If California were its own country, it’d be third world by now. Haiti-like.....a few pockets of prosperity with lots of poor.
The thing keeping it afloat is the taxpayers from the other 49 states.

Unfortunately you are woefully misinformed (or you are just shooting off your mouth ignorantly). California is a net contributor TO the Federal government and substantially so. In fact, California on an absolute dollars basis is the top contributor TO the Federal Government, and our economy is the largest in the country by a wide margin.
You might want to review the chart in the link below. Maybe even the state where you live is, in point of fact, one of the numerous “freeloaders” that get back more than they pay.
