That's correct. Include the revenue from drug and human trafficking and it's even bigger.

Your contention is that a State like Wyoming is "freeloading" from California because California, with a population of 40 million people, pays more federal taxes than the 600,000 people who live in Wyoming?
Got it.
They lead the league in squatters too.

it's not just Wyoming. I believe every red state not named Texas gives less money to the federal government than they take in. The majority do at least.
What if I told you that states don’t “give money” to the federal government in the form of taxes.
Individuals and businesses do. That the internal revenue.
The idea that, a state is freeloading off thr liberal blue state is just stupid.
The states are receiving the federal money though. So the citizens who benefit from tax dollars, are giving less than they're receiving.
Sure. A citizen might be paying less than they’re receiving. But not the state itself. Lol.
I’m certainly paying for more than I use.
EVery tax payer needs a report card every year about what services and costs they took out versus what they put in.
Makes people realize how grateful they should be.
The good news is they just asked for 3.4 billion to cover healthcare for illegals. They also have lost over a million people to other states since 2021. Due to bad politics, taxes, crazy living expenses, crime and the homeless issue.

Throw in the fact CA is losing movie filming industry. GA is now number 1 in movie filming. They want to give tax incentives to bring that back but they are already running a $65 billion deficit.The good news is they just asked for 3.4 billion to cover healthcare for illegals. They also have lost over a million people to other states since 2021. Due to bad politics, taxes, crazy living expenses, crime and the homeless issue.

Budget cuts to the LA Fire Dept were a stroke of genius.

I have never even heard a liberal Californian on camera happy about how the state is run. The place is a total trainwreck/liberal utopia. I love when they proposed taxing people who have left the state within the last ten years on their current income. Never passed, but you have to give them credit for the balls to suggest it.
Then you also have this on the horizon for California taxpayers to look forward to.
California budgets up to $12 million for reparations bills, a milestone in atoning for racist legacy
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a budget that includes up to $12 million for reparations legislation.
apnews.com
I saw the 12 million number. Isnt that like budgeting 50 dollars a person eligible. They are asking for 3.4 billion for illegal’s healthcare and only 12 million for reparations. That seems unfair.
The point is an obvious one that extends to all States. Wyoming is just the best example. The whole argument is ridiculous….and highly elitist.
LA is $800 million in debt and the idiot Mayor is about to do mass layoffs.
But hey Utley says its cool, so its cool.
They also blew $25 Billion on "the homeless problem" and other countless billions on the bottomless pit known as the high speed railway system.The good news is they just asked for 3.4 billion to cover healthcare for illegals. They also have lost over a million people to other states since 2021. Due to bad politics, taxes, crazy living expenses, crime and the homeless issue.

The movie industry as a whole has been moving to Canada and Europe the last few yrs. Unions don’t have the controls there like they do in the states, so producers have more flexibility and money. Industry has been down in this state because of a few factors, but one of the biggest was that the teamsters went to hard with their latest deal, and has turned off a lot of work that would have otherwise come to this state, so yeah kind of sucks right now. Know a lot of people who have had to leave and get real 9-5’s.
I’m guessing that silicon valley is the driver of most of this growth.
Impressive. And they're broke, they often have brown outs, they run out water at the worst times, ppl are leaving, and homeless litter the streets and sidewalks of their biggest cities.
Mazel tov!
Too lazy to post shit map.
California has everything going for it. Absolutely beautiful place with incredible weather. And somehow they are effing it up.
The most under-reported and represented people on Earth are Californians who aren’t liberal. There are a whole shit ton of them, and they are so pissed especially since Covid that they have shifted further right than a lot of stereotypical Texan / Southeast conservatives.
If you know and are related to folks in this category, you know.
In 2020, more Californians voted for Trump than Texans.
That's bc the state is so damn big. There are more GOP out there than there are ppl in many states. Talk about taxation without representation! I believe the day is coming when that state is split up.
It is a beautiful State. Actually believe the younger crowd is trending conservative.
We should be taxing anyone associated with Hollywood 8000% for even glancing in Georgia's direction. Get them out of this state.
