Silicon Valley venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, for example, gave $1.1 million to the Proposition 87

Vinod is heavily invested in ethanol companies. He hasn't had any luck trying to raise capital from the private sector for his ethanol ventures. He will make millions if this proposition passes and we will pay more for fuel.

Khosla, John Doerr and their Kleiner Perkins buddies no longer look for legitimate capital in the private sector. It's much easier to fleece the taxpayer using California's initiative process, offering up misleading Propositions from which they benefit. For the past five years (at least), the ballot has been strewn with garbage laws with a goal of making the select few wealthier at taxpayer expense.
