Why do Republicans want California to fail? (unemployment, illegal aliens, borders)

[theunbrainwashed]

Why do Republicans want California to fail so bad? It's the largest economy in the US, if they fail we all go down the crapper. As for benefits for illegal aliens, I thought a lot of Republicans on here were all about states' rights, especially considering that since CA gives more tax dollars than it receives back, then people have no business complaining about what CA does within its borders, considering it's NOT your tax dollars subsidizing illegals in that state, unless you live in state. The official language of the state is English, yes English. I'm sure that's a surprise to many, passed by referendum. Voters also approved making schools teach in English, another proposition that was passed at least 20 years ago. Judging from that, CA's population apparently isn't as stupid as some want to make it out to be. So, can we stop with the hate? It's not CA's fault they have most of the highest paying jobs and the best public university system in the country, and one of the best in the whole world. Ironically, too, for such a nanny state freedom hating state that CA is, or so we are told, their homeschooling laws are much less strict than every single state in the Southeast US that bastion of freedom of the entire country.

Elections have consequences.

I don't want them to fail, but I won't care when they do.

because if it succeeds, it will prove they are wrong.

Maybe this will shed some light...

California vs. Texas.

Governors are jogging with their dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks dog.

California:

#1. Governor starts to intervene, reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural.

#2. He calls animal control. Animal control captures coyote and spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 upon relocating it.

#3. He calls veterinarian. Vet collects dead dog and spends $200 testing it for diseases.

#4.. Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting bite wound bandaged.

#5. Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while wildlife services conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is clear of dangerous animals.

#6. Governor spends $50,000 of state funds implementing a "coyote awareness" program for residents of the area.

#7. State legislature spends $2 million investigating how to better handle rabies and how to possibly eradicate the disease.

#8. Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack and for letting the Governor intervene.

#9. Cost: $75,000 to train new security agent.

#10. PETA protests the coyote relocation and files suit against the state.

Texas:

#1. Governor shoots coyote and keeps jogging. Governor has spent $0.50 on one 45 ACP hollow point bullet. Buzzards eat dead coyote.

Any wonder why California is broke????

California wants California to fail more than Texas does.

If California is failing so bad,

1. Why do people keep moving there, illegal immigrants excepted? Hell, I'd move there.

2. Why hasn't the state crashed and burned yet? The state has high unemployment, but so far from what I've read, is mostly among people with little to no post-secondary education or in a trade that is not in demand (like construction)

Weather. CA has the best weather of any state by a wide margin.
