In a state like CA which manages to be on the brink of bankruptcy despite pulling in the largest amount of tax revenue in the US, I think the solution is cutting spending, not throwing more money down the drain.
- derobert 15y agoCalifornia is also the most populous state in the US. Looking at one figure without the other is rather silly. Per capita, California does not bring in the highest amount of revenue of any state. In 2008 (the latest year I could quickly find data for), its #8 (#9 if you include DC). As a portion of personal income, CA is #11 or #12 (with DC).
