Why is this happening in one of the most prosperous countries in the world ... ?

@QuixoticSoul You mean all those capitalist democrats in California are deliberately letting their constitutes bask in the glow of unfettered socialism?

@sunsporter1649 You dumbass, we didn’t achieve our economic dominance through [i]socialism[/i]. The same forces that make us the 6th largest economy in the world and allow for places like Malibu and Carmel also create Skid Row.

Socialism is when the feds take our money and send it to unproductive shitholes like your state - that then whines about it.

@QuixoticSoul If that were true then Miss Nancy and Upchuck would be bitching every day, all day, about how they are being robbed by the Federal Government instead of getting their daily dose of impeachturbation

@sunsporter1649 Of course it’s true. And we don’t mind keeping the lights on for you losers.

@QuixoticSoul Since when has Miss Nancy even done anything to raise the standard of living of the citizens of her district? All I see is raising taxes on American citizens to give the illegal aliens even more freebies
