The strapped middle class continues to flee bad schools, high taxes, rampant crime and poor state services. About one-third of the nation's welfare recipients reside in California. Approximately one-fifth of the state lives below the poverty line. More than a quarter of Californians were not born in the United States.
Wow ....

- One third of the nation's welfare recipients live in California.
- One-fifth of the state lives below the poverty line.
- 25% of the states residents weren't born in the United States.

Those are some astounding number and go a long way in explaining how liberals became so entrenched in California politics.
