That is quite laughable[End Quote]
Actually you do have the highest tax rate. California 13.3% Oregon 9.9% Minnesota 9.85% Iowa 8.98% New Jersey 8.97% Vermont 8.95% District of Columbia 8.95% New York 8.82% And i am sorry to say but i dont see california ever having a surplus. Perhaps if the state spent within it means and didnt rely on the rest of the country to subsidize them. Of course i cant talk much on that im in new york we do the same thing. But thats just NYC running the state. I dont have the time nore patiance to attack your points one by one. Perhaps your shouldnt get your information fromm CNN. Speaking of fake news.
California combined rates are actually 9th highest in the country. That 13% is on single persons making 1 mil plus. The wealthy get taxed harder in California...which is th way it should be everywhere. The average rate is a around 6.5% (a lil under), and you are not paying 10%+ until you make a few hundred K per year. You can't just take the highest number and call that the state tax. worth noting that for all the mess that California has been in for years that they are now in a position of being one of th few states actually lowering various taxes.
Sure...California just gets into the top 20% for state tax...but it is trade-off. Where I live there is no personal state tax....but our social programs are horrid. Conversely, it is tough to argue that California has some of the best. If you want social funding that means taxes barring some mega resource that can be heavily taxed and a company not packing up. Personally, I wish we paid personal state taxes here as it would help bolster education and other social needs, and would also combat high costs of living for many people who really can't afford it....no state tax means high utility, less than stellar roads and sales taxes (which again hurt those with less money.
Taxes are all in how you look at it. Good school, roads, mental health assistance, lower property taxes, etc...you pay...it is a smidget of socialism. It is really when you pay a healthy tax and don't see those good social programs one should be concerned...I mean, unless you are hardcore conservative and say meh to those with low income / in need. There is something to be said for flat taxes...each person is looked at equally. Personally, I side with those that have the income paying a lil more for the greater good of those around them...people with cash are not hurting...so why not. California has diverse has brackets ranging from 1% to 13.3 and I believe 27 variations in total...pretty obvious they are taking a bit of a socialistic approach in it all. They are NOT the highest on average and the are not the lowest...they are in that top quarter and essentially looking at it as 'we have good and evolving social programs, better than most.' It is a pretty progressive state that affords a lot of social and environmental consciousness...so I can't say the premium for living there is a waste.
When i read your post...i always have to smile:) when bimbos say "facts are facts"...and then write to a graphWho has claimed Obahma was the cause of the UI decreasing? It was stated it continually went down while he was in office. His administration returned it to where it was pre-crash. Someone tried claiming that "trump fixed it in a year" which really wasn't the case. The market was recovered and UI trends have continued the same trend they were on. That is not saying Trump has done nothing, but there was not a problem with UI when he came into office. To say BO had no effect on it is a lil silly though. Was he the sole reason? Of course not. Trump is doing good things to bring jobs home, but the previous administration had a bad market and did an overall good job bringing it back
"Unemployment was going down durning the entirety of the Obama presidency."
sorry...this is like school for kids and bimbo logic!
the fact of this graph is only...that the unemployment went down since a peak in 2008! That is science!!!
that Obama had any effect on this...is scientifically NOT proven!
the main effect was the bank/house/credit crises in the USA and a bit later in many other countries between 2007 and 2009.
Obama started his job as president in 2009 (!)...after the peak of the crises!
besides this bank/house/credit crises we had of course many more different effects...
- for example cheap oil from Iraq (90% of their oil goes to US companies)
- general economic rebound in USA and worldwide
- a better position of power of the USA after the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and many other countries
- continous economic, military and political pressure on other countries and regions (which has a positiv effect on american/western markets)
- sanctions against other countries (to prevent that these countries can be part of global markets and the USA can sell their own products)
...and so i could go on...
hehe...ok....in some points Obama had really his hands in the game. for me this makes him a good leader who cares about his own people...but a bad person in an ethical way! but well....who said that people should be good:)
BTW... his statement: take the guns first, due process later is such an incredible display of ignorance that I did not, as I usually do when I read news from your benighted shores, snort derisively: I laughed out loud. Stupid Yanks!
But I do agree with Epica. You misread her statement.
Ad hominem? Facts is facts.

Ad hominem? Facts is facts.
Even in the post i made a Quote of Pia's writing !!!
"Unemployment was going down durning the entirety of the Obama presidency."
And as you can read in my post...this is science for kids!!! That is simple propaganda logic. And all reasons for this i posted too!
I do not have to write it now again!
The problem of such writing is...that you implicate the fact the unemployment went down since a peak in 2008...Obama would be the reason.
And that is not true! The fact is....that the unemployment during Obama went down....because there was the peak before he came to White House in 2009!
A simple example for kids and Pia and you:
people like you say...unemployment went down in the years of Obama...ok
what would you say now....that this was only so....because Bush Jr. was responsible for this...because the peak was in his time in the White House!
And only because of this change during Bush Jr. was is possible to keep this curse further during Obama.
So...people like Pia could say now...actually it was Bush Jr. who is responsible for this went down of the unemployment during Obama's time.
Both is true....but from the scientific view nonsense...because you can read every study very subjectively!
And that is the problem of normal people like you....who do not understand how to read studies.
You have to be for a good scientists very logical...and you should always delete every subjective view on things!
Only when you understand...how it came to such graph, data, study and so on...you know the deeper science in it!
and now this all in short for cute bimbos:
"Unemployment was going down durning the entirety of the Obama presidency."
"Unemployment was going down durning the entirety of the Obama presidency...because Bush Junior was the reason for this in 2008!"
both on itself you could say...correct.
but it is simple stupid propaganda trash talk:)
Democrats would use the first sentence...
Republicans the second:)
another simple example:)
"Unemployment was going down during the entirety of the Trump presidency."
that is totally correct (so far!)! We do have the data and the proves!!!
but it is nonsense:) because so far Trump had no effect on this!
he is just too short the president....and the worldwide economy is pretty good these days!
the fact of this graph is only...that the unemployment went down since a peak in 2008! That is science!!!Really? NO effect? NONE? Cmon'...this is beyond a silly statement. So YES...."read correctly." I responded, largely, to 2 specific things you stated. the above, and the quote I started this post with.
that Obama had any effect on this...is scientifically NOT proven!
