You know, I think I've just about had it with California -- didn't I post this same thing like four months ago? Metldown in 50 days!! Well, they didn't meltdown, they're still there and annoying as ever.
The bluffing is starting to get like North Korea, for goodness sake. Get on with it already, Cali.

The government in California is so incompetent they can't get anything done.
They can't even go bankrupt.

No. U R 50 days from paying higher taxes for Calif*.
People first, then things, then dollars.
There will be enslavement, cannibalism, & zombie invasions.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'C')alifornia has just instituted a new agricultural VAT to all food exports. It is a geographically retrogressive so states further away will have to pay more money for their food. So Massachusetts and Connecticut for instance will be taxed at a rate of 50%, while Texas will only endure 25% (but seeing as the Texans are Republican and tend to be loudmouthed, it was decided that an additional 30% surcharge would be applied.) Other states with CSA's, good environmental records, and nice people get their food for free 
Nice guys, those Californians. After using the Northeast's tax money to build dams and water distribution systems for fully air-conditioned cities with running water in the middle of a desert, they're going to go bankrupt and put a tax on the crap they export? Sweet. When the heck will California have the common decency to just fall into the ocean? If California doesn't watch its step, we may sell you to China and call it even. So much for being the #4 economy of the world, larger than most other countries. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out of the Union. I'm not really into salmonella infested lettuce anyway.

Whale blubber and giant cabbages taste shitty.
Heres the deal, beach boys....---- if California doesn't keep shipping us our almonds/oranges/lettuce/milk/raisens/apples/etc. etc. we won't ship you our oil.

Alaska actually had a quarrel just like this with Washington State. Washington State passed a tariff on all shipping leaving their state and travelling by boat to another state.....this tax was targetted at Alaska. In response, Alaska passed a tax on all oil shipments leaving Alaska and travelling by boat to another state......
Washington State backed down on their tax very quickly.
