California has more patents, engineers, researchers, and more Fortune 500 companies than any other state. We are the 4th largest economy in the world. Not the country … the world.
And repeat this – on loop – whenever you hear a friend, relative or colleague bash California:
California provides $83.1 billion more than we receive from the federal government.
Texas? In the same year, they received $71.1 billion more than they provide to the federal government.
Nine out of the ten donor states — dependent states — states that get more money from the federal than they provide are Trump states.
California crackup? Try again.
