It’s a wonder that Michigan is not on that list. Thank you, Governor Snyder!

I’m surprised NJ did not make the list with its huge tax burdens, massive state employee payroll and pension obligations. Conversely surprised to see South Carolina on the list; a Right to Work State with relatively low taxes....seems I hear that businesses are looking to move to South Carolina.

Yep.

Honest Abe moved from Indiana to Illinois in 1830. He would want to move back now I assume.

Thinking more and more now about moving over the boarder and becoming a Hoosier.

[Be Careful]

California is preparing to establish an ‘Exit Tax’ that they feel is fair to impose on those fleeing the state, because it leaves their burden to those remaining.......go figure.

For sure, next will be a federal bailout.

To show you how stupid the libs are about this: We went to a 12th night party last night. We have known one of the individuals also attending for many years (our wives worked together) and he is a radical liberal. We avoid politics because it can get very ugly. Last night I mentioned and described the Death Spiral statistics. And we are in New Mexico so it was the worse case.

When I said there were 153 state/local government employees, state/local government retirees, and welfare people in the 153 and only 100 private sector people he gave the following reason whay it was so bad. (Be prepared for hurling)

Because the state and city (Albuquerque) have cut so many jobs in the last ten years the number of workers has decreased. When I said those job cuts were in the 153 category he said no, those jobs were lost and they were in the 100 category. I said the 100 category are the private sector jobs, the private working people. He said no, those are jobs for the government people. I said again no, they are private sector. He then said of course they are private sector jobs. They are fully trained, paying taxes, and supporting their families AND ARE NOT DEPENDENT UPON CORPORATE WELFARE LIKE THE 153 CATEGORY.

Heaven help us (although I am beginning to think God has given up on us).

I have a private business in Mississippi in one of the counties that have a 14% unemployment. There are only 40% of us paying taxes and the other 60% are on government welfare. No wonder there is dependence, obesity and ignorance. Spend one day answering the phone at my business and any questions about a deteriorating society will be confirmed.

[Psalm 144]

It doesn’t matter. We live in a coerced death spiral “union”.
