Well, that does it for most folks. Now they're going to flee in droves with that smart guy Phil Mikelson to Florida for sure.

You already are a criminal. Odds are just about every citizen has broken some law at one time or another unwittingly.

Or you could be some inmate.

Or to be 'forced' to pay an extra 10¢ for a plastic bag in case you don't wanna bring your own (oh the horror, oh the humanity…)!!!

How did you know!!?? The rec room here in Chowchilla is equipped with computers.

Seriously, I think you're right, though. With so many new laws every year, it would take months to learn all of them. 'Course, a lot of them apply to business and not the regular joe like you and me.

Sadly, no match for Corporate America's loopholes, especially in terms of paying their fair share of taxes!
Oh, but don't ruffle their tawny feathers in CA, or they might take their ball and go to flyover or China.

I have an idea. Let's file to incorporate ourselves and our personal assets and we can have the same loopholes. Couldn't we?

I could peel off a few dozen write-offs right now, but I don't think I'm quite near that vaunted bracket to get away with it.

I know. I have a few myself but I don't think I'd want all that money anyway. The more money you have, the bigger the headaches. Then again, maybe that's why there's Tylenol.

A plastic bag ban is a nuisance. No one is going to flee the state over something like this.
