Top 1% of population pay 40% of California taxes--What about Calaveras?

   Before Prop 30 the top 1% of the population in California paid 40% of the tax revenue. Now the government is watching to see if the wealthy, like golfer Phil Mikkelson, will actually move away.

   If this happens, then what everyone talks about, California becoming a "welfare state" could very well happen in the near future. In Calaveras County, this has already been shown to happen.

     Called a "welfare county" due to the Board of Supervisors encouraging more and more to become low income and offering unlimited assistance, Calaveras is in bad shape.
