        HAHAHAHAHA "We want to split from the parts of the state with all the money that pay for the services the people in "New California" need and rely on! It'll be AWESOME! We'll be the Mississippi of the West!"

        You seem confused. Thus wull end the high tax rate, maybe end state income tax all together. Lower gas prices. Lower everything and they won't have to support illegals with billions

        Uh-huh. Like rural California has billions. If you do not have a state income tax, where will your funds come from? Not only that, but you'll need funding for infrastructure, police forces, courts, setting up your legislature...you're doomed to comically fail.

        Here's more fun facts: They are first in number of citizens incarcerated. They are first in the number of prisoners executed. They are first in the overall number of firearms deaths and the number of children killed by guns.

        They are first in the amount of toxic substances dumped into the air, land, and water. They are first in smog, with Houston beating out even Los Angeles and now standing tall as the city with the worst air quality in America.

        And finally, they are forty-fifth in percentage of population who have graduated from high school.
