This is from August 2019. I don't claim to know this site but if accurate it says yes, we are a taker state (not by much but still technically a taker)



California, known for having high taxes, is not currently a donor state, but the positive balance of payments is only $12. Therefore, taxpayers in California are receiving an average of $12 more from the federal government than they pay in taxes to it.

Nah, I was explaining the type of people who migrated to your state "willingly"

And yet; you made the assertion, with no proof.

How about we stop giving the government money.

Every state for themselves................

Lets see who lasts.

Welcome to the Libertarian Party.

[B]The middle class pays it's why it's shrinking....duh

So high taxes cause the middle class to decline?

CA also is #4 in inequality.

CAlifornia should serve as a wakeup call for Democrat leadership warnings

the best thing that could happen is it breaks off and floats out into the pacific

THAT would be wonderful.

Well you know that's unrealistic but hopefully in our lifetimes they will secede from the Union. And it will be good riddance.

The thing is young people are going to continue to want to come here (at least for the foreseeable future). People want to go to LA and try and break into the entertainment industry. People want to come to Bay Area, work for a Facebook, Google or Apple or the next big tech start up to get rich. These folks are young and without family and they are willing to live five people in a two bedroom apartment because that's all they can afford.

Once you start a family and realize you have to pay over $1m to get a small home then people start re-evaluating. Anyway, seen this through a couple of cycles now. A lot going on in Cali.

Sounds like breaking into the entertainment industry. As Bill Maher once said, you have a better chance of winning the lottery. There will always be the few that make it but like the Alaska gold rush, mostly broken dreams.

The economy of California is the largest in the United States, boasting a $3.0 trillion gross state product as of 2018. As a sovereign nation (2018), California would rank as the world's fifth largest economy, ahead of India and behind Germany.

This country couldn't survive without CA economy.

As always you're full of shit, California is drowning in debt.
