Thanks Cedar Dave
Really appreciate your posts.
Looking the State’s vote break down, you can sure see where the “Takers” vs the “Makers” live.

Take a look at the District 3 results - the heavily minority population in northern NM which is mostly unemployed, or have government or low-paying service jobs produced Democrat vote totals over 79 percent in Mora, San Miguel, Taos and Rio Arriba counties. These folks have grown up on government providing assistance and have no other frame of reference. Jobs that were once to be had in lumbering and mining are gone as environmentalists (who live mainly out of trendy Santa Fe) have shut down natural resource production. Hispanics in my office told me they voted for Steve Pearce for Congress - they know how important their jobs are as they depend on the O&G industry.
