And when the state legislature turns blue and suddenly you can't afford to live under their wallet crippling economic policies, don't tuck tail and run like every other liberal Tom, Dick and Harry from New Jersey, Cali, NY, Massachusetts, etc. Stay there and lay in the bed you shite in.

Let me preface this by saying I am a centrist first and foremost. But I just wanted to say that your post was BS. California and such MAY need to reel it in, but let's not go acting like the traditional red states have not been sucking off the government teet for a generation. A lot of the Blue states put more tax dollars into the pot than they take out. While States like Miss and such take out more than they put in. Alabama is a pretty state, but they haven't managed to grow much through my lifetime, and if it wasn't for states like NJ and NY they would sink financially tomorrow. We need to quit hating on the next man. Everyone has their reality that's different than yours, and sometimes their reasoning is sound. For example, my sister in law has an Autistic child. Not her fault, it just happened. However, blue states are really good at making sure a child like that doesn't fall through the cracks while red states just throw their hands up. So is it wrong for her to vote blue for the sake of her child? Is it wrong for me to vote red for the sake of my business? Come on fellas, let's quit hating on each other.
