Plus a horse fart/emissions tax.

I'd say move from Kali-fornia.

To answer your question Wolferz; Term limits. That will fix it.

Soon they will go back to the Window Tax.

Wait till I go off the grid solarwise

They'll probably tax my sunlight consumption. The revolution starts when they attempt to tax Life insurance benefits too as a part of estate taxes! The first sign of collapse is generally a government's desperate thrashing fiscally for 'filthy lucre'! And the currency they print is already suspect!

That is an unintended consequence of passing legislation that cuts down on what ends up to be a source of tax revenue.

For every government action there is an equal but intended reaction.

What we want to avoid is implementing a "cure" that is worse than the "disease"

The government is the disease in many instances, Platapus. Top heavy and constrained by antiquated laws and regulations that no longer apply. Societies evolve. Government devolves in a desperate effort to survive at any cost. The grand experiment worked well for awhile but progress has left it mired in the mud of ignorance. Exponential growth of even more desperate measures will be seen in the near future. Growing like a pimple until the pressure finally pops it.
