Not to be combative, my personal take as an ex-Californian is that this is only pretend socialism, a "beard" to hide the reality of the Democrats and associated bureaucrats who have been robbing the state for years. It's "legal corruption."
Here's a link I hope you would pass on to all other Californians, as I have with my extended family and friends there:
All pensions "21,535,311 records found – Page 1 of 430,707"Corruption, saying all the "nice" progressive "we care" stuff has been ripping off the state for decades, and much of California media has been assisting them.
Not a pretend socialism there are so many hand out programs that the tax payer is footing it’s a magnet for the parasites they land here more then any place in the U.S. they know a gravy train when they see one.
The MSM makes sure the word is always out for the ride.
