I wonder why California is the largest most innovative state in the union and the 5th largest economy in the world....keep on hating. look around your trailer, lot of things come from California.
Yeah, like its business people, fleeing the crushing bureaucracy, idiotic regulations, and the most brutal tax collection agency this side of the IRS
I would love to believe you....but all the numbers don't back your claim. You can believe your alternative facts if that makes you happy.
But think of it for a bit:
California is 14% of US GDP and 12% of the population. On average Californians are about 17% more productive than the US average. California provides the US with 13.3% of its taxes— roughly 11% more per capita than the US average. It receives about $350B in Federal spending for $400B in Federal taxes so the US would lose about $50B in tax revenue per year. Losing California would be a serious loss but the United States is still pretty large without California. The US would do okay and California would do fine as well— probably better.
The red states are holding California back , I would love for the state to break off....since the regressive in those states, all they want to do is sit on their asses all day and run their mouth about minorities and clinging to their stupid guns instead of being innovative, creative and productive.
