A friend sent me this interesting opinion piece
You, Mr. Really-Liberal-California Politician can increase spending by 40 percent while tax receipts only increase by 25 percent, and then say that low taxes caused the deficit.Although the author is trying to be funny, he's so close to the truth of what happened in California
And you think that choice is important, unless it's a choice in education, health care, self-defense, social security, or any other government program you control.

I'm trying to follow the ideals of Henry David Thoreau, in his essay On Civil Disobedience. Thoreau refused to cooperate with The Machine of oppressive government and encouraged all moral people to do the same. He referred to this "civil disobedience" as creating friction in the machine. Given enough friction for a long enough period of time, the machine will break.
