“Dont worry, the librals will find an excuse for why its different in RI than it is in AZ. For instance, Arizonans are racists while Noreasterners are a kind, genteel people”
Yep. And those elite libs in RI need allot of “landscape maintenance” for the mansion. And don’t forget the stuff needed for the beach cottage............. The regular middle class Arizonan’s just do the yard themselves and pay for the medical,education, and incarceration costs of all the AZ illegals too.
We,middle class Texans, pay it out for our own 1.5 million “guests” too....... But I digress... They add “so much” to our economy.
Rhode Island's per capita income is the same as the national average, though dollars probably don't go as far there as they do in some other parts of the country. There are some pretty poor towns and rough neighborhoods in Rhode Island.
Arizona's is a little under the national average, though I'd expect around Phoenix you find enough mansions, and people actually living in them, not museums like in Rhode Island. If I had to bet, I'd venture more people in Providence mowed their own lawns than in Phoenix.
I don't get why every post provokes this kind of sectional animosity. Rhode Island passed this law in 2008, before Obama took over. If they tried to pass it today, they might be the targets of the feds' rage. How about a little credit for a state that got it right earlier?
