You need to pay more in state taxes, you have the largest population of any state, and no other state sees those taxes, so that is a California problem that doesn't benefit anyone. Yet, with all the taxes, California is still way in debt and has been for a long time.
Federal tax, again, California has the largest population so they would produce the most federal taxes. That is a no brainer.
California again has the largest population so what California produces should be the largest. Also another lie, California produces just over 11% of the agriculture in the country not 50% as claimed. If you throw in meat and livestock, it is less.
Entertainment? Lol! Who the hell cares where elitist live.
California relies on energy sources from Oregon, Washington, Nevada and several other states to keep their lights on.
Bottom line if California left the US, they would fold like a cheap suit. Many people and businesses would leave the state. Research and technology, education and health would trend down as federal funding would cease.
Like the idiots in Texas, California leaving the union is a pipe dream that will never happen.
Funny how the most indebted state thinks they are so great, they are only one of fifty that make this country great.
It's your choice to live wherever you want. But keep your mind that we pay more than any other state any federal taxes and without our money lot of flyover states will be a third world countries. Our farmers feed half of America, and let's not go to entertainment, technology, education, health , research ect....
I say California should leave the union, other states are a hurdle to this very fine state.
And debt! I would never live in California. Too many crazy people that think they should run America. I still wonder if they are still pushing for succession. I hope the people get their way.
California is the leading state in innovation, arts, and lot of other great things....and the drive behind that Is the influx of immigrants. Diversity is a very good thing.
I said overwhelmingly, now I live iba city of immigrants and I know none who likes Trump. Are there those who do like him sure....but the data is here minorities overwhelmingly voted against him and they vote mostly for Dems. Every single minority group from blacks to Muslims, to natives to Asians to Jews. I wonder why
You are correct. That's how the Democrat party became the anti-white party. Their goal is to flood this country with minorities to make whites the minority for the first time in our history. Then they can create a one--party government forever.
It wouldn't be forever.
Look at how it played out in Detroit!
