Alaska (what you might refer to as real 'merica), they pay residents an oil dividend —$3,269 in 2008, including a $1,200 resource rebate. Employment in Alaska increased in 2007 and 2008, with over $2 billion in new capital investment in fiscal 2009. The oil tax increased jobs and did not slow down investments.

I agree. California should have an oil extraction tax. Most states do.

California produces millions of barrels of oil a day and in every other state in the union the oil companies would have to pay an extraction tax.
Wyoming charges a 6-percent severance tax on crude oil and natural gas, plus 16.6-percent royalties on oil produced on state lands, plus half of the royalties paid for oil produced on federal lands.
These charges generated more than $2.2 billion in fiscal 2007. The money goes to the state general fund, cities, counties, roads and schools.
Texas charges 7.5 percent of market value on gas, and 4.6 percent of market value on oil. There are also fees for oil well services, petroleum delivery fees, diesel fuel and School Fund Benefit. Texas anticipates tax revenue of $1.8 billion from oil, and $2 billion from gas in 2010-11.
California does not have any oil severance taxes and it should. If you disagree, please say so.

This tax is needed.

California does not tax a lot of things that other states do. For example it does not tax digital goods. A lot of "red" states do tax these things such as Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, so on and so forth.

True.

I am definitely in favor of an oil extraction tax. It is absurd that CA doesn't impose one. Oil industry is getting rich off of the commons. They are taking what is ours and then selling it back to us. The least we could do is tax the extraction.
I oppose a tax on digital goods. Unlike oil, our highways and roadways are not used in the transportation of them and they are not taken from state lands.

Fiorina wants to tax and regulate the internet. Boxer is against taxing it.
