Answer 14

Is your question related to the present existance of jobs, or is it a question based on philosophy?  I cannot answer the question based on a statistic, but I can base my answer on philosophy.

By my way of thinking, I believe that California has the worst economy of all the states in the Country.  I base this on our rate of taxes.  The number of social programs available to fund mediocrity (see MediCAL, Proposition 36, and our welfare system).  California's systematic disarming of the public's right to bear arms.  And the Fascistic overturning of a popularly elected bill such as Proposition 187 in 1994 (which would have ended and made illegal social services for illegal immigrants).  California is bleeding itself dry with it's Communist agenda, and is very rapidly becoming a "People's Republic" rather than a state that values individual's rights to life and pursuit of property.
