Why California is the 'poverty capital of the America'
Almost everyone is capable of doing something useful. I see no harm asking for that in return for taxpayer funded generosity...
At AmericanThinker.com, Rick Moran included this in his post on that subject:
"According to the Census Bureau, one out of five California residents are poor. This despite the state's per capita GDP rising twice as fast in the last 5 years as the national average. From 1992 to 2015, state and local governments spent nearly $1 trillion to help the poor. The state, with 12% of the American population, is home today to about one in three of the nation’s welfare recipients.
Jackson then reaches the not so astonishing conclusion: 'The generous spending, then, has not only failed to decrease poverty; it actually seems to have made it worse.'"
