Received this email from CA Gov Gavin Newsom today, thought it would be fun to share.
Also, a much prettier image than the face we see in most DKos stories, you’re welcome.
We have been getting a lot of attention on Fox News lately, but here are some cold, hard FACTS you won't hear on that network.
- Middle class families in California pay LESS in taxes than in states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
- 50 million of the 52 million jobs created since the Cold War have been created in Democratic administrations. Republican presidents have one thing in common: recession.
- Life expectancy, infant mortality, deaths of despair, wages and uninsured rates are all worse off in red states.
- For Greg Abbott: California is the fourth largest economy in the WORLD. We contribute $83 billion to the federal government while Texas takes $71 billion.
- California is #1 in manufacturing, #1 in farming, #1 in new business starts, #1 in tech and VC investments, #1 in Fortune 500 companies, and the #1 public higher education system in the country.
- California has some of the strongest gun laws in the country and as a result has a 43% lower gun death rate than the rest of the U.S. according to data from the CDC while President Trump oversaw the largest spike in homicides recorded in U.S. history.
- Republicans across the country are fanning the flames of culture wars to distract from the fact that on health, wealth, and economic outcomes they are failing.
- When Democrats go on OFFENSE, we WIN.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
Gavin Newsom
