Study: California second to last in taxpayer return on investment

As expected, Californians pay the highest taxes and get the lowest of services.  Worse, in California services are now promoted on the basis of race, not need.  We have become the Alabama of 1950, but in the former Golden State in 2021.

“California residents pay the 45th highest local and state taxes among the 50 states, according to Wallethub, and they receive the 37th best services.

“California’s taxpayers have the second lowest ROI because they pay very high taxes, over $6,000 per adult resident, and get below average government services,” Wallethub analyst Jill Gonzalez said. “While the state does have a high quality public university system, free community college education, and high state pre-K funding – over $8,000 per enrolled child, it lacks in other areas. One of these key areas is health care. California has the fifth smallest number of hospital beds per capita, and the quality of public hospitals is low. In addition, the state has the third highest unemployment rate in the country, subpar road quality, and the most polluted air nationwide.”

A Recall is too good for Newsom and the Democrats. This article does not mention the racism of the new ethnic studies curriculum or the hatred of Jews and white people in it, nor the abolition of American history.  We are a Third World State, a Fascist State—time to tell the truth.

Study: California second to last in taxpayer return on investment

 (The Center Square) – California taxpayers receive the second worst return on their investment, according to a new study that ranks the 50 states.

To determine its rankings, personal finance website Wallethub evaluated each state’s tax burden (local and state) and compared it to the quality of services taxpayers receive in five main categories: Education, Health, Safety, Economy, and Infrastructure & Pollution.

“Different states have dramatically different tax burdens. This begs the question of whether people in high-tax states receive superior government services,” Wallethub managing editor John S. Kiernan writes. “Likewise, are low-tax states more efficient or do they receive low-quality services? In short, where do taxpayers get the most and least bang for their buck?”

The study said New Hampshire taxpayers see the best return on their investment, followed by Florida, South Dakota and Virginia.

Taxpayers in Hawaii receive the worst return on their investment, followed by California and New Mexico.
