I confess, my first reaction was anger but then I reflected. California has ALREADY decided to EAT its citizens rather than go on the necessary diet -- I know this because California has chosen its small businesses as the first course of dinner and, cunningly, held off notice until now that average citizens will get theirs soon enough.
Well, soon enough is apparently here. Lets see how happy the socialist COWS of California take to the news that THEY are going to be taxed ... in both higher prices and in general unavailability of merchandise as smaller vendors simply lock out the state.
So...this actually makes me happy. I want to see the California cows get eaten...and not just me.

"California could collect more than $1 billion a year by taxing Amazon and other online retailers if a bill approved by the Assembly becomes law. Assemblyman Charles Calderon, a Democrat from Whittier, says his legislation doesn't impose a new sales tax, but extends one that California should already have been enforcing. AB155 passed, 47-16, with the support of one GOP lawmaker Tuesday. It now heads to the Senate. Other Republicans rejected the bill because they said it would invite lawsuits, drive business out of California, and get the state entangled in the messy task of regulating the Internet."
I have come to realize that men are not born to be free. Liberty is a need felt by a small class of people whom nature has endowed with nobler minds than the mass of men. -Napoleon
