Leftist California Has Highest Poverty Rate in America

The amazing irony is most of those 1 percenters are committed left wingers.

Though all of them think they truly identify with the downtrodden.


You see their reaction when they could not believe the black neighborhoods overwhelmingly voted AGAINST gay marriage?

They honestly could not believe it. They have no clue.


Guess how much $$$ is spent to lie to people like you who don't know how to study and research on your own .. Show me a link about the left being the top 1%..

I don't know if the left make up a majority of the 1% in this country, but it's not really up for argument that Silicon Valley and the Hollywood crowd are overwhelmingly left wing. Furthermore, most of the richest parts of the country vote Democratic, with a few exceptions, like Orange County, for example, but even that's not nearly as Republican as it used to be.
 
The fine governor Ronnie the Ray Gun started California on the road to ruin. The next few repuke governors kept it going. We finally got a good guy Gray Davis and the big money repukes got a recall and we wound up with shwartsenits. Jerry has been back and things are going rather well again. And Detroit was destroyed by ray Guns outsourceing.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good God man...Reagan left office in 1975!!........42 years ago!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHA

Reagan was the first of the Arnold and Donald club, an inexperienced ideologue who won an election and didn't know what to do, except cut taxes and cut government.

In the same era the Real Estate cartel was able to pass Prop. 13, the tax cut which benefited Big Business and Big Industry and screwed the next two generations of home owners with high real estate taxes, and saved Southern Pacific and other large land owners billions of dollars.

Later two more Republican Governors raided local tax revenue and used it, so as not to need to pass the necessary taxes to fully fund state government. In their wisdom (sarcasm alert) they filled the prisons with low level drug addicts and three strikers (whose final arrest may have been a misdemeanor and led to a 25 to life sentence) while local government cut Police and sheriff agencies, Probation Staff, Social Service staff, and Mental Health (which Gov. RR made local government fund)

We will see the same game if Trump and Ryan get their way by changing the tax code - none dare call it reform - and rewarding the top 5% and corporations with a massive tax break.

Sure, a single page tax form with a double standard deduction sounds good until one considers that as time goes on the once and no more itemized deductions eliminated (real estate tax, state taxes, local taxes, etc.) will grow and the Standard Deduction will remain the same.

Smart people don't let friends vote for Republicans.

Your use of the word "left" is typically nonsensical. High Tech workers are mostly fiscally responsible and socially liberal; they are for the most part geeks, highly educated and have ubiquitous interests.

Don't pretend they are anarchists or anarchist lite - left wing - for that is nothing but bullshit.

Again...Reagan left office 42 years ago.
If he passed something so horrible that caused California's demise even now - then what the flying f*ck have the Democrats been doing all these years not reversing these vastly evil plans??
:D

Under Republican leadership California was #1 in economic opportunities, #1 in schools and as a world economy was ranked #6. Democrats are riding the carcass and California is ranked last in economic opportunities, #45 in schools and dropped to #7 as a world economy.

One out of every fivel Californians now live below the poverty level.

Color me shocked.

Sky-high housing costs make California the country's poorest state
Very wealthy area dear...I live right next to silicon valley .
Also the schools were the best in the land until Ronald Reagan was Governor.

California is a beautiful state but it is a shithole of illegals, hippies, queers and other despicable scumbags.

Florida would be a much better state if it wasn't for the filthy Yankee assholes that moved down here from "up north".

Liberals fuck up every place they inhabit. They are the scum of this country no matter what state they live in. California is cursed with more Libtard Moon Bats than any other state and that is why it is a shithole.
Yep. All of the Californians and New Yorkers moving to New Mexico fucked up state as well.

Liberals screw up everything they touch.

They run away from the destruction caused by their Liberal policies and then like morons help to elect Liberals in the places they move to. Then they wonder why things continue to get screwed up. We have seen that big time in Florida.

California use to be a good Conservative state but then the queers, Limousine Liberals, illegals, hippies, welfare queens and other undesirables turned the otherwise beautiful state into a socialist shithole.

Talk aout fake news, what the hell all are of you smoking. One Dumb ass named chuck writes an article based on nothing and you buy it, like usual because it is a convenient narrative According to the US census bureau Mississippi is number one followed in order by New Mexico, Louisiana, Alabama, Kentucky,Arkansas,Tennessee,Georgia,West Virginia,Arizona, and South Carolina are the top eleven. Same list with Center for American Progress,US New, and the World Atlas Corp. For give me but arent all of these states red states. They also get the most federal assistance. Us educated, hard working, tax paying liberals are tired of supporting you lazy un educated free loaders. Get a fucking job and quit making me pay for your free loading ass. The red states are the poorest in the Union, becuase uneducated imbred idiots run them. The yankees kicked the stupid imbred souths ass and continue to do so.
New Mexico is run by corrupt liberals. The residents are the poorest in the nation. Liberals from CA and NY use their money from selling their real estate,move here ,buy up all the property flip it and sell it.

The locals can't afford to buy a house because people not from this state have jacked up the housing market.
New Mexicoa Has a republican Governor
And a liberal controlled state government.

Due to this their economy has been stagnant for 8 + years. And the crime rate is through the roof.
 
Wrong again. Virginia is not a coal state.

:eek:

In 2015, about 897 million short tons of coal were produced in 25 states. Five states produced a total of about 639 million short tons, or about 71% of total U.S. coal production. The five largest coal producing states with production in million short tons and the share of total U.S. coal production in 2015:

  • Wyoming: 375.8 (42%)
  • West Virginia: 95.6 (11%)
  • Kentucky: 61.4 (7%)
  • Illinois: 56.1 (6%)
  • Pennsylvania: 50.0 (6%)
Ok, now I’ll give you a geography lesson.

West Virginia and Virginia are two separate States.

Not originally, do you need a history lesson for why?

True. You should also know the mentality of OLD MONEY.

I have some money and I am considered NEW MONEY by every standard.

I can tell you, just living here in palm beach county how old money thinks. The one thing they HATE more than anything else is new money. For them it is about inheritance, bloodlines, entitlements.

Let me be more clear about it. Socialism is just another word for the old FEUDAL SYSTEM . The old FEUDAL SYSTEM like pure socialism (marxism) consists of TWO GROUPS. The rich and the fucked.

If you only knew how offended old money is at the mere notion that someone or anyone in the peasant class or serf class would be given an opportunity to ever reach their status, you would understand why this world globalist movement is pushing a new version of the old FEUDAL SYSTEM.

How about for once providing an explanation for how and why the D. Legislature can control a state with a R. Governor?

The R. Governor has the Line-Item veto! Thus a constitutional crisis seems to be pending in New Mexico;

[ Line-item vetoes often end up in court ]

maybe if the Governor played nice, and (from afar she seems to be seeking nation wide attention) a compromise might be in order.

I know they are two separate states, and I know why they separated. Do you? (Hint they broke away from Virginia in 1861, does that date ring a bell?).

And that and apple pie have what to do with the topic?

Besides you being an idiot and thinking the economy of Virginia relies upon coal because you thought Virginia was West Virginia.
 
Under Republican leadership California was #1 in economic opportunities, #1 in schools and as a world economy was ranked #6. Democrats are riding the carcass and California is ranked last in economic opportunities, #45 in schools and dropped to #7 as a world economy.

One out of every fivel Californians now live below the poverty level.

Color me shocked.

Sky-high housing costs make California the country's poorest state
If you use the official poverty measure used by the government, California is about average with the rest of the country. However, if you use a supplemental poverty measure, California is in the lead. The right numbers, will support whatever claim you choose to make.

Better social programs can increase poverty but raises the standard of living.

  • First, people survive longer. They get better medical care, better police protection, better housing, and better social services in general.
  • Second, states with strong social programs attract the poor from other states and from outside the country. I have a niece that has a child with Downs Syndrome who lived in Albuquerque. She found the social services and in particular the educational services available for her daughter far better in California so she moved there. This is not uncommon.
Some social programs such job training, childcare for working parents, and education are directed at reducing poverty. Most other social programs are directed at making life better for the poor.

Last I checked the US Census Bureau was an official department of the Federal government.

The official poverty rate is calculated by the Census Bureau. Mississippi is number 1. California is not in the top 10. The bureau collects a huge amount of demographic and personal financial information. Using this information, the bureau and others use this information to calculate various measures of poverty, one of which is presented in your link. However, it not the official poverty rate used by the federal government.
