And where do those rural people think the subsidies for their agriculture comes from? Mostly from the taxes of those terrible, terrible, terrible city folks
you are aware that subsidies create a bubble in the value of crops..right?

And the "blame Californians" nonsense is irksome. I'm tired of hearing it. It's become a Western State cop out...especially up in Big Sky country.

This is just more adult crybaby behavior when they don't get their way.
No we can, they move, they understand why their state became such a high tax, high crime, low freedom hellhole that they had to move, voting for the same failed ideas and ideologues, and then the free state they fled to because just as bad as the statist hellhole they ran from...we who wish to be prosperous and free have a very big problem with this..if you like the big government high tax, low freedom state you live in, stay in your slum..

According to President Obama, wouldn't North Colorado be the 58th state?

I love when conservatives are honest. Their ugly anti-American beliefs shine through every time.

How is that "ugly anti-American beliefs"? Ugly anti-American beliefs are had by the able-bodied people who spend their lives on welfare and the people like you who support that lifestyle.

First off EVERY American gets government benefits. And most receive those benefits for their whole lives.

Your focus on the government benefits that you think go to certain Americans that you don't like says more about you, then their rights as Americans to those benefits.

Also, welfare was reformed in 1996, there is a five year max lifetime limit. There are work requirements. So your fantasy about able bodied people spending their lives on welfare is not be factually true, because Welfare which was renamed TANF in 1996 put a five year max lifetime limit on receiving welfare. SMH.

I'm sorry, you're completely wrong. I know people who have been on welfare for a long time. And your labeling of people as "anti-American" when you're so severely delusional, says more about you.
