do not need to come crying and blame Republicans when it all comes crashing down with high taxes. I can't think of a single place that has thrived under Democrat management and remember, you did it to yourselves.

Being an SJW is expensive, in more ways than one.

The people in those areas care more about social issues, than what is best for the country.

They'll put the blame on someone else. They'll never admit that they're doctrine is morally bankrupt and they're subhuman filth.

People are fleeing New Jersey because of high taxes, so let's see how this continues to shake out for the state. As for the freak in Virginia who ousted the incumbent, it actually focused on local issues that were important to the folks. Besides 26 years is too long to be in Congress, so it was time for the incumbent to go.

NYC, New Jersey, and Virginia are all thriving.

The worst Governor in NJ was Christine Todd Whitman, a Republican, who cut taxes 20% without cutting spending, then "borrowed" from the state's pension funds to cover deficits. Still paying for her mistakes from the late 1990's.

It is easy to vote for higher taxes when you don't actually have to pay for the taxes.

Neat, isn't it?

Just like it is easy to vote for "free" health insurance...

First: There is nothing in the Trump Tax Cut for you.

Second: The Trump Tax doesn't pay for itself--it's deficit and debt spending to the tune of 3 trillion dollars. But it does try to redistribute benefits of tax policy out of areas like NYC in favor of red states.... so for instance, any state that accepted Medicaid expansion gets hit with higher taxes... example: Virginia, NY, Maine (now), etc.

Third: The US economy rebounded under Obama, especially from 2012 onward. We are currently continuing in the uptick that started under a Democrat.

Four: We are not the highest taxed nation. You've been fed a lie. The effective corporate rate falls well below because of all the ways corporations can get out of paying taxes. No corps are paying the taxes at the standard rate.

Five: Trump tax cut is for wealthiest of the wealthiest. We are not talking rich, we are talking mega-rich. What's worse: mortgage deductions, student loan deductions, and a whole host of other tax relief is being cut out of code which only hurts middle and lower classes.


So nothing you've said is accurate. In fact, it's opposite of what you said.

The top 10 States percentage of deficit compared to the budget are pretty equal when comparing blue states to red states.

5 blue states in the top 10:
Illinois, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, and Minnesota

4 red states in the top 10:
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina

1 purple state in the top 10:
Nevada

Look at the classic blue states:

New York
California
New Jersey
Mass
Vermont
Oregon
Washington
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Connecticut

I can't even think of any more because they are evaporating off the map. Trust me, these are places you would NOT want to live! Taxes out the wazoo. Gun laws out the wa zoo.

Horrible education. Riddled with crime. And taxes out the wazoo! These are the states with very few people who are making it on their own and everyone living off the tit of the state.

If you want to bring up a family and are looking for a place to live, just look at the Electoral Map from the last election.

I'm not for or against Democrats, and I certainly do not wish to defend SJWs, but really? You can't think of any Democrat-run areas that are thriving?

Washington, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, NYC, Seattle?

Virginia is one of the most fiscally solvent states in the union and seems to be doing well by most metrics. You're not going to meet a whole lot of people in Vermont that want to model their state after Kentucky.
