Don't worry about this temporary inequality. Leftist policies always result in total poverty so sooner or later everyone will be poor and the inequality will be erased.
Seems CA politicos don't understand, "running out of other people's money". (Not that they do in other states either.... CA just one of the most or the most egregious offender.)
Look I’m not into calling where people le live shotholes, but the south and Midwest are full of Republican failures of government. The entire state of Kansas is exhibit A of what republican policies can do to perfectly fine economy in a relatively short amount of time. I am serious when I say you guys need to check your theory against reality.
I will admit that the State of Kansas has failed under Republican leadership due to their inability to balance tax cuts and spending policies in recent years. I have criticized them for this. However it should be noted that crime is not spiraling out of control in Kansas, and their economy is growing with new companies moving there. I expect that you will be hard pressed to find any other examples of in the South and Midwest of "Republican failures of government". Most of these states have top credit ratings and growing economies. You may disagree with their policies on education spending and in other areas... but these are not "failures" -- it is you disagreeing with their policy approach. Paying unionized teachers $100,000 per year may be the standard in the North but it will never be the policy in the South.
I am not hard pressed. Most southern states are “failures” in almost every index. For example, Mississippi is the worst state to live in America, followed by Alabama. Not only is the poverty rate high but life expectancy is low and so is education level in these states. As far as Kansas not having a crime problem, you’re much safer in NYC than Kansas City. If your beef is paying teachers $100k a year, that seems like a very small thing and I’m not sure too many teachers actually make $100k but educating people while their young prevents a lot of other problems that drain public resources later in life. There are no short cuts and magic bullets. Tax cuts don’t make an economy and cutting teachers only makes things worse.
