No, it would be the other way around. California already pays much more than it's share in federal taxes (about 35% more than their share), and with an economy this big California would also pay a much higher amount of a national sales tax than it would get back from the feds. They would use California's extra revenue to support the poor states, just like they do now.
No, I don't think that is the answer. California needs to stop spending money supporting the illegal aliens here, California needs to stop the 300,000 or so that flood across our border every year, California needs to stop the entitlement hemorrhaging that is killing us. Things like free medical for life and early full pensions for many state employees. California needs to pass a balanced budget initiative that says they absolutely cannot spend more money than they take in.
Funny thing is, Arnold tried to do all those things. The democrat-controlled legislature and the special interest groups (teacher's union, firefighter's union, police union, nurse's union etc) all ganged up and broke all spending records to defeat the governor's initiatives. No, the liberals in California brought this on themselves. You asked for it, you got it. Asshats every one of you that voted against the governor's ballot initiatives.
The republicans told you so but noooooooooooooooo............ you democrats are too smart to listen to us. You know better. Now look at the mess you've made, and you think that you can solve it with more taxes?
You'll get more taxes and fight over that money like sharks in a feeding frenzy. SPEND SPEND SPEND GIMME GIMME GIMME I WANT MORE THAN MY SHARE then cry when it's all gone and say you need even more.
Are there any democrat politicians out there that have ever actually balanced a check book? I seriously doubt it.
