#1 This state's public employee unions are out of control. Everybody can see that and everybody is envious of those wonderful pensions.

But here you can read about another of Brown's biggest sins and my all time pet peeve, the carpool lane. Big Brother at his worst.

You can expect Whitman to bash Brown for his opposition to California's sacred cow, Proposition 13. But don't think I'm being sarcastic when I call it a sacred cow. It really was one of best pieces of legislation we ever got. It was, of course, universally opposed by politicians because it limited their ability to tax us.

Prop 13 is one of the main examples I use in my argument that we should abolish the state legislature. All of our best laws come from ballot propositions like Prop 13 that are approved directly by the voters and almost all of these good laws are opposed by the politicians. The legislature never would have passed a law that made so much sense. All they ever do is screw us over with arcane legalese designed to serve the purposes of the unions, developers, illegal aliens and assorted other criminals and degenerates. Then they tell us we're not smart enough to make our own laws. The challenge for Whitman, if she wins, will be the same as it was for Arnold: how to deal with this collection of crooks.
