The California version. You have Two cows, the state agriculture dept fines you for non-compliance in Dairy safety regulations. The state raises your taxes. You have to learn Spanish to hire illegal aliens to milk your cows. Eventually the cows die because all the water to your county was cut off by environmentalists.
