I think we'll have to leave the above as simple disagreement.
Naturally the above can be characterized as completely opposite depending on exactly which facts you deem important. I never said the situation was a coincidence, and I'm objective, rational, and fairly highly educated. I also happen to prefer living where I do. I made that choice deliberately. We don't have huge debt here in Virginia, and we can honor our commitments without shaking down the paper boy.
Actually the likely result with be DECREASING the ability of less financially fortunate states to gain ground (as in my state which is extremely red).. as there is less incentive for taxpayers to invest in the state in terms of education and infrastructure.

Sure.. the many on this board would like to think that its just a coincidence that the states that have the most people that need welfare, that have the most unemployment, lower wages, and have the worse education rates.. also are the states that have some of the lowest taxes and also spend the least on education and infrastructure.
Objective, rationale people understand that its not a coincidence.
