California is the largest state by population in the United States. Alaska has the most land, but very few people. Despite the population advantage (fifty-three House Reps: the largest delegation in Washington), California’s governing class insists on imposing ruinous policies taxing the makers and making more takers. Because of such short-sighted political moves, residents are streaming out of the state, following businesses and jobs to business-friendly states like Arizona, Nevada, and even Oregon. Because of the ongoing California exodus, Texas may overtake California as the most populous state within a decade.
