“Doesn’t have a passport” became “allegedly” pretty quickly.

All that reaching and you still came up short….

You do seem like a guy that doesn’t have a passport. Because you give off all the world has to offer is Nordstrom racks and Texas Roadhouse

In any event, taxes be high as shite

Do frick is Minn pulling down an average of a cool $1mil per taxpayer?

The average Minn isn't making that much.

Iowa too. Almost 3/4mill. Outrageous considering the services we get.

All that worldly sophistication and your insult is a shopping center directory.

Have the last word, Mingo. I’ll leave it on the bottom shelf for you...

It's really not. So many bad arse places in Europe. Plenty of places with better quality of life, higher wages, better health care, better public services, cleaner, less crime, better/more scenic landscape

Most people see Europe only on youtube. They think the entire continent is like the ghettos of Paris or London.

I admit I am not a fan of western Europe, but I love me some eastern Europe and the Balkan states.

The people who think Louisiana is a low tax state are either godawful at math, broke, or most likely both.


wait...are there people saying that? wtf

hell no LA isnt a low tax state.

now could it get there over next decade...possibly.

but sales tax is one of the highest in the nation which would be fine, but also getting hit with property, income etc


not to mention the facilities at schools do not match the amount taxed. LA will not every have crazy good public schools due to demographics but the facilities should be better

instead we have an insanely huge state gov and its hard AF to cut anything as most real changes would take a change to the state constitution

Fair. “Here’s the door” was unnecessary. And if we’re keeping the comparison to Louisiana, fine.

But you answered the same-occupation wage question with “Higher.” Which occupation, in which city, compared with where in Louisiana? You listed four cities. One word doesn’t establish that comparison.

Then taxes and housing depend on the city, transportation and childcare are unknown, and leisure time apparently can’t be compared because jobs differ. That’s why I asked about comparable workers in the first place.

Safer streets and better public services absolutely count. But what does the family actually earn, what does its life cost, and what does it get in return?

You may have a good case. So far, you’ve supplied the conclusion and gotten annoyed that I asked for the math.


You tone and word choice reminds me of Claude.

Could be worse. You could live in Illinois and pay California taxes to have a Missouri quality of life.


Yeah, southern Illinois has to be the absolute worse region to live. You are governed and taxed by people in Chicago that absolutely despise you and you're still stuck in rural midwestern malaise. Unless you are tethered to a productive farm, there's really no reason for a normal, working white family to stay there. Just drive across the border to Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky or Tennessee and enjoy the same bleakness without the boot on your throat.
