ruled by selfish liberal billionaires who push policies that make life hard for the middle class..... Looks like you've been learning and just when has this imbalance ever really changed? Regular industry is being driven out? When has this not ever been the case?

Sounds like your learning, always just the East & West coast rich? Well its always been this way, welcome to the world as it really is.

We hear now on all sides the term "Robber Barons" applied to some of the great capitalists. ... The old robber barons of the Middle Ages who plundered sword in hand and lance were more honest than this new aristocracy of swindling millionaires!!

(Lida F. Baldwin, quoting the August 1870 issue of The Atlantic Monthly, writing in 1907 about how little business had changed in 35 years.)

(But look what you have, biotechs have cured disease, extended life & managed pain. Tech for robotics & communication, cheaper & safer products, quality control, shopping with a click of a mouse, mega farms for food, cheap labor,all improving the lot of the common man.)

CA has a lot of good things....The history of some tireless efforts of early Californians regarding establishment of Parks & prerservation of precious land spaces for public enjoyment was seminal, unparalleled in US history. You bet we contributed to preservation of our precious national identity & natural treasures, like no others you can name. So give thanks, we set the gold standard for this, we know what the greater God is, thank you.
