Mo' California

Doomed though the state is to be subsumed by the ocean, enveloped by the fury of the supervolcano darkly grumbling beneath 37 million pairs of feet, leaving nothing but scattered Ipods and Anthony Kiedis' socks floating on the water... The good people of California should not let that get them down. All is not lost. Here's something I didn't know until yesterday, Calfornia has the world's greatest concentration of billionaires.

Maybe it's a modest proposal by modest people but perhaps they could chip in to help cover the $42 billion state government debt. No more than $500 million each would be neccessary, simples.

Some might put it more bluntly. No ifs, no buts, pay your fucking tax.
