I predict that within 24 months Brown will be the MOST hated man in California.

He will TAX his way to TOTAL unpopularity of EPIC proportions.

In Atlas Shrugged, California passed a confiscatory tax to help the unemployed, causing oil companies in the state to go out of business. The national government intervened.

Later, the state threatened to secede, and civil war broke out between Ma Chalmers' People's Party and the Back to God Party.

In the last chapter, farmers from the Imperial Valley fled California in horse-drawn covered wagons to avoid the civil war's land confiscators.

Looks like interesting times ahead.
