Ain't that the truth! You see it all the time in this forum. When the lefty liberals are presented with the facts and they can't deny or debate them they resort to either sarcasm or personal attacks. Like a bunch of kids on a kindergarten playground.

Funny considering California has a bigger economy than some countries and is responsible for a large portion of America’s economy.

Do you want to rethink your ridiculous statement???
Of course there are 73 million of you. But 81 is bigger than that

Those states except for MS are too far north so their winters are more severe. Would rather not live on a coastline where they get hurricanes either. I favor Arkansas above all of them.

I'm not a leftist, and there was not even a hint of sarcasm in my post. I was actually going for a little humor. We see how well that went.

I love my beautiful California and I hate what they're doing to it.

I was born in Redwood City, California in 1948 as were my mother and father before me. I am a fifth generation Californian my great great grandfather having jumped a Russian whaling ship in San Francisco two years before the gold rush in 1846.

I've lived in San Carlos, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Santa Clara and even Santa Cruz for a very short period of time.

I remember it a perfect place to grow up when the El Camino was a two lane road with orchards on each side between the metropolitan areas of Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara. Orchards where pears and prunes where I would go pick fruit to make extra money in summer.

I remember nothing but orchards and string bean fields all around the San Jose airport. We used to make fun about people who lived in Milpitas because it was so far out in the sticks.

First place I lived was this house in San Carlos.



Two bedroom, single bath, one car garage and I do remember my bedroom window was at the far right corner of the house.

My grandfather was was the developer who built these homes and this particular one he sold for $9,000.

Today it is valued at $1.7 million. Who can afford to live there?

First house my parents purchased was a four bedroom, two bath home in Santa Clara for $29,900 in 1960.

My family was in two states... California and South Dakota. My grandmother on my mothers side moved from South Dakota to Palo Alto when she was a young girl around 1910.

Today with the exception of one aunt who is 95 and two cousins everyone has left the golden state. It seems that Arizona and Idaho got the great majority of the refugees.

Every three to five years we go visit the few relatives we have left and like anyone we drive around looking at the homes we used to live in. I can hardly recognize it anymore. It's like a foreign land.

Tucker is not wrong. I'm a ca native and about ten yrs ago I noticed that things were on the decline. More and more big companies are leaving. Ca is rife for a serious brain drain. More and more middle and upper middle class people are leaving and taking their talents and tax revenue with them. More and more low skilled people from the countries south of the border are eagerly taking their places. I have no real beef with these people coming here. It's our management that is the problem.

The 0.1% billionaire class has already gutted the the lower middle class, now with the changes made to the h1b1 visa, expect the middle class stem people to start taking a hit.

These people won't be happy until they get it all and our politicians are selling us all out getting rich on our expense.

Sadly, they keep voting the same way. I know, because my state (AZ) is going down the same road due to all the Californians moving in.

Where are we all going to run to next to flee these new Democratic policies in Arizona? We are quickly running out of states.
The city of Detroit has been voting Democratic since 1962. Nobody learned the lesson from that disaster.
