I knew CA was a basket-case, but some of the stats in this article are just amazing.

I’ve always wondered how he managed to come out normal as opposed to his siblings.

Q; Why do the Democrats keep winning California elections?

A: How do we know they have ever "won" any of them?

A state cannot chase away the producers and attract the takers year after year without economic consequences. That doesn’t end well so there’s little doubt California is headed toward economic disaster.

It's only a matter of time before they "demand" a bailout.

California has been 90 percent ruined in just one or two generations. It’s mostly a horrible miserable and yes extremely expensive hell hole now. A terrible tragedy. Mostly destroyed by communistic political dictatorship as the article describes. Those that knew the state 50 years ago can only cry

We moved to Wyoming in 2010 and at the time I was like the proverbial frog in the boiling water who didn’t realize how bad it was until I got to see what ‘better’ looked like.

California is a beautiful state, no doubt.

But it’s populated by some of the world’s sickest, most depraved, and most evil people...and they’re just the ones you see in traffic every day.

It’s a sin-sick state and it’s going to get far worse before it can start to heal.

The absolute worst part about ca is that many former californians moved to other states to spread their progressive infection.

I’m butting heads with these loons on a regular basis.

They are a disease to the weak-minded.

Too bad the leftist destroyed the crown jewel of America. They took the best and literally subverted it, looted and trashed it.

Don’t worry, CA won’t crash, it will just devolve into 3rd world status.

Very sad what they did to my state. I’ll never forget the main players who are responsible. And if the opportunity ever arises to actually hold them responsible, I will be there to support that effort.

Man Twotone, the Kern River sure is something.
Sometimes simply a creek and other times as roaring a river as there is anywhere.

God I wish I can leave this forsaken state. I am pissed right now,ok I went in last Friday to take my 2007 Toyota Corolla for a smog I assume would pass like previously. The results was I did not pass due to a code.

What happen was I took my car for maintenance & to have the car battery replace for a new one. Big Mistake! The tech told me that it has to do with the computer. The Smog Tech told me I needed to drive around especially on the freeway. I told him I do not drive on freeways. He told me I have too (with a smile). So now what? I live alone, no family members to help me nor a friend. My car registration is due on November 12. I can get a retest for free but I don’t have money to spend on every dam smog check since I’m unemployed.

This state I remember growing up in the 60’s & 70’s & California was a golden state. Now is still golden due to Moonbeam pissing on the state. Taxes & regulations is strangling this once beautiful state, but I need money to move out.

California is the greatest state in the nation still in spite of the liberal politics!

I was born in Texas and lived there about 30 years of my life. I also lived in North Carolina 2 years while I was in the Army. I have also spent about 38 years of my life in California. I am a stone conservative and I love California!

There are more conservatives here than any other state in the nation. There are counties here that vote Republican that are more populated than some states. California has more beautiful natural wonders than any state in the nation except Alaska. We have better ocean beaches than any other state in the nation. We have beautiful mountains and deserts too. Southern California has better weather than any other part of the country.

California has the best property tax system compared to almost any other state in the nation. How many of you Texans or Nebraskans pay only 1.025% property tax like I do? The answer is none… Because of Proposition 13 California the property taxes can only be raised 2% a year!

In California the property appreciates faster than almost anywhere else in the nation. I know a smart man that bought a house near the ocean in 1961 for 29K. He still lives there and now it is worth 1.5 million! And, the property taxes on that house are still based on the original 29K price plus a 2% per year increase! What other state does that? The answer is none…

As long as we are considering letting California go, let give Puerto Rico it’s independence and let it go to.

It slides into the sea because of an earthquake, but (spoiler alert) gold is discovered in the remaining part of the state and it begins all over again.
