Maybe you should read up sometime Old Man……“California, the state renowned for Beverly Hills mansions, glittery Hollywood stars, Malibu beaches, palm trees, and the stunning Golden Gate Bridge, hides a deep, dark secret – it has the nation’s highest poverty rate. According to the Census Bureau, nearly one-fourth (23.8 percent, up from a 20-year low of 12 percent in 2006,) of California’s 38-million people live below the poverty line”
See, like your boy Barry, Jerry Moonbeam likes a Marxist State where the small Ruling Class gets richer, while the rest of us become part of the Dependent Class.Bye, bye Middle-Class!
And where do oil company subsidies come from? All those incentives your governor offers to attract business? All those loopholes so that General Electric can get a refund while you have to figure out how much you owe?
Looking at one side of a problem will never solve it.

It is also an indirect argument for keeping government small where possible – when the government involves itself in the regulation and promotion of business and personal activities the temptation to award subsidies and pork-barrel gifts is almost irresistible – and such subsidies and pork are very difficult to remove once established.
California also has added jobs at a higher rate than any red state except Texas, and they’re paying down their debt. Compare to Kansas, the “conservative heaven” that has turned into a debt-downgraded cultural wasteland due to the completely predictable failure of conservative voodoo economics.
