The liberal/Marxist/Socialist UTOPIA that is California....

Nice post. The few libbies who bragged about the states economy forgot to mention how much they tax and spend out there.
This state shows exactly how to squander a good thing.

 

California has a lower murder rate than Florida and a much lower murder rate than deep red states like Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

 

Most Californians pay less in total state and local taxes than Texans. Only difference is that the rich pay more in California.

Texas? More like Taxas

 

States rights! It seems you should care more about states taking & spending YOUR money. Here ya go!

pretty easy to be a “low tax” state when you leech off the rest of us.

 

Cons right now

 

I think that’s a little misleading. By far the largest economic sector in California is finance, insurance, and real estate. Real estate is a whole lot more expensive in California than other places as are, I presume, insurance rates. Having to spend so much for real estate and spending so much to insure the real estate as well as insuring cars and other things, is going to generate a boatload of economic activity. That level of economic activity, however, does not necessarily benefit everyone.

 

Next you’re going to tell me it’s misleading because California has a large population.

 

I have no idea the criteria, but I noticed that the top 4 states in your study are from the radical socialist states of Mass, NJ, Conn and NY. That must be an error, right?

 

It's not misleading at all but thanks for playing. The numbers are the numbers.

 

Based on actual data.

 

Cherry picking.
Look at how California public universities are ranked. How many in the top 10? Is it 5 or 6, I forget.
