Another ignorant statement.

I went south because I can afford to live comfortably and not be taxed so high I couldn't afford to live where I used to live.

I am not surprised you think retire people in the south just sit around and wait to die.

Don't be silly.

Michigan is pro-union blue state with stagnant wages and high unemployment.

RTW has nothing to do with wagers or the ability to hire/fire without cause.
Exactly! The ignorance of the lefties totally amazes me.

Again, to say labor unions were founded to combat cheap black and chinese labor is misleading, to say the least.

why do conservatives always bring up california or michigan.

New york has about the same unemployment rate as the great texas

new york and Illinois have lower unemployment rates than North and south carolina
and also alabama.

Why just take a look at the miracle that is Flint, Michigan and don't forget to enjoy daily walks all about downtown Detroit the hub of the American Working Mans Empire!

Youngtown, Ohio, Pittsburgh and Gary, Indiana all stand as testament to the American unions proud history of raising standards of living wherever it goes.


really?

how good would those standards of living be if the federal goverment would not have stepped in and poured billions of taxpayer dollars into chevy and dodge and the unions that govern those companies?
