Doll Leads California Tax Revolt!

 "It is getting awfully expensive to be a millionaire in California," today's Times reports. "With the new year, big earners are confronting a 51.9 percent federal-state income tax hit on earnings over $1 million…. That is officially the highest in the nation."

The resident? Barbie!
