You can blame one small group of people that did their level best to “bring high paying jobs for Georgians, Texans, Arizonans, Tennesseeans, North Carolinians, South Carolinians, Floridians”....the previous Governors of those states. Perdue, Deal, Perry, etc etc.
They all went around the country and bragged to AT&T and everyone else that would let them in the office with the promise of big new homes in swim/tennis communities, new schools, new baseball and soccer fields, new parks, low taxes, better weather, low crime. They’ll be jobs for everyone, all their constituents will be getting new, high paying jobs....folks will be poppin’ bottles from Myrtle Beach to DFW. And everyone will love their new homes so much they’ll become God-fearing, deer hunting members of the NRA.........Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh............NOPE!!!!!
Instead, the companies moved. And when they moved, they brought their employees with them. They still recruited from the same places so even more liberal democrats moved with them. And when they moved they didn’t become God-fearin’, deer huntin’, NRA members....they brought all their liberal BULLSH*T with them. They started gentrifying neighborhoods and running folks out. And started demanding services and results. What has that wrought? Higher taxes.
In Atlanta, it’s gotten so bad, that the mayor is telling black residents not to sell to the white liberals that are offering anything. But, the city also keeps raising taxes, for no reason whatsoever as the demand for services hasn’t really increased, and it’s forcing folks to sell. Georgia is one of the most ‘gun friendly’ states in the country. The 6th Congressional District, Tom Prices old district, elected an Anti-Gun Activist that didn’t even live in the state. And before her, John Ossoff almost pulled it off. His claim to fame: he didn’t live in the district and his only job has been.....wait for it.... a staffer for Hank Johnson. You know? The Georgia Congressman that talked about Guam flipping over, clowns having no more helium for balloons and recognizing that the word, midget, is insulting and referred to it as, the M word.
Nashville has become a liberal cesspool, with its mayor recently putting out a press release to illegals on how to avoid ICE. And Chattanooga and Knoxville aren’t too far behind. Then, it has Murfreesboro, home to one of the biggest muslim populations in the country. The state legislature sued over the unfunded costs in caring for refugees, but it just got tossed. The reasons.....the AG wasn’t representing the state in the lawsuit, the legislature had to hire a private firm, and the previous Governor didn’t support it.
We will reap what we sow....I could go on for days.
You are correct they do bring employees with them. All the high paying jobs goes the people who move here. The rents are through the roof near downtown Greenville. A lot of the poor families are being force out of the city.
Now you see a bunch of ultra liberals in town than move here from Ca, Fla and New York. I find they often look down on the locals here. They will ask leading questions to validate their stereotypes. They will refer to local people as country bumpkins.
