California Reaches Critical Mass as a Failed State

DATA & FIGURES

The state of California has the highest income and gas taxes in the nation, with 250,000 to 350,000 more Californians leaving the state than moving in each year. The Reason Foundation survey ranks California's roads 49th among the states. Twenty percent of the population lives below the poverty line, and the state has the largest numbers of illegal aliens, the poor, the homeless, the foreign-born, and welfare recipients in the U.S.

THE SCENARIO

The geopolitical and economic context of California's situation is marked by a neo-feudal society, where the ultra-rich and left-wing elite control the state, while the middle class shrinks, and the poor are subsidized.

DIRECT QUOTE

"In sum, import poverty; romanticize illegal immigration; demonize the middle class; drive out private-sector capital; and exempt elites from the consequences of their own ideology—and you’re left with a state where democracy dies, along with everything else." — Victor Davis Hanson, Author, American Greatness

BBN INSIGHT

The situation in California serves as a warning to other states and countries about the dangers of unchecked left-wing ideology and the importance of maintaining a balanced economy and democratic system.
