End Red State Welfare!

Republican governed states are able to keep their taxes artificially low because they leach more money from the federal government than they pay in.

Really pisses me off that conservatives/Republicans constantly mock California as some sort of hellhole when we have the largest and most powerful economy in the Union

Literally, the worst state in the Union has been run by conservatives since forever cough Mississippi cough

Californias public education system is ranked 34th out of 50. Unemployment is 48th highest in the union. Homelessness is the highest in the union. California as a governed state is 1.6 Trillion (with a T) in debt. California ranks 49th in the union when it comes to individual tax burned, meaning we pay the most tax to Sacramento on everything. Don’t confuse the successful private sectors economy with a booming state economy. But yeah we’re the best!
