Pretty amazing since we have the HIGHEST POPULATION of any State."

Now think beyond what you wrote. Only 11% of the people are on welfare you say. You also say Ca has the highest population of any state. Do the math if you know how . . . 11% of the highest population means Ca has more people on welfare than any other state.
33% of all welfare people in the entire US are in Ca. That's fully 1/3 of all welfare people.

I know why you keep referring to these stats, it's because you can't think for yourself. Politicians love people like you who can't think for themselves.

I wrote several examples of what could happen if Ca left and you couldn't reply intelligently to any of them. You are like a Parrot that keeps saying the same thing over and over but doesn't know what it is saying.

Once again where is Ca going to get all this money when it has no water to support it residents and businesses?

People keep poking holes in your arguments but you never back up what you say. Your comment about other states poisoning themselves refining gas was countered with the post about Ca refineries. You totally ignored that when you got called out on it. I was in the Bay area when almost 15,000 people got sick from the Richmond refinery and went to get medical care. This isn't the only incident. You should research things before you make blanket statements as you just lose more and more credibility.

CA also has the HIGHEST GDP. Pretty amazing for a bunch of people being on welfare!

Again, here are states that DEPEND on Federal Govt. CA isn't one of them.

Again, as a POPULATION, the Red States have MORE people on welfare.

only 11% of the population of CA is on welfare. THAT IS LOW. Compared to red states that have 20% of their population on welfare.

Again, the thread is, Can CA survive w/o the US.

The REAL question is can the US survive w/o CA. Stop accepting our money. See what happens!

That statistics shows, if CA was a COUNTRY, it would be the 6th LARGEST ECONOMY. So yes, CA can survive w/o the red states holding us down. (living off our tax money). We are more than happy to cut the cord.

Funny how Repubs cry about Socialism, Yet the states they are living in depends on Federal funding.

Geeez you're dense
11% of population is a statistic that is hiding the number , perfect for gullible people like you who can't think for themselves.
You still haven't addressed potential issues brought up if Ca leaves the US, you keep avoiding them Polly the Parrot.
You sound like someone bragging their team won one game by 50 points and when someone points out that team lost the 9 other games you still come back and brag about the one win and how much of a landslide it was.

Speaking of the subject of the thread, points were brought up that Ca would or might have to deal with if it were to leave the US and you still keep pointing out the same rhetoric over and over and avoid discussing those points. I realize you can't comprehend them because it's like playing chess. To win you have to look several moves ahead and not just the one that's next.

Since you don't like percentages. I'll make it easier for you.

CA GDP is GREATER than the rest of the Red States COMBINED.
CA has LESS people on Welfare as a POPULATION.
CA depends LESS on the GOVT than the Poor red states.

These are all backed by statistics. Which I have given and YOU constantly ignore. Instead try to argue with nonsense. Playing with numbers to make it fit your bias agenda?

How about this data?

There are more white pedophiles than any other group in America. Is that due to white being a Majority of the population? or is it because white people are just a bunch of pedos?

Here's another one for you. Since you prefer to use TOTAL NUMBERS and not Percentage as a Population.

More white people than any other group are on Food Stamps.
