And why would someone from the Northeast want to be Texas? That doesn't make any sense, sorry.

Your public schools are horrible. In fact, being that you're from New Jersey, you have Princeton and Hell (Rutgers).

The funniest thing.... most GOP-leaning states are actually the biggest beneficiaries in terms of federal money flowing in vs flowing out. Actually, Northeastern States are getting screwed more than anything.

Well, isn't it unfair, though? It's funny conservatives are complaining that wealthy individuals pay more than their share while in reality... it's (D) states bankrolling welfare programs in (R) states.

Well, what was this ratio like back when the South was reliably democratic and the north was Republican? I would have to figure it had nothing to do with the political parties.
