As he was sworn in for a record fourth term, Gov. Jerry Brown charted an ambitious new goal on Monday for California in its fight against climate change, challenging the nation's most populous state to increase renewable energy use to 50 percent in the next 15 years.

"The middle class is a minority of voters."

Please clarify if the middle class is the biggest voting group that doesn’t actually get out to vote. Or if they get out to vote, they don’t have enough votes for politicians to worry about.

A link to substantiate your claim would be appreciated.

The middle class votes but are far outnumbered by the welfare and government voters which in the last 20 years outvote the middle class when years ago they didn't vote but have been recently became organized and now vote in the same percentage as the middle class.

I've been voting for 57 years and have watched it happen.

I spent 18 years on the Republican State Central Committee and watched the transformation in the numbers personally.

That's the only source I need you dry behind the ears leach!!!!

I have absolutely no problem believing that the working middle class is now a minority of CA’s voting population, as another poster claimed. Its long known to have been shrinking while the population of recent poor, illiterate entrants has skyrocketed in the past twenty years.

The Exodus for California taxpayers and businesses has just gone into hyper drive. The waves of illegal aliens in California are bleeding the state, Gov. Moonbeam. Democrat policies and regulations are killing the state. The public union parasites are killing the host.

Unfortunately the next moonbeam will be worse.

The Dems waiting in the wings for their turn will make Jerry Brown look like a far right conservative.
