Motown did a lot for Detroit...in its day. Look at it now!

I always wonder why red states lag behind to the point that blue states support a lot of the red states.

Citation please?

The DemonRAT (so called "blue") states are infested with takers not wealth-creating producers. And these two maps vividly illustrates that point. It's Dixieland and parts of the midwest that are the robust economic engine driving all of America.

The states in the grip of union goons are reliably in the camp of the liberty-denying, economy-killing obama regime. They simply don't produce jobs or, for that matter, much of anything. As a Texan, I tired of our tax dollars supporting welfare queens and moochers up in Yankeeland.

How are you doing? I hope things are well. It is raining all weekend which is better then snow we have been getting. I am so looking forward to the Spring and Summer months. I like it much better.

These days, financial goldmines are built on sand...shifting sands.

[napscoordinator]

Yes your right to work state Michigan is such a success…give me a break.

[napscoordinator]

Well I can’t argue with that. We are all in trouble but some states sooner then others I suppose. I wish I could be President for one week. I would shape this country up immediately. Of course I would want to have dictatorship allowances during that time. lol.

Red States need the blue states to survive which is weird to say but factual.

LOL...Good one!

“Red States need the blue states to survive which is weird to say but factual.”

That street runs both ways. Are the blue states self sufficient in minning, lumber, oil, food, electricity and so much more?

[txhurl]

bwahahaha

Usually the majority of freshly arrived parasites leave after experiencing one of those.”

Just wait until all those newbies try to get out of Houston because a hurricane is aimed at the Gulf Coast. Haven’t had one since Ike and we’re overdue. Should be interesting.

[Jack Hammer]

Let’s hope this doesn’t follow historic precedent and lead to Texas becoming just another Liberal crap hole.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Spktyr. Four of the five top states are also the four most populous.

[Eaker]

Idiot much?

[lonevoice]

Surpassing California for the first time, Texas is leading the nation in technology-related exports, according to a new report.

Good news! Way to go, Texas.

[Spktyr]

Yup, that’s another good parasite-removing environmental event. The twisters we get up north in the Summer and Fall are also quite good at making parasites run screaming back to wherever they came from.

[Spktyr]

Actually, the entertainment sectors are forcibly moving to Canada and now Texas because cost to produce entertainment in those places is much cheaper. Robocop (the original movie) was filmed mostly in Dallas, for example. It’s not the established major studios that are doing the moving but the younger up and coming productions that can’t afford to sit there and accept the status quo in Hollyweird.

[Spktyr]

Take away the government sector and Maryland has very little economy of its own. You just ran off the last manufacturer of any significant size, Beretta. The goldmine is artificial, I think.

[Spktyr]

Michigan was a forced-union state until *2012*, when their tanking economy forced them to go Right To Work to try to keep the last businesses from fleeing. Their economy has improved since then for some strange reason...

[napscoordinator]

I wish it weren’t true but it is.

[Spktyr]

Some may. Texas does not.

As Sam Houston is often credited as saying: “The United States needs Texas. Texas does not need the United States.” As a practical matter, we are self-sufficient in most things and for what we don’t have we’ve got several large world class ports to trans-ship from and to.
