Is that why something like 1/3rd the nations welfare recipiants live in California?
Again, what is YOUR standard for failure of a state?
To be fair, California ranks really low in percentage of people on food stamps. And unlike red states, there's no concerted push to get people off state-funded welfare programs and onto federally funded disability programs.

Reason: tO
***holes like Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas or Louisiana or worse? LOL
And yet the liberal states are successful and pay for the conservative failures like Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Florida and others... Interesting theory. LOL
We know very well who are the leeches on the neck of American people...
Top contributors to federal budget:
State Dollars (millions)

New York___231,880___135,858___96,022
Illinois_____137,068___60,945____76,123
States aren't people, the most "conservative" state still has millions of liberal voters and the same goes for the liberal mecca of CA which has millions of conservative voters. I have a really hard time believing anyone is this stupid.
Cost me $132K.. In most of California or NY it would be millions of dollars..
You completely ignore the cost of living in places, and then pretend you are discussing reality, but truth is, you arent. I've got 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, 9 garages, and 4 acres. I couldnt begin to touch a house like this in your "preferred" liberal areas..
Your definition is those people who live in high cost Democratic areas are rich because its expensive to live there.. your definition is histerical.. my master bedroom is larger than many of those folks whole apartment.
I also have a home in PA, one in IL and another one in FL, and my income is far lower than someone who lives in NYC and is stuck renting cause they cant afford to live there.
In fact I havent paid federal income taxes in 13 YEARS.. But you call me poor.. cause I dont live in a "democratic" area nor pay taxes.. hahahaha
Ironically, a lot of your fellow conservatives would prefer that you not vote because you have no "skin in the game".

Me. too. C'mon. The most affluent US states are liberal while the most impoverished are conservative yet conservatives want to give economic advice to everybody...
Califronia is by far the most populous US state, isn't it? Thats explains the number.
Actually no it doesnt, because they PERCENTAGE of the residents is higher, not just the numbers.
California is one of 11 states that actually has more people on welfare than they do that work

Wouldnt more people on welfare than working equate to poverty?
