California leads the nation in poverty
DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED
One in five Californians live in poverty, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report.
Using the Supplemental Poverty Measure, which accounts for regional cost-of-living, the average poverty rate in California from 2014 through 2016 stood at 20.4 percent, the highest among the states. The national average over that period of time was 14.7 percent.
California has consistently topped national rankings of poverty. While the state only accounts for about 12 percent of the national population, for example, Californians comprise one-third of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families beneficiaries.
California’s unfortunate distinction includes being home to approximately 22 percent of the nation’s homeless population
The Tax Foundation ranked California 48th in its 2017 State Business Tax Climate Index due to California’s distinction of having some of the highest income, sales and corporate tax rates in the nation.

post hoc ergo propter hoc [after that, therefore because of that]
Does the liberal policy of CA
CAUSE the problem, or
does the liberal policy of CA respond to the problem?
Anti-libs love to imply liberalism is an abject failure.
In some cases it is.
Guess what.
In some cases, failures have occurred related to ostensible conservatism too.
Ever hear of 09/11/01? Do liberalism-bashers blame the terrorist attacks of 09/11/01 on President Bush? The advocate of "compassionate conservatism"?

You have your opinion."does it look like they suck at it?....." PP #9
I have mine.
Californians have their own opinion on the matter.
I suspect your opinion and mine should have no more bearing on how they run their State
than their opinion should bear on how you run yours, or I run mine.
I've never been to the left coast. I have no plan ever to go there.

JUST A STREET SCENE IN DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED CALIFORNIA
One in five Californians lives in poverty, the highest rate in the country, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
An estimated 20.4 percent of Californians lived below the poverty line in a three-year average of 2014, 2015 and 2016. That is virtually unchanged from the 20.6 percent average for 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Nationwide, 14.7 percent of people lived in poverty under the supplemental measure during the latest three-year average. That is down slightly from 15.1 percent for the previous three years.

I grant partial credit for being right for the wrong reason.
But California is not merely a national hub, but a global hub for some of the most successful commercial entities known to man.
Obviously that includes Google and attendant others.
It includes all of silicon valley.
I suspect there's a shred of truth about CA poverty.
But it's unclear to me whether even if so, it's because California CAUSES poverty,
or attracts the impoverished.
They are not the same.

not "because of" California.....those businesses would do even better in a land of lower taxes......
so you're saying its sort of a national hub of poverty?......it's because California CAUSES poverty, or attracts the impoverished.

Reductio ad absurdum:
By YOUR logic:
If the current level of $taxation in California is bad, and
cutting the California $tax burden in half would be twice as good, then
eliminating all taxation in California would be optimal.
Right?
"Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die. ... People want the public services. We can't have the public services without some level of taxation."

How you get "national hub of poverty" out of that:"California is not merely a national hub, but a global hub for some of the most successful commercial entities known to man." s
