    California is an example of woke socialistic policies going bust.
    The number of social programs have continued to grow, despite the state having the largest deficit in the nation. They have handed over free home loans to migrants, offered free vodka and beer to homeless addicts, and even found a way to profit off of the state’s rising homeless population through useless agencies that exacerbate the problem they aim to solve.
    Millions of residents have fled the oppressive state in recent years. Major businesses and sources of tax revenue have left such as Oracle, Tesla, Apple, Charles Schwab, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Planatir, etc. In fact, over 352 companies fled California between 2018 and 2021 alone, including 11 Fortune 1000 companies. This could happen on a national scale if oppressive tax policies like the
    capital gains tax gain traction.
    California’s job market is contracting thanks to policies implemented by Governor Gavin Newsom. California was once a hub for technology but sky-high corporate and personal taxes have caused businesses to flee. Rampant crime has forced brick and mortar locations to shutter.
    The state deficit reached nearly $73 billion as of March 2024.. The state has been hunting their own residents for taxes to fix this crisis. They have even imposed an exit tax so that businesses and individuals are forced to hand over their earnings to California even if they flee the state, as so many have been doing since the pandemic began.
