Very interesting article.

It is intriguing but I did some research and found those 20 states control nearly 70% of commerce in America. Monetary diffincies are inevitable. You'll notice the least profiting states (Wyoming, the Dakotas, Nebraskas) don't have budget problems. Like Notorious BIG said, "Mo Money Mo Problems"

Hmm... Wisconsin's problems seem to indicate otherwise:

"Wisconsin had one of the five worst migration patterns in the United States from 2000 to 2006. Higher income individuals left Wisconsin. Individuals on the lowest rung of the economic ladder migrated to Wisconsin.
The Princeton report concludes simply, "Wisconsin is more attractive to low income individuals than high wage earners."
That migration impacts the financial, the social and the human capital of Wisconsin."
