Hi Jeff Here is some food for thought on how the illegal alien invasion has killed California... 37% higher cost of living than national avg Highest state income tax rate Highest state sales tax rate Highest state gas tax Highest gasoline prices Infrastructure ranked 49th 8th highest property tax rate 8th highest corporate tax rate 60% of state and local spending goes to healthcare and pensions Some of the highest energy costs in the nation 12% of U.S. population, 33% of all welfare cases 27% of Californians not born in United States 22% of Californians live below the poverty line 1/3 of Californians suffer from diabetes Over 200 languages spoken in California 60% in the public school systen cannot read or write English Public schools 46th on 8th grade test scores Lowest percentage of high-school diploma holders Illegal immigrants cost the state an estimated $22 billion annually CALPERS has gone from a $400 billion surplus to $1 trillion "shortfall”. More Californians receive means-tested welfare than pay income tax. 35% of the state is on Medicaid. Over 1/3 of the USA's entire means-tested welfare recipient population resides in CA. Illiterate Mexican peasant is the state's largest population demographic CA = #1 POVERTY STATE |
