a. we have a large, LARGE population of lower culture/class. limited education of the mass of these people means they can't work the higher-end jobs and there are indirect issues like how they make public school systems a bad option (TX has great public schools b/c of tehir ISD systems) b. LA is much more socialist b/c of what this population demands of politicians

Bingo,

It is this combined with our Politicians historically selling us out to benefit themselves. For example, LA does not get back from these resources at the same levels other states do due to the sins of our Pols past.

I could go on a tangent, but I won't, since I am partially to blame due to the fact that I've voted Democrat my entire life up until just a few years ago.
