As for the California taxpayers, shouldn't their ire be directed at shiftless California state employees, who are subsidized at a tune far louder than $86 million.

They are performing work* directly for the taxpayers, rather than working at employers within CA.
I like Wal-Mart's response, which is essentially that people shouldn't be mad because they are free-riding off employers who actually do provide benefits. Funny.
*Yeah, whatever, in theory, state workers are all lazy, blah blah blah. But do you want me to get started on how we are subsidizing those damn soldiers? Who seem to get married really early and produce litters of puppies, who then get medical care courtesy of the gov't?
