1. All States where ‘slave states’ at one point or another.
2. I’ll take Florida beaches over Cali beaches any day.
3. We have stem-cell research- adult stem cell research, the only kind that has actually succeeded.
4. I’m sure Intel and Microsoft will love to move where business taxes are more favorablle, less government regulation, and citizens with the money to buy their product.
5. You can keep Harvard, we have UT. :->
6. Like Microsoft, I’m sure the business will move where they can afford to do business.
7. We get States like Texas with the second lowest tax burden, yet the highest per capita revenue- the Laffer curve in practice.
..yadda, yadda..
BTW, How about if we look at this county by county, most of those States, like California for example, are Red with just a few Blue high population centers.
The real split is more urban/rural than state vs. state. They can have Detroit and Chicago for all I care. We’ll end up with the farms, the manufacturing (since inner-city factories are the ones least profitable and closing the fastest), the natural resources and the productive folks. They get a bunch of white-collar workers who think bureaucracy and financial paper-shuffling makes something useful.
All States where ‘slave states’ at one point or another.Not even close. Some states never had slavery ever. Some states did not permit slavery even before the 13th Amendment.
