Yeah, lets all pretend that a loaf of bread is $10 and the tax rate is 80 % in the Northeast.
The south has the highest divorce rates in the country, highest teen pregnancy rates, highest crime rates, highest poverty rates, highest infant mortality ... across the board, the worst stats all belong to the south, and in the reverse, the best stats belong to the Northeast.
But nevermind all that garbage about how people actually live, folks in the south say they’re conservatives and that’s what counts!
Your description of the South describes Atlanta or New Orleans, both liberal cities. There are other places down here that do not have those problems.
It ain’t just the tax rates, FRiend.
It’s the cost of housing (about double in NH for equivalent property in Alabama), the cost of heating (about $2000/yr for me), astronomical property tax, gas taxes, etc, etc.
And the costs in NH are going to skyrocket, once the homos start coming here and the homeschoolers (like us) leave for states that won’t try to force us into the government schools under threat of imprisonment.
Yes, medical care is best in the big Northeastern cities, but that’s about to change with imminent government takeover.
Crime rates? Yeah, they’re just great in the Northeast.
:rolleyes:
Teen pregnancies? At least they’re having their babies instead of murdering them. Here in NH, the school nurse can take a school girl to an abortion mill without telling her parents. Voila’! Low teen pregnancy rates.
Divorce rates? What about shacking up rates? Almost everybody around here is shacking up. No need for divorce when that mess splits up.
Now, I don’t pretend to have stats, just observations.
But you mentioned stats without providing any stats or sources for your stats.
I’d be interested in seeing them.
