Republicans always say their policies are much better for African Americans than Democrats. Yet African Americans do much better in the blue states especially compared to the Republican dominated states of the Deep South.

Whites do much better in the blue states as well, so you're making no point whatsoever. It's called "correlation does not imply causation"

Red states are generally the rural, more agricultural states. Blue states are generally the more urban, industrialized states. Of course people are going to do better in an urban commercial area than in a rural small town area. That's just basic economics. It has nothing to do with race or politics.

You don't get to saddle working rural people with high-priced luxury health insurance policy confections for leftist behavioral phobias and other fake diseases and marketer disorders, and then claim that resistance to progressive hypochondrias means that you need to offer financial aid to them for mandates you yourselves impose.

i've never spent a minute in Oregan, California, or Washington,

how does this fact, change the fact of what California spends on education, or that Microsoft sells their software through Nevada?

What a weird reply

Where did I say it changed that? I said they sold their products through Nevada, a red state, to AVOID paying all of those high taxes which exist in WA..

Why would they do that Veni?

If they were in WA because of the high taxes, which is the claim being made, they wouldnt be avoiding them. Dah....

WRONG..

microsoft was incorporated in Washington in 1981, then then reincorporated out of Nevada in 1986, they did that when they became a public company, they then reincorporated in Washington in 1993, after the tax obligations for going public was avoided, but continue to distribute software through their Nevada Corporation to avoid taxes from the profits.

They dont have to move to Nevada, to avoid taxes, just incorporate there.. You really need to educate yourself better on tax situations if you are going to try to argue tax issues.

Yup. All one needs to do is consider how cities, the vast majority of which are headed by Democrat mayors, are hotbeds of government programs. Maybe that's why the agenda for all of these White House mayor pow-wows always centers on how to pick the pockets of surrounding suburbs, er consolidate city and town services.

Cities have lost their tax base as largely Democrat mayors have continued to attract more and more freeloaders to ride on the neverending gravy train.

WA.

If red states offer such a huge advantage to business why is Microsoft still in WA? Why hasn't it moved to Nevada, Texas or Kentucky alltogether? Have a clue? I do.

"Microsoft was incorporated in the state of Washington on June 25, 1981; reincorporated in the state of Delaware on September 19, 1986; and reincorporated in the state of Washington on November 1, 1993."

There is no need to leave Washington if they just offset the profits to other lower tax regions.

Why dont you understand this? Do you even pay taxes?
