Boo hoo, tax-happy Minnesota liberals.

As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

I wish my governor would be more vocal about what we’re doing here in Michigan. He was on with Cavuto tonight and I don’t think he even mentioned the passage of the RTW law.

The Minnesota Politicians are upset that someone is pointing out the truth. And by reflection upon Minnesota that they are screwing over their citizens on a daily basis.

“The first billboard went up Thursday along Interstate 94 in Moorhead, Minn., which borders Fargo. It reads “North Dakota” on the top line and “Open for Business” on the bottom. “

Wow, how provocative.

N.D. billboard campaign touts business climate, raises hackles in Minnesota

Cry me a river.

Are Minnesotans really this thin-skinned?

Hey, I've got an idea. How about if MN creates a less hostile environment for business, like ND is trying to do...

Moorhead City Council member Mark Hintermeyer said Friday he considers the message unproductive and confrontational, and wants the sign taken down immediately. He said it could make local and state officials less interested in backing a proposed Red River diversion project that would move water around Fargo and Moorhead in times of serious flooding.


So these guys are so upset over this dopey yellow sign that they are willing to let floodwaters demolish the town.

Again.

Idiots? Imbeciles? Worse. Politicians.

The Rats that run Massachusetts have been having fits for decades because New Hampshire has no sales tax while we have a sky high one.Massachusetts Rats have sued New Hampshire,sued at least one company and has even sent undercover state cops into New Hampshire to catch Massachusetts residents shopping tax free.One of the largest malls in NH is situated *right* on the Mass border,within yards of one of the most heavily traveled roads in the state.Much of that mall's parking lot is literally in Massachusetts while all the stores are in NH.

Minnesota made gay “marriage” a priority. North Dakota the priority is jobs.

Too effing bad, Minnesota. You’re a hardcore leftist state with a hardcore leftist government. Over states want your business base and will eventually get it.

F**** Minnesota.

All the productive people left in Minnesota, get the hell out NOW! It is time for that state to die economically.

Peterson told The Associated Press that he has no plans to stop the campaign.

I love it when normal, decent people tell the scumbag liberals to go play in the street.

“There are policy considerations at the state level in St. Paul. This is not that way to get that message across,” Hintermeyer said.

It sure seems to be getting across.

Good for you, North Dakota!!

(and I’m a Minnesotan)

If only it were more convenient, I’d certainly pick up and move there, but... not gonna happen. I’d like to fight to have my state back... somehow... maybe a fool’s quest, but I love this state, I just wish it had more sensible people in it.

“The budget we expect the legislature to pass and the governor to sign in the next several days makes significant investments...”

Yeah, “investments” with other people’s money. And if people don’t want government “investing” their money, they can move to North Dakota, which respects peoples rights to invest their money in what *they* want to invest *their* money in.

I like it.

TX Governor Perry has really enjoyed playing this game. With some success.

On the CEO’s survey, TX was number 1 for the past 2 years. We like to win.

There is no reason that ND cannot take some businesses from ComDem Country and entice them to move to ND.
