California accounts for 14% of U.S. tax revenues.
If Jerk-off Johnson wants to play rough, California should start kicking red states off the gravy train.
Right on! You know also that California gave a second chance to millions of people around this country and around the world. And by doing so saved a lot of lost souls. No one and I mean no one has the right to trash California.
MAGAts do trash and badmouth California every chance they have. They don’t show the slightest appreciation. Why do we need to feed and support them? Anyone please make sense of this.
We tried the "Dear America: draft dodgers shouldn't lead the military, insurrectionists shouldn't be running again and rapists shouldn't be president" stuff and that didn't work so I wouldn't hold your breath for any other reason than to avoid toxic air.
Blue states in general. All blue states will be targeted. They'll try to take them over, the problem is they don't know how to govern. Watch your school boards.
You are probably right, unfortunately.
However, if they damage the blue states, so it will also damage the benefits that they are deriving from it. The entire country will lose.
It will become a lose-lose equation.
California does not collect federal taxes. Californians pay the federal taxes to the IRS. So it would be individuals who would need to stop sending money.
California sends the most money to the government that bells out the poor MAGA states in the south when disaster hits them. Get rid of Governor Newsom and you MAGA fools will suffer in the south
They refuse to learn. The "HeritageFoundation"-HA! There is nothing in our history that proves plots will provide a lasting healthy government. When they've been tried before the end is always with their leaders swinging at the end of ropes, headless or sniveling in front a of a firing squad.
It is not a good thing small businesses have been shuttered across main streets all over America and that wealth shipped off to California. It’s actually a very bad thing as we are all finding out.
There are few local pharmacies left in America. All massive chains. There are few independent grocers. All massive chains. Uber and lift have gutted city cab services that tended to be local. All industries had a local owner whose money more often than not stayed in the community
Any higher paid work that needed to be done, tax accounting, was handled by a local accountant. Now the lowest wage job in the business is all that is left in these localities. Needs for services rise as the tax base shrinks. Then California’s brag about great they are.
I would welcome with open arms California, Oregon, Washington state and the New England states and heck any other state that wants to secede from the not so great anymore, United States. By the time trumps through, the US will be just another shit hole country he claimed 3rd world countries were.
I think if Congress makes aid conditional, CA should simply suspend sending tax money to DC. We can do our own aid and I think DC will feel it more than we will.
And I wouldn't blame you for it. Trump playing politics over peoples lives is disgusting. This is a chance to have California make it's own Healthcare System aka Universal Healthcare.
The thing about this post, other than being true, California is like dems in congress. They WON'T do jack shit. California won't cut funding to the ignorant cousin with a 2nd grade reading level
Especially since we help all the Republican dominant red states that are welfare states and need our money to support their infrastructure and everything else
California taxes cover red states. And OF COURSE they know that. All is a stage where repubs dance as fast as they can to a man who will one day throw them all under the bus whilst rubbing his teeny hands together & guffawing into the void. EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES DIES. EVERYTHING.
If they would pull out and form their own nations, it would be an instant 3rd world USA And let's face it, they go and Texas will be right on their heels. They wanted the Republic of Texas for a long time. Florida isn't going to hang around to pay crap. The others are insolvent.
The truth, have never understood why not all but many dislike the state of California, they pay in to the federal government 3 times more than they receive, which means they are helping to support other states that are not as fortunate with their economy
The problem is, they don’t seem to comprehend that. They don’t even seem to comprehend the fact that they’ve been sucking off of the blue Tata since the civil war.
It’s time for California to withhold federal funds and if the feds really want funds, they will get what Ms left after California pays for this disaster. Also, any funds will come with strings. Removal of Trump, Vance and their cabinet. Prosecution for insurrection, treason, espionage, etc.
This is more proof that Trump is trying to destabilize the United States and turn them into 50 individual countries, making us much weaker to the rest of the world and RUSSIA especially.
Why do the people who are opposed to income redistribution tend to live in red welfare states? Note: not all red states get more per capita than they send in.
When the junta is sworn in on Jan 20, all blue states will be targets, again. He played this pit the states against each other game last time. He's an empty pathetic old man that no one likes. He only knows how to divide. Newsom will take care of CA. If it means withholding federal taxes, so be it 🤷♀️
Beyond a childish comment and just proof that some of you are same as conservatives and MAGA
I have seen the same gibberish from them when Romney lost and when Trump lost in 2020
Well Republicans are busy with bills to withhold federal funds from Blue States who don’t follow their vile Christian extremist agenda. California and the other blue states should just withhold all their taxes. Money talks.
I have to trust CA and the other blue saw this… Newsom has told us this… I can’t believe they don’t have plan… we were told by our governor that he has secured enough funds for CA should the GOP withhold them.. not sure he saw this fustrastrophy… but I gotta believe him…💙💙💙💙
California should have no excess to send to anyone for a while, until they rebuild from this disaster. Let's see the hate keep coming then brothers and sisters of the United States who seem to believe liberal California is sucking the life out of all the other States.
California is almost 15% of our GDP & is our largest producer of farm goods. American really are the dumbest cucks for believing conservative propaganda that Californians are why they suffer
I think if they attach strings to the money, California needs to withhold all federal tax money into an escrow account in a friendly Democratic country, so Trump can't just get it.
Then put strings on it.
Trump, Vance and their entire cabinet must resign and never be eligible again to run
The reason Canada is helping California is because California also helps Canada. My prediction is overtime every country that California has helped is gonna help California but Trump will still be stubborn and use politics.
I think you guys should withhold federal taxes for exactly as long as they talk about conditioning aid for the fires. Do we condition aid when people build homes in the path of an annual hurricane, year after year? How about when we build cities below sea level?
Dear California: You, Oregon and Washington need to secede . We will come fight for your freedom. Your freedom is our freedom. With love from an ex-pat. Rep Claudia Tenney is a piece of shit and needs to go.
The populace of Kentucky will more than likely be ok because everyone has a garden back in the hills. And as a red State, surely the kumquat knob will step in, que no? I don't know about Alabama.
Take not, all you red state loudmouths...if you put conditions on aid to California, they may hold back their taxes to use for their own emergency and not your everyday needs.
Agree! And, FYI, there are more Republicans in California than any other state so those wanting to deny aid are also denying members of their own Party.

Keep California beautiful, rebuild it better and stronger.
California forever strong.

Who will they blame then?
But nothing of that will improve their own performance. They can never righten the listing ship.
For that the decent professionals are needed. That's when voters are remembering Democrats, a.k.a. Liberals.
Let them have their facist states
Look for them to take CA by force if necessary, like they did with Gray Davis after the energy crisis (brought on by enron).
Wasn't their an ancient city that had the mother wolf and her two cubs as a symbol?
As DC falls, we should check out what happened BC.
It's ANCIENT HISTORY. And, history repeats itself.
Hit 'em where it hurts!
As a young man I attended a conference in San Diego with my wife. We both were very impressed with the state.
I realized Republicans just want people to hate what ain’t Red.
People will get it.
Of Brotherly Love loves you
Don't Bite the state that funds you.
Love,
California
We give and we give and we give (and I mean MONEY AND FOOD) and we get nothing but hate in return.
SCREW THE REST OF THE USA-they have almost NOTHING in common with us anyway.
CAL-EXIT!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Spineless Republican Senators and Congress.
Take care.
And when they do, there are a few obstacle courses to get through to get that aid.
They certainly don't let it be known it's there.
I have seen the same gibberish from them when Romney lost and when Trump lost in 2020
The fact that you can TRY and compare the two makes YOU the fool, not I
