As I said in post #1, the data I showed was for a full year. You are showing just one quarter. There is going to be a lot more random noise over a 1-quarter interval than a full-year interval.
To drive home my point about 1-quarter noise, here are a couple of other recent 1-quarter GDP growth rates.
Here is Q4 2016, just 1 quarter before Toyman's map.
Notice Kansas, for example, is doing poorly in one quarter while doing just fine 2 quarters earlier. Same goes for a lot of other states. So anybody can cherry pick whatever quarter looks best for them to try to make a point.
The only decent way to look at this is for a full year, at least.

True-I picked the most recent one for which I could find data. It will be interesting to see what the entire year of 2017 brings.
Nothing is keeping those people from writing a check to the treasury/paying more. They want a change in policy that will cause others to pay more.
Lets now play stupid. Of course their support for the Dem agenda means they support the idea of funding education and healthcare with tax money. Few individuals could not fund a nation of 320 million no matter how much they wanted to.

Ok, you did criticize an article he wrote that you didn’t agree with, which,IMO, is quite different than calling out one of the many ultra elite Democrat liberals.
Really? So calling Bezos' Washington post his own personal blog he uses to promote the ruling donor class which he is a part of is not to call him out? You are clutching at straws. Just admit you were wrong and move on. You have a beef with Wall Street democrats obviously and think everyone to the left of you is a fan of Wall Street democrats.
Sounds just like California these days. Skid Row grows everyday.
naw you just hate libs and hate CA and make up bs about liberals, liberal cities and liberal states.
but stop and think about what you are writing. In this thread you are claiming Cali is like the old slave states. but any fool can google H2A visas and min wages you find that CA it is about 11.50 and in WA it is about 12.50... and Texas??? What is your listed home state's min wage for visa workers Bentbow?
Hmm? do you even know ? will you even admit it? or will you make up excuses and deflect ...?
What is interesting is that California's GDP per capita adjusted for cost of living is actually in the bottom half of the US.
California's higher inflation with housing and other things help spur the nominal GDP numbers higher.
