@Barbariser California might be "productive" form a business sense, but its almost un-afordable to live their due to the taxes imposed on the population. Regardless... You also assume that just because I oppose dems means I am a GOP fanboy.. lol. No. Honestly, there is very very little difference between both parties and most of the arguments are bs trying to make it look like there are differences. There are none. Things that I support such as negative income tax, and flat tax are not really supported by either party because those ideals support more of a free market and a balanced budget.
Helping the poor and giving generous handouts like we have today are two different arguments. In one hand the government throws an endless ammount of money at a problem in hopes that it will solve it which hasn't worked ever. Prime example is education. We spend the most money per student and yet our results are shit. Why? Because there is no accountability, largely because of unions and wasteful spending. Its no surprise why legitimate charter schools tend to do so much better than public schools. You can spout all you want about voting lines, and all of that, and honestly, the demographics for drawing voting districts are really f'd up so I am not going even go there.
You can believe all you want that the government is the best solution to everyone's problems and its not... proof is in the data and facts. I can put chart after chart showing the data... http://i.imgur.com/0Gx9L.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0Gx9L.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ECzcs.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bCiNb.jpg
That last one is my favorite. I have no problem with helping people that actually need it... key word actually need it. Fact of the matter is that these programs keep getting expanded, more hands in the pot, more taxes, more inefficient government, more debt. The people and government, Most dems and a lot of the GOP keeps sticking their head in the sand. Sure, the GOP puts on a good show but at the end of the day they still want to spend money continuing wars and other shit... no one is innocent in this mess. I suggest you look at the sustainability of country and take a hard look at both parties instead of just one side.
