IS it Political corruption or Economic corruption?

So i was just goin for overall corruption.. and FL is definitely at the top of the list since FL had a horrible foreclosure rate, housing cost plummeted, and it's politics are a little less corrupt than NJ.

NJ has 1 of the 3 significant corruptions.

How about we just leave it as, Florida is one of the most corrupt.

New Jersey can be thrown in there along with Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, New York, and California.

Do you assume the more negative articles you post about Florida the more positive NJ gets? Why don't you worry about your own state? NJ has problems too?

I was refering to political corruption and I really do not see how housing values plummeting or foreclosures can truly be considered corruption.

Yes, corruption can mean decay or rot but in the most common sense of the word foreclosures and prices do not fit the description in my eyes.

Could we then say when a stock drops that it is corrupt?

That is the second time you posted that article and each time I read it it still says that the first 6 people they investigated were cleared of any wrong doing.

This thread was started to bash NJ, I am just posting the facts, that Florida is indeed the most corrupt state in the nation.
