And do you know what? The democrats running the place couldn’t conceivably give a shit.

I live here and you're right: no they don't. They just keep sticking their hands in our wallets and extract more and more money. No wonder this state has a negative outflow of population.

The top 10 best are all Republican.

I would never consider Oregon to be Republican.

If Illinois is that bad and still at just number 48, I wonder who numbers 49 and 50 are?

California’s in the red. And the next big earthquake comes when? There shouldn’t be too many deaths but will uncle sugar be expected to bail them out?

You and I definitely understand what “exist” here means. What a shithole this state is. It’ll hit bottom soon.

I agree about Oregon.

I was surprised when I looked it up as they are pretty balanced between Dems, Independents, and Republicans.

Like most Dem states, the Republicans have more geography but the Dems have the cities.

However, Oregon is only 2nd to New York for the highest income tax in the USA.
