California Exodus: People Fleeing the Golden State Over High Taxes

They’ve led the nation in welcoming illegal immigrants, sanctuary cities, the minimum wage, welfare programs, and stupid Hollywood celebrities.
Despite all that (especially the leftist brain trust in Tinseltown), the state also leads the nation in poverty.
And not just because it’s the largest state by population, but by percentage.
More than one in five Californians now live in poverty, new data released by the Census Bureau indicates.
At 20.4 percent, that poverty rate is higher than in any other state (only Washington DC has a higher rate at 21 percent). The national poverty rate stands at 14.7 percent.
Amazingly, The Orange County Register reports, while the state with the largest economy in the country has 12 percent of the national population, they account for a full one-third of all families in the nation receiving money from the Clinton-era “Temporary Assistance for Needy Families,” which sucks almost $20 billion from the federal budget.
Why are so many Californians in poverty? There are many reasons. One of the first is the high cost of housing.
According to a report on the housing crisis by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, “production averaged less than 80,000 new homes annually over the last 10 years, and ongoing production continues to fall far below the projected need of 180,000 additional homes annually.”
As a result, homeownership rates are at the lowest they’ve been since the 1940s, as increasing proportions of renters find themselves rent-burdened.
According to the California Budget & Policy Center, more than half of renter households pay more than 30 percent of their incomes for housing, and one-third pay more than half of their incomes for housing.
So while only 12 percent of the population, 22 percent of the country’s homeless are in California.
But there are other factors, as the OC Register points out: They have some of the highest tax rates in the country and some of the least business-friendly policies as well.
In a recent WalletHub report on overall tax burdens, California ranked 10th-worst in the country. Meanwhile, the Tax Foundation ranked California 48th in its 2017 State Business Tax Climate Index due to California’s distinction of having some of the highest income, sales and corporate tax rates in the nation.
California is consistently ranked as one of the worst states to do business in. For the last 13 years, in fact, the state has ranked dead last for “perceived business friendliness.”
Taken together, California’s barriers to business will, in turn, harm the poor the most. If California wants to seriously address its high levels of poverty and factors aggravating it, like high housing costs, it must relinquish its commitment to excessive taxation and regulation.
DEMOCRATS who control California will not learn a thing from this lesson. They will continue to drive their state further into the ditch by sucking taxpayers dry, alienating the business community and imposing burdensome and idiotic regulations on its people.

He isn't worth the trouble. He makes shit up and expects you to argue with his imagination.
Yet here you are.
Fun fact: The State of Calipornia requires no proof of citizenship to register to vote, even though a non-citizen who registers to vote and turns in a ballot is guilty of perjury, a felony.
The Beholden state depends on the honesty of those who say they are eligible to vote in the United States.

Like these fine shitizens:
100% DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED
One in five Californians live in poverty, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report.
Using the Supplemental Poverty Measure, which accounts for regional cost-of-living, the average poverty rate in California is 20.4 percent, the highest among the states. The national average is 14.7 percent.
California has consistently topped national rankings of poverty.
While the state only accounts for about 12 percent of the national population, for example, Californians comprise one-third of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families beneficiaries.
California’s unfortunate distinction includes being home to approximately 22 percent of the nation’s homeless population
The Tax Foundation ranked California 48th in its State Business Tax Climate Index due to California’s distinction of having some of the highest income, sales and corporate tax rates in the nation.

The majority of states DO NOT require proof of citizenship to register. So what is your point.
Is that so?
People who wish to register to vote must attest under penalty of perjury that they are citizens and eligible to vote, according to federal law.
Both the federal registration form and state versions warn that making false statements is a crime and that noncitizens should not fill out the form.
The consequences for noncitizens registering or voting include deportation, incarceration or fines. Noncitizens risk that a government official will check their voting record during a background check if they apply for naturalization.
"So anyone who’s not a citizen, and lies, is setting themselves up not only for future prosecution, but tanking their ability to become a citizen some day," said Loyola Law School professor Justin Levitt.

What does your lie have to do with California's DEMOCRAT-controlled policies?
