Tax the hell out of the super rich Hollywood actors and get them to bail out their state before all their citizens start moving to other states.
I'd rather take my chances with West Nile than deal with Californicated left wing ideologies.

“The benefit to commercial businesses is they receive affordable low-cost loans, including some as low as 1 percent per year,” Armstrong said. “The benefit to the state’s public is a more affordable and competitive rate for student loans and home mortgages.”

Plenty of disgusting replies from people who believe all that muck that the media shoves down their throats.

Who would be the main victims?
The citizens of coarse.
Who would be the main benefactors?
Also the citizens. The end of one kind of system marks the beginning of a new an improved beta economy. One without career politicians, and their constant greed and collusion with the private sector. A true and fair media owned and moderated by the people. A brand new banking system.
Who would be the main beneficiaries?
The citizens.
