    Leftists like you are ignorant about geographical breakdowns of this country. Even red states have urban centers that are indistinguishable from Commiefornia.

    I believe that they are, but apparently they are the 5th largest economy so that is supposed to erase all of the misery?

    That's the key to understanding the difference between a conservative and a patriot. Those of us who love our country want to see things go well for the American people. Conservatives, by comparison, can only get hard when they see Americans suffering.

    How come the ultra-liberal 5th largest economy in the world can't seem to alleviate their poverty and homeless problems under total DEMOCRAT dominance?

    Is it possible that the "caring" left actually despises poor, homeless people?

    Default Commiefornia, the beholden state, is the poorest in America





    They’ve led the nation in welcoming illegal immigrants, sanctuary cities, the minimum wage, welfare programs, and stupid Hollywood celebrities.

    Despite all that (especially the leftist brain trust in Tinseltown), the state also leads the nation in poverty.

    And not just because it’s the largest state by population, but by percentage.

    More than one in five Californians now live in poverty, new data released by the Census Bureau indicates.

    At 20.4 percent, that poverty rate is higher than in any other state (only Washington DC has a higher rate at 21 percent). The national poverty rate stands at 14.7 percent.

    Amazingly, The Orange County Register reports, while the state with the largest economy in the country has 12 percent of the national population, they account for a full one-third of all families in the nation receiving money from the Clinton-era “Temporary Assistance for Needy Families,” which sucks almost $20 billion from the federal budget.

    Why are so many Californians in poverty? There are many reasons. One of the first is the high cost of housing.

    According to a report on the housing crisis by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, “production averaged less than 80,000 new homes annually over the last 10 years, and ongoing production continues to fall far below the projected need of 180,000 additional homes annually.”

    As a result, homeownership rates are at the lowest they’ve been since the 1940s, as increasing proportions of renters find themselves rent-burdened.

    According to the California Budget & Policy Center, more than half of renter households pay more than 30 percent of their incomes for housing, and one-third pay more than half of their incomes for housing.

    So while only 12 percent of the population, 22 percent of the country’s homeless are in California.

    But there are other factors, as the OC Register points out: They have some of the highest tax rates in the country and some of the least business-friendly policies as well.

    In a recent WalletHub report on overall tax burdens, California ranked 10th-worst in the country. Meanwhile, 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.

    California is consistently ranked as one of the worst states to do business in. For the last 13 years, in fact, the state has ranked dead last for “perceived business friendliness.”

    Taken together, California’s barriers to business will, in turn, harm the poor the most. If California wants to seriously address its high levels of poverty and factors aggravating it, like high housing costs, it must relinquish its commitment to excessive taxation and regulation.

    DEMOCRATS who control California will not learn a thing from this lesson. They will continue to drive their state further into the ditch by sucking taxpayers dry, alienating the business community and imposing burdensome and idiotic regulations on its people.

    "California Household Income
    According to the Census ACS 1-year survey, the median household income for California was $71,805 in 2017, the latest figures available. Compared to the median US household income, California median household income is $11,469 higher."

    American citizens are suffering due to the refusal of Democrats to place a higher priority on security than importing illegals ( non-citizens) for their potential votes. The cost of these illegals is already 25 billion dollars in the first month of this year per OAN. The cost in deaths, rapes, assaults and injuries caused by these illegals is staggering.

    Default Poverty, income inequality, and homelessness - in DEMOCRAT-dominated Commiefornia



    MULTIMILLIONAIRE DEMOCRATS SLEEP IN WALLED ESTATES WHILE THE STREETS OF THEIR STATE LOOK LIKE THIS



    California’s gross domestic product surpassed $2.7 trillion in 2017, reports the Associated Press, an output with places California’s economy ahead of the United Kingdom’s. California now has the distinction of having the worlds fifth largest economy, a distinction it last held in 2002. According to the AP, California’s economy in recent years has ranked as low as 10th, which it reached in 2012.

    While strong economic growth is certainly welcomed news, for far too many Californians, higher GDP numbers have yet to translate to greater prosperity.

    In fact, according to the Census Bureau’s Supplemental poverty measure, one in five Californians live in poverty, 20.4 percent to be exact, compared to a national average of 14.7 percent, the highest rate of poverty in the nation.

    By extension, California also has the distinction of having the highest child poverty rate in the nation, with an average of 22.8 percent of California’s children living in poverty in 2013-15, including 5.1 percent living in “deep poverty.”

    On top of it all, California is also the home of a quarter of the country’s homeless.

    It is unconscionable that a state can be as wealthy and purportedly progressive as California is and yet fail as much as California does.

    So then how do you explain Harlan, KY, which has the highest rate of SNAP enrollment in the country and is 95% white?

    The Congressional District with the highest SNAP enrollment in the country is FL-25 @ 25.2%, which is a Republican MAGAt district.

    The Congressional District with the second highest SNAP enrollment in the country is KY-6 @ 24.7%, which is also a Republican MAGAt district.

    So the top two highest SNAP enrollment in the country are both represented by MAGAts, and both went for Trump in 2016.
