Dear fellow Californians

A point of fact:

California pays more out in Federal taxes then it receives in Federal taxes.

So in essence, Trump doesn't want to give even some of it back to us with this ridiculous FEMA denial.

What a piece of shit he is. A thief.

In January 2017, the California Legislative Analyst’s Office said by several measures California is, indeed, a donor state, but just barely. It receives $0.99 in federal expenditures per dollar of taxes paid, which is below the national average return for states of $1.22 per dollar paid, according to its review of a 2015 New York Comptroller study.

That study ranked California 42nd among the fifty states and the District of Columbia for the amount of federal per capita expenditure ($9,172).
