Rules for running your state into the ground, and creating a kind of Detroit lite.
"It's not just Texas eating the economic lunch of basket-case states such as California and New York. Kansas City saw about 9,500 new jobs created between May 2012 and May 2013 — every one of them on the Kansas side of the border, where residents and businesses enjoy a significant tax advantage thanks in part to the leadership of Governor Sam Brownback and Kansas conservatives. Johnson County, Kan., gained nearly $800 million in adjusted gross income between 1992 and 2010, and the biggest chunk of it came from Jackson County, Mo., which is down some $1.78 billion in AGI over the same period."

It's the curse of Democracy. The founders gave us a republic, noting that history taught that every democracy ever known had eventually self destructed once the people, as they have in California, realized that they could vote for the transfer of wealth to their own pocket. Soon after that, the democracies always collapsed, as California is doing now.
ReplyDeleteWe had a republic, and that was hard enough to keep, but with the liberalization of voting laws, allowing anyone to have a say in what the government does, the state is on it's way to destruction, as foreseen by the founders in 1776.
The only question now is what comes afterwards.
I have no idea. I hope that we can keep the Republic. Hope.
