A lot of those red counties (funny, I thought red was republican, but not in this case) have what? 13 residents who vote.

You forget, most of you have your locations visible, so it's obvious to all the biggest critics of CA are those who seem to have little better to do than imagine living here. Take a look at who started this thread.

I am a native californian and I tell you it has changed a lot in the last 30 years, none of it for the better on this end of the state. If I ran my personal finances the way this state does they would put me in prison.

If you are thinking about Mr. IKEA, his dirty little secret is that he is tax resident in Switzerland. Near Lausanne. Not far from from Michael Schumacher and Phil Collins etc.

Name a state where that's not the case.

Ten states have a bigger state debt to GDP ratio than CA. State Debt Ranking Percent GDP 1992-2016 - Charts

Texas, probably Arizona, Nevada and Utah too.

I'm a third or fourth generation Californian. My beef with this place is all of the friggin' people and all of the problems too many people create, like air pollution. And our government is truly incompetent by any measure.
