"If You Live in a Democrat-Run State"

13 Maps That Show If You Live in a Democrat-Run State, Chances are You Want to Move (Repost)

This article is reposted not to show how bad Democrats are or how great Republicans are. It does outline the basic old school conservative principles of limited government intrusion on business, limiting taxes, and smaller goverment makes for a better state. Vermont is a great example of how NY/NJ/MA/CA style Democrats can literally destroy a state. It was always conservative, but NEVER current national Republican party extremist. Town meeting decided everything, there was freedom and democracy, yet there was old school conservative limited government and no intrusion. Now the ultra left from NY/NJ/MA/CA have taken over and the cost of living is through the roof. Businesses are moving out and so are the native Vermonter's who made the state great. The point is don't follow national Republican party extremism, but Ultra Left Wing Liberal politics (think Schumer/Bloomberg/Feinstein) is just as bad or WORSE! You can also look at the Republican extremist states of MS, LA, AL and see everyone lives in poverty with extreme Republicans saying no more handouts. Well if the Republican controlled big evil corporations didn't outsource all the jobs to China there would be more people working and less handouts! It's a 2 way street!

Who doesn’t love Democrat-run states? Well, a lot of people, according to a number of maps.
1. Red States, Blue States




Red states have Republican Governors & state legislatures, Blue States have Democratic Governors & state legislatures. The lighter shade colors mean it’s split. Alright, ready to go?

2. Anybody Want to Move?


See any connection? If not, I’ll make it easy: If you really want to move, you’re more likely to be in a Blue State.

3. Whose State is the Best?


Even people from supposedly “important” states like New York and California don’t feel as good about their state as people from Montana, Utah or Texas.

4. Where is the Cost of Living Highest?



The answer is pretty obvious: Blue States.

5. Where are the Income Taxes Highest?



No-brainer

6. Where are the Property Taxes Highest?


Surprised, anyone?

7. Where has the Economic Recovery Been Last Few Years?


Look closely.

8. Where is Unemployment Lowest?

Red states – and it’s not an illusion of the chart.

9. Better Business Tax Climate?



If you want to work without being penalized, guess where you want to move?

10. Where Would You Want to Pursue the American Dream?

If you want to be a small business owner, good luck if you’re in a Blue state.

11. Blue States Tend to Be More Unequal, Too

While Texas and a few other red states experience inequality, the best ones are almost all Red States. The biggest Blue States, California and New York, are both ultra-liberal and terrible about income inequality. Data show that income equality correlates well with economic freedom.

12. Check Out New York and California.

13. Both Red States and Blue States are Memorable



There are also good things about Blue States – many of them are beautiful and quite “memorable.”
But let’s get real: Democrats are great at calling out people for every imagined form of bigotry, not so great at pushing policies that actually help the economy and promote happiness.
The point isn’t to “hate” on Blue States – it’s that everybody should have a chance to live the American Dream. When it comes to promoting freedom, the Republican Party has a lot of work to do. But odds are that it’s a lot harder to be happy if your life is being controlled by somebody else.
