    Great video which exposes how blue states are the worst when it comes to implementing progressive values. It shows how California works against affordale housing, Washington state implements a regressive tax policy and Chicago promotes disparity in education.

    Enjoy

    I don't see a link to the video, but I live in Los Angeles and see it live everyday!

    Eh, I live in WA. What you're calling 'regressive tax' is just people who make more money keeping more money. Im not opposed to that (Im lower-middle class FTR), and its the best case in bad scenario when the tax code is written to allow the elites effective exemption, as it is written both federally and across all 50 states.

    West of the cascades (the big cities along the coast) are indeed terrible places to live due to progressivism, but very little of that makes it out into the vast red areas the make up the bulk of the state.

    I lived in Seattle for three years - it was still liveable (2007), and man did I love the automatic 13% pay raise I enjoyed by leaving Cultifornia! Best of both worlds: I would save major purchases for my montly trip to Portland. A TV, a new set of golf clubs, a mountain bike - all bought in sales-tax-free Oregon!

    I guess there is some form you're supposed to fill out so you can send the sales tax you saved to Olympia. :roflol:

    By the way, I love those Eastern WA sheriffs who have told Jay Dimslee and Turd Ferguson to pound sand wrt their Draconian anti-2A pablum.

    Too bad that blue counties have 70% of the population and provide over 70% of our national GDP.

    Is this another one of your random assertations devoid of any factual citations?

    And and yet it is still common to find tent cities of homeless people with feces all over the sidewalk and drug paraphernalia in random places

    Great, I'll take the orange groves and cattle pastures and chickens running loose within the city limits and being able to Drive 3 miles without it taking 45 minutes.

    The author originally started out to disprove the claim and when confronted with real data he actually printed the truth :) The left in this country haven't a clue what's really going on because they refuse to look any further then the lies told to them by MSNBCNN..

    Bidenflation is attacking commuters. Also real Americans who work in CA cities have, until recently, been able to escape socialist policies by living inland and with a serious commute. More recently, it's become clear that, in CA, there's no escaping unwanted restrictions in their freedom, so they are moving to other states where city life is tolerable.

    Here's a visual

    Except they don't "provide 70% of our national GDP". They are just points of accounting for activity that happens nationally and even globally. If someone from Texas orders something off Amazon that ships from Tennessee and was imported from China, Seattle just happens to be where the sales and profits are booked.

    Published by the NY Times.

    Do you think the Democratic Party is above criticism? The video show that they don't live up to their promises. Do you believe they do?

    But it's much more likely that order from Tennessee is going to come from Nashville or Memphis than Townsend or Bell Buckle.
