Texas is a “Right-to-Work” state without the burden of compulsory union membership.

The fricken liberals will never get the message that free markets is the answer.

No matter how the Ohioans slice it, Youngstown is never again going to be a steel making powerhouse. The economic problems there are caused by political rot. If Ohio simply, through a no-tax policy on business, opened the doors to the world, their big problem will be how to house all the workers who flock there for jobs.

Youngstown is a pit. The city tax alone is killing me. The weather here is pretty lousy, and overall there just isn’t much going for it. I’m getting ready to blow this joint in the upcoming months, hopefully to greener, warmer, more fruitful pastures.

It’s clear to me that the idiots who keep electing democrats deserve all their suffering and then some. After decades of decline and electing union suckups, it would seem that somebody would have the grain of smarts it takes to connect their economic struggles with the unions putting companies out of business, and democrat governments taxing them out of business. Too bad, idiots.

Geezer,
The problem is that in matters of economic policy as in foreign affairs, it is all of us who suffer the consequences, not just those stupid enough to continue electing Democrats.

I am no fan of Liberals, but lets call a spade a spade. Ohio had Republican leadership in Gov Bob Taft and a super majoritry in both state houses for years while it was laying out the red carpet for companies to leave. This can be laid at thier feet much more that a Gov with 25% of his term served.

Being Republican, Scott, does not necessarily inoculate one from also being a liberal.
