California State General Fund + Special Funds revenue for FY 2030-2021 were estimated in the most recent budget revise at $182.278 billion. Not sure where you got $425 billion from.

> Medi-Cal covers 1 in 3 residents. $100 Billion per year program (or about 23% of the revenues

> $25 Billion a year for government employees' pensions and retiree health (note that this is not current govt employees! BTW, that's gonna continue growing without bounds).

Current pension + retiree health be benefits are paid out of contributions from when employers were working and investment returne thereon by the retirement system, not current revenue (current contributions come from current revenue, in part, but are part of program cost.)

The top 1% household income threshold is ~$475k, Zuckerberg’s income is around 30,000× that.

The people who are around the top 1% are, by income ratio, far closer to beggars on the street than they are to Zuckerberg.
