Lefty Vermont also has no permit needed conceal carry and other very constitutional firearms laws - yet has very low gun crime and no gun mayhem in the streets.

Explain how this can be, Liberals.

A couple of those 50 experiments are going to cater to the poor, who cannot possibly afford the high taxes.

Very few minorities milking the system compared to say, Mississippi.

Republicans have held Mississippi for a long time now and still haven't done anything with it.

Most young people leave this state. If they didn't we'd have much higher unemployment rates. Moreover, many people are working low wage unskilled jobs despite having college degrees. It's not as rosy as the stats may suggest.

Vermont is a mess. Most everyone works several part-time jobs. The taxes are through the roof. Beautiful state though. If you have money it's a great place to live. But like artctichomesteader said most of it's young people leave the state.

Vermont has the second lowest population in the union, a population which is 95.3 White, and less stipulations on weapon possession than any other state. Of course leftists never let facts get in the way of a hysterical, bigoted rant.
