Why California is a SHITHOLE

[kaz]

our minimum wage is scheduled to go up and will help generate more tax revenue.

People who earn minimum wage don't pay taxes. You have to be in the top half of income earners to pay taxes.

BTW, unemployed people who get fired because they aren't worth the hurdle you put up to merit employment don't pay taxes either

a higher minimum wage means more consumption and more local taxes, being paid.

You ignored my post

i ignored it, because it is irrelevant. Seattle's unemployment rate, proves it.

ANYONE who believes California has any sort of surplus is more than a few fries short of a Happy Meal!

Understanding California's public pension debt
The gap between money available and promises made is huge and growing.

What is the unfunded liability of California state and local governments?

Put simply, the unfunded liability is the shortfall between retirement benefits that governments have promised their workers and the current funding available to meet those obligations.

How much is it?
According to the state controller’s office, the unfunded liability of California’s 130 state and local government pension plans stood at $241.3 billion as of 2014, the most recent year for which figures are available.

Little wonder California citizens are fleeing the state in droves!

Precisely! Socialism at work...striving to support the masses forever on the decreasing wealth of the ever-smaller-growing group known as productive citizens. It hasn't worked anywhere else in the world and it's not going to work in California.

Watch a pile of GOP crap propaganda, super dupe. Every successful modern country is socialist, i e always democratic Fair capitalism. See original EU, Canada Japan New Zealand Australia and even the United States with ACA, although we are an unfair GOP mess thanks to a-hole GOP and Dupes like you.

Raising the minimum wage does little more than raise prices....and increase the use of robotics.

California is a shithole!

literally. Homeless are shitting and leaving things like needles all over the place. I lived there in the nineties. It was such an incredible place. The sad think is that most of it still is other than two urban blue areas that are destroying them all

The problem in California is it is too successful and people with crap GOP jobs can't afford the rent.

This is the result of liberalism gone wild. No other state should be required to support California by way of taxation.


*****************
Beautiful California has gone from red to deep blue and from rich to poor. In fact, it’s the poorest state in the union. The state is now the poverty capital of America.

The California state and local governments spent nearly $958 billion from 1992 through 2015 on public welfare programs, including cash-assistance payments, vendor payments, and other “public welfare” according to Census Bureau.

In an op-ed by Kerry Jackson for the LA Times, the author reports that California, with 12% of the nation’s population, California also has a disproportionate one in three welfare recipients. The generous spending meant to reduce poverty appears to have increased it, she observes.

Why California Is the Poverty Capital of America! It’s About the $958 Billion

Because it is 70 percent Mexican?

Do you have a link to prove that or you are just lying?
Are people really these ignorant?

Since 2000 (the US Census), California has been known as the second state in US history (after Hawaii since its statehood in 1959) to have a non-white majority, the first state in US history to have a Latino minority, and since 2014, the first state to have a Latino plurality surpass other racial/ethnic groups. The media discussed the possibility of Latinos becoming a majority in the 21st century,[22] the first time since statehood (1850) when they were reduced to 20 percent of the population as a result of the California Gold Rush of 1848-49

Does this mean 70% of Californians are Mexicans?

our minimum wage is scheduled to go up and will help generate more tax revenue.

It promotes THE JOB --- not the person.. Min wage should be transitory, not a way to support a family. No one not attending continuing education or vocational training should QUALIFY for a "min wage" job. Except seniors and the disabled. You're not helping the person. You're making them comfortable and complacent in an endangered career..

Pretty much. More Mexican than anything else.

California is a shithole!

We want to lose low wage jobs that don't pay enough in taxes.

Kinda fuzzy thinking here. You want to pay menial labor MORE so you can get more TAX INCOME?

And NOW you seem to assert that you want to end Min Wage jobs. The problem with your thinking is that these are "low wage PEOPLE". Not "low wage JOBS"... And if you REALLY wanted to help them -- you'd make GEDs interesting and easy. And get California BACK to damn near free Community College system.

Tennessee just made its ENTIRE Community College system virtually free. Because we're NOT a broke ass shithole run by Unicorn riders.

We could give California to Mexico then all the illegals living there would be at home.

seems like a fallacy of false Cause, to me. A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage simply makes it easier for Labor to move up. And, social services cost around fourteen dollars an hour, anyway. We want to get rid of, low wage jobs.

I've found that right wingers who criticize California usually come from Mississippi, Georgia or Alabama.
It's called extremely jealous.

Don't ever whine the poor are not paying taxes. You can't have it both ways.

After the cost of living goes up enormously that $15 will be just like it is now low-wage

MONEY doesn't move up labor. SKILLS and continuing education does. When ALL jobs are lifted, you've lifted NO PEOPLE. Just created more phony Calif inflation of money. Folks can live twice as good on low wages in Tenn as in Calif. It's just phony money valuation. Not progress.
