I guess, my point was, I don't understand why people pay so much money to live in places like CA, NY, NJ, where life can be totally chaotic, high crime, failing schools, crazy traffic, ghettos, racial tension, etc. The quality of life here in Heartland is pretty good and people still talk to each other, wave at each other. When I lived in NJ, people were so rude, always angry, my apt was a dump and I paid over $1000/month for it, not to mention you could not find a home for less than 400K, property taxes in NJ were the highest in the country, it did not make a lot of sense!

Isn't it vaguely ironic to claim to be humble, while being so exclusionary and prideful to consider oneself one of the few "true" Americans?

For many people it beats living with chickens and cows. Have fun in cornfield heaven.

Wyoming is a still pretty good place to live but lots of people from California have moved into the state the past several years.

Guess what? ANYONE who is a legal citizen and pays taxes is a REAL American....you want America to yourselves I'd gladly let YOU support the rest of the country with your taxes....

--Anyone who is a legal citizen and pays taxes is a REAL American--

But that--pays taxes--part eliminates about 47% of the legal citizens

Very little racial tension in this part of the country, most minorities and Whites get along just fine, no ghettos, no gangs, no Hispanic or Black ghettos
