Theres a reason why your taxes are so high ???? Right?

Nobody should wish death on anyone based off their political affiliation. Lets no ignore the facts though. Ive witnessed liberal hollywood celebrities claim that hurricanes that hit southern states were in response to them voting for Trump. Then said thats what they deserved.
You're full of bull****.

Your taxes just went down, mine went up. Lots of evidence about how red states tend to make you the ranks of those who actually get more than they give to Fed. Good chance I pay more in annual Fed tax than you MAKE, so don't tell me a damn thing about me not paying my share.

Broadly speaking, high cost areas are economically successful ones. That's why you are cities costing more to live in than East Jesus, KY. More people come into these regions for jobs, and there is a greater concentration of high-paying work and resulting economic productivity here. I'm not saying there aren't a lot or problems here as well, but the metrics do not lie. The Bat Area where I live is immensely economically productive. It is one of the pillars of global capitalism. Name me any consequential technology.company that has changed humanity. Good chance they are HQ'ed here or have big presence here. There is a reason why this state is one of the largest economies on Earth. Like any place, there are also a lot of bad things here. Same in your neck of the woods if you're honest enough to look around and admit it.

Don't also forget that there are a lot of conservatives here; most of the state outside of the coastal areas will skew red.

Check threads on this forum about the wildfires and earthquakes here in the past, and you'll find a lot of city-data cons gloating about the prospect of death here. Not to mention how your Evangelicals allies will be quick to argue that any mass death event here is God's Will as punishment for our evil ways.

I'm not saying it's Utopia out here. I am saying that most of you cons don't know a thing about this expanse of land and spout a lot of disingenuous partisan arguments based on one or two biased hit points from FOX News. Not that I expect you to have even read all this. I get that simplistic California bashing is a sport for you.

That you those are the only two choices, is on you.
