Census Bureau: California still has highest U.S. poverty rate

[HereWeGoAgain]

California a great place, it's biggest problem is that humans live there..

You mean liberals and mexicans...

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

You gotta love Californians. Some of the biggest environmental nut jobs on the planet yet they waste water by turning a desert into a state of water guzzlers second to none.
Then they accuse the rest of the country of being harmful to the environment.
The land of fruits and nuts indeed.

It's a Jerry Brown miracle!!

Despite the very real problems you mention, California still drives the US economy. You buy our weed, wine, nuts, produce and cheese. You watch our sit coms. You line up around the block, by the millions, to watch yet another iteration of our endless stream of stupid comic book movies, or Disney, or Pixar.

Facebook, Google, Oracle, IMB, PayPal, Twitter, Yahoo, Zinga, Craig's List, Tesla, eBay, Western Digital, Gilead, Activision, Electronic Arts, etcetera to near infinity. You've taken the bite of the Apple (based in Cupertino), haven't you?

You're on Netflix (Californian co.), aren't you? They've put your local video store out of business. Where did McDonald's and Burger King and all those other fast food restaurants come from? They came from California. The corporate wasteland you have come to know and love spread to your neighborhood from California.

You've been Californicated, all of you. You probably say 'dude' and 'awesome' at 4 times the acceptable rate.

Anyway, we Californians need to get back to spying on your Facebook and Gmail accounts, so we can figure out how to sell you a lame looking internet wristwatch.

For a state that has so many successful companies, looks like Hollywood and other wealthy Californians aren't paying enough taxes to help the poor. Shouldn't they be giving the state more money voluntarily since many there support the wealthy paying more?

You brag about the companies and the money being made in California, yet they have more poor than most. The liberal state should have a better track record than that since they are all about being a sanctuary state and helping everyone.

California must be the worst for the dreaded income inequality and it's run by liberals.

I bet we buy whole lot less since ya turned central valley back into desert .....

Well, the drought turned the Central Valley back into a desert, just a bit. There's been a high pressure ridge sitting offshore for a few years now, and it won't let any rain come onshore. So, you're correct. You are buying slightly less. But, in my experience of driving through the Valley, I still don't see a lot of abandoned fields. The rumors of our demise are greatly exaggerated.

The central valley is not suffering drought, you get table grapes from the central valley. Every Walmart in the usa has california grapes, not possible if we are dry.

You are a fucking moron. The entire state of California is in a drought.

Thanks for admitting that California is a taker state. It is just the point of accounting for activities that go on in the 49 other states.

California is not a taker state. Just the opposite:

Sorry you have already lost. Highest poverty rate in the country=highest welfare spending in the country=welfare state=taker state. If I go to the movies in Virginia and the profit is booked in California, California did not generate that profit. It just happens to be where the taxes are calculated.

You mean liberals and mexicans...

not all Mexicans are illegals and not all Liberals are far left and there are lots of Conservatives out here....

and yet this land of "fruits" and "nuts" has had the best economy for quite a while now and has been a leader in innovation for decades....its funny how when Cal was doing great so many fell over themselves to try and live here and now with its downturn people like you start the kicking....as Spock would say.....Fascinating....

 

[Luissa]

The OP must be lying. I have it on good authority offered repeatedly on every discussion board everywhere for as long as the internet has existed that only red states are welfare states.

No, red states just can't take care of their own poverty. You have to use tax dollars generated in blue states.
I will give you a clue, California has a high poverty rate but the pay more federal taxes and take less than they pay into. While Idaho contributes far less, and takes more than what they pay. Get it?

States Most Least Dependent on the Federal Government WalletHub

California is ranked 7th, which means 43 other states are more dependent on the government. The top four are either red or moderate. We will give you Maine though.

I wouldnt live there if you paid me.
And you didnt address my main point. The state of California does more environmental damage than any state in the country.

Well, an idiot who knows that if a state has more people on welfare than some other states have people and 1/3 or its households in poverty, then I know they are not the people I want to impress. I guess I also am the sort of idiot who knows that a multinational corporation doesn't create its revenues and pay its taxes all in one failed state that has the second worst bond rating in the country.

Proof? Jesus Christ!! They pump billions of acre feet of water into a desert environment that was never intended to be anything but desert.
