California is a net contributor to the national coffers and states like LA, MS, AL, GA, SC, TN, KY, and AR are net takers. California pulls its own weight and our Southern states mostly do not.

shite, if I was California, I'd want to end that. Keep revenues away from hicks and run the state how the citizens see fit.

Sounds like we should slash tax funded programs until all states pull their weight. Or tax Californians much much higher rates.

I would fricking hope so considering California was born on third and thinks they hit a home run.

Ports
Military
Farming
Energy
Tourism

Not a single one of those is a result of the citizens nor politicians of the state, they are a direct result of the natural geography and landscape. The only thing California has created on its own is the tech industry, and much of that has moved its corporate offices out of state to avoid the insane taxes.

I love CA as much as the next guy but let's be real, without the socialists in charge they would be the 3rd biggest economy in the world behind US and China and should have zero poverty, zero unemployment.
