At This Rate, California

After living in California for over twenty years I can tell you that the weather and the scenery here are great... Everything else sucks.

Californians pay the fourth-highest per capita taxes in the country, yet we rank at the bottom in almost every measure of success:

1. California has the highest poverty rate in the country.
2. California has the 4th worst unemployment in the country.
3. California’s public education (K-12) is ranked 36th in the country.
4. California is ranked 47th in the country as a place to do business.

I wonder if part of the problem is that is because we probably have 7 to 10 million more illegal immigrants here than we are counting.

I suspect we probably have 5 to 10 million illegal immigrants in L.A. than are being counted.
 
Other than traffic and taxes, I like Mexicans, I really do. As a whole they are very good people. I don't see mexican americans as a problem... I see millions and millions more democrats as the problem.

As far as living here.... we just experienced the best weather of my life the last 6 months. That to me is pretty valuable.
