Arizona is in the top ten.

A lot of the people moving here are Californians and New Yorkers. It is insulting because I know personally a lot of them moving here are not people leaving their states because they disagree with the policies there, but rather that they disagree with the results.

That means these idiots are just going to create the same moronic government here that they fled from. I can already see their filth tainting the local governments so far.

You can't fix stupid. It needs to be put down. That is the only solution.

Funny states with 11/12% unemployment top the list, like Arizona, but states with 6/7% Unemplyment are at the Bottom, like Massachusetts.

Because it's a right wing propaganda piece. If you look at link I posted on page 2, it shows the real numbers.

How are their education systems? Public schools, universities? Minnesota is not a "right to work" state but we have a surplus of big companies that keep their headquarters here because of the quality of people, the education ect. Cargill, General Mills, Pillsbury, 3M, Best Buy...the list goes on and on.

There is more to life than trailer parks and tons of cheap, uneducated workers. I know the utopia you Repubs dream of is a nation of 1 billion mostly ignorant and poor workers with most of the wealth with a few people. But the problem is? Most of you will fall into the poor category the day that happens.

In my county, 5 of the 8 high schools are on Newsweeks Best High Schools list. The high school where my children will attend is currently #100, and one of the first comprehensive high schools on the list. There are more than 35 colleges and universities in the area.

Nissan recently relocated its HQ to my county, and Mars Petcare & Jackson Life also have their headquarters here, as well as 37 other national companies. Those are just the ones in my suburban county.

I live in one of 20 wealthiest counties in the country. I can walk to a dozen celebrities' houses from my front door.

Low taxes, great schools, gorgeous rolling hills, tons of creative people, an average income level above $100K, yeah, life here really sucks.

Default Deep Blue California Named Worst State For Business - This Is Where Obama Is Taking Us

Quote:
So much for the idea of West is best. In an annual survey, executives ranked California as the worst place to do business for the eighth year in a row.
Chief Executive magazine has only been conducting its survey for eight years. Texas has been top-ranked every year.

The loony liberals in California reap what they sow. This is what's in store for America if the liberals continue to be in charge of the federal government.
