In reply to Prophetfortheblind.

You couldn’t be more correct there is nothing this state hasn’t figured out how to tax or put a fee on.
Examples: $800 a year to become an LLC
Workman comp almost impossible to get and if you can get can you afford it
$750 / yr License fee for a half ton truck
Gas almost a dollar a gallon more than remaining lower 47
To name a few
And of course we have the train from nowhere to nowhere

We already have people sleeping in cars, crappy motorhomes, and in the woods just outside and all over or cities and rural towns. Their garbage stacks up, their sewage washes into our streams and rivers and their dysfunction and theivery spills into our once beautiful safe neighborhoods. Sacramento has already done a great job of enabling and protecting drug addiction by calling them all “Homeless”. I do not doubt that this was cooked up for the media to justify more piss poor legislation. You want to know what California needs? How about more personal responsibility and a swift kick when your behaving badly. You cant even get law enforcement involved anymore because Sacramento has tied their hands behind their backs. And yes, if it moves, tax it! Thats driving people to run, not walk, right the heck out of the once golden state.

To be specific about the poverty rate:

California’s real (“supplemental”) 2016 poverty rate (the new census bureau standard adjusted for the COL) is easily the worst in the nation at 20.4%. We are 46.5% higher than the average for the other 49 states. Texas is 14.7%. CA poverty rate is 38.8% higher than Texas.
