    Something has to slow the spread.

    I think emigrants from CA, IL, NY, MD (essentially any blue state to red state emigrants) should be taxed at the same rate as where they left between 5 and 10 yrs. I'd also accept removing their state wide voting rights for 10 years as an acceptable substitute (can always vote for president).

    The problem is wealthy Californians move to Idaho, Arizona, Iowa etc with their wealth gap, and often bring their what they're fleeing from with them even as they complain about it.

    I wouldn't worry about house seats for California, once they amnesty all the illegals, they'll be back up there

    They've been proposing milage taxes for a very long time but to my knowledge they've never managed to implement it. And I don't think they'll be able to in California really. They already have neutered their police to death so even if they did implement this people might just not bother to put plates on their cars.

    Public transportation is a good idea but needs to be funded via commerical taxes since it's business that benefits the most from a good public transportation system. Also needs to be policed, heavily.

    Plainclothes officers like they have on planes?

    Nah just police. Gotta have an officer at each station to deal with trouble makers and kick them off.

    You know, I read that article. And I tried to come up a response that fully encompassed my thoughts on the matter.

    But I couldn't. Because my mind couldn't get past the reality that someone in charge actually thought that this was a good idea.

    A car also serves as a home.
