John, you can be proud of your state without comparing it to the richest, most populated state in the entire country.

California's population is 39.2 million. Florida's population is 21.2 million.

Californians generate $3.63 Trillion a year. Floridians generate $1.4 Trillion.

Just 4 of California's 58 counties alone, generate more money than the whole state of Florida. California's economy is so big, it is the fourth largest economy in the whole world.

About 360,000 California residents migrated to other states last year in search of cheaper housing. Most Californians moved to North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, or states in the mid-west - not Florida.
