“YES! These yankees come down South to escape the insanity, then turn around and demand we elect commies and socialists like they had up there”
I live in New York. The town I live in was almost all Conservative when I move in. We had low taxes, excellent streets good town services, and everything anyone would want. Then liberals started moving in because our tax base was low and our town services were great. That was 25 years ago. Now they have ruined things. Our taxes crept up, our town services aren’t as good, the roads now need repair. Basically, they brought all their socialist crap and baggage with them.
I live in neighboring NJ, and I don’t see any way out of this mess. I remember after the bank bailout both the governor of NY and mayor of NYC wanted the bailed-out banks to pay bonuses to their executives because both the state and city were dependent on the tax revenues from those bonuses (earned or not). They both admitted the bonuses weren’t merited, and openly stated they didn’t care; they had no problem transferring taxpayer bailout money to the grifters so the political grifters could get their cut.
