I've never understood how one state, Ronald Reagan's state at that, could elect Barbara Boxer AND Diane Feinstein.

At least they are consistent (now, that is).
I honestly don't think Feinstein or Boxer was elected by the middle class. I think the hardworking Californians have been sold down the river by the guilt-ridden liberalism of the successful Hollywood/Artist/Tech set. Fully supported by public employee unions that spend their days serving not the California taxpayer, but illegal aliens.
Sometimes I think Feinstein and Boxer see 'constituents' in welfare-state recipients and 'enemies' in taxpayers. I see the opposite.
The FairTax should not be a partisan issue, but I definitely get more negative reactions from Democrats here than I do Republicans. Dims seem to like the present tax system just fine.
