I am a 5th generation Cali native whose family founded the state. I left. My family is still there and conservative. They are strangled by all the so called 'laws' that squash businesses and people with high taxes and insurance rates. The Conservatives have no voice in the legislature. My family is super conservative and are sticking it out until retirement. The whole homestead is geared towards surviving when surviving is at it's most difficult. There are some Californians who give ALL Californians a bad name.
