I have no interest in reading your gasbag comments but this ex-New Yorker, ex-accountant and ex-corporate executive knows stupidity when it jumps off the computer screen.
Your statistics are worthless because of the impact of corporate headquarters location. NY, NJ, CT, CA, PA even DE (think DuPont) are the site of hundreds of large corporation's headquarters. The goods produced in red-state factories of Heinz (for example) are counted as blue state because Heinz is hq'd in PA.
I'll bet your statistics even include the overseas revenues of multinationals like Heinz.
Being a snotty elitist is hard work. You obviously aren't up to the job.
See my 377. I think we were thinking the same thing at the same time.
I think you were much more concise though...
