I hear you. Hiring a hitman, and voting “no” on a new pro-tax proposition seem to me to be different issues altogether, for the most part.

But as for the other stuff being voted on. Man. It sure is horrible, and there is a lot to ponder. Even the “no” votes on tax measures are made by folks who seem to misunderstand that plucking a few leaves here and there can never strike the roots of the tyranny. And indeed, this “leaf plucking” usually ends up with more growing in their place, anyway.
