California now has the fifth largest economy in the world, recently surpassing the United Kingdom. But the state’s prioritization of identity politics, illegal immigrants, and anti-business policies have doomed the future of a once great state, resulting in a mass migration of companies and residents.
The Golden State is the most unequal in the nation. Democrats’ one-party rule of the state for decades has helped it become rife with both homelessness and uber-wealthy households. The number of homeless Californians living on the streets increased by 14 percent to more than 130,000 last year. California Democrats’ attempts to alleviate poverty have only made it worse. Its onerous tax system also hurts the very people it is meant to help and aides the wealthy Silicon Valley billionaires it is supposed to hurt.

Not mentioned in the somewhat lengthy piece is the dirty little secret that California’s economy now absolutely depends on, and is built on illegal alien labor. This being the case, and with Trump’s anti-illegal alien policies, California will eventually find itself backed into a corner where they either get with the program or the real CW2 starts.
The elites plan a barbell economy like South Africa. They get to live in luxurious fortified compounds with private security, and everyone else lives in squalor in shanytowns.
Naturally the current American public wouldn’t stand for this, so they’re replacing us with people from Third World countries who are used to such a society.
No matter how greedy they are, how could they actually WANT a situation in which they cannot step outside their homes without a phalanx of bodyguards. Do they honestly look at South Africa and Brazil and say to themselves, “This is what I want my children and grandchildren to inherit?”
One such Californian couple moved in two houses from me. They have Angie Craig and other rat signs on their yard. These Californians are like locust.
america, not just cali.
Well you’re not a sociopath. The elites manage by having sky bridges, taking helicopters to hardened shopping plazas where you have to show a membership card for the armed security to let you in, and mercs on call 24 hours a day.
Th next step will probably be depopulation on a massive scale so that the unwashed masses are smaller and more controllable.
I personally think making sure that middle class people can have a living wage to support a family of 4-5 people is easier, but these people seem to think everything is a zero sum game and also they’re meglomaniacs with God complexes.
A de facto single party state echo chamber, being run of by and for rich entertainment industry nitwits and other privileged twits (spelled with an A), isn't working?
Got a family member getting ready to pull the plug after thirty years there. He’s not leaving the state, the state left him.
What state do you live in?
This is why the Democratcs will continue to lose elections. They chased off all the blue dogs when Zero was in power. Now they continue sliding left thinking that all of America is just like California. They will lose next week and lose again in 2020. Hopefully they regain thier senses again after that.
As the middle class flee so will the economic structure that supported them. This wii leave only the rich and poor resulting in an unstable society. The rich will ultimately leave as more of there resources are taxed to support the poor, the rich will consider it not worthwhile to stay. Study societies becoming unstable.
Ultimately the poor will win but loose as the liberal led industries pull out due to loss of employable talent and the unwillingness of its existing employees to put up with ever increasing taxes and increasing crime. California has already reached its nadir and is on the long slippery slope to socialist hell. Why socialist hell? The original rich liberals push socialism for two reasons: 1) it originally a chic concept among the liberal elite who have been infiltrated by diehard socialists. In the media, education, and celebrity circles. 2) as the poor become the majority they will seize on socialism through the ballot as their means of survival.
