The only problem with your characterization is a lefty is more likely
to be rich. The blue counties are certainly richer than the red ones.

That's right. The general population of blue states are better off than
those in the red states. This, I suppose, is a bad thing... that under
Democrat leadership, people tend to prosper.


Lawyers, doctors, insurance companies and government workers do a
whole lot better.


I guess you think that the entirety of California is made up of those
people? You need to get out more.

Yup, and Red states suck more than they produce.

Interesting take from a self professed liberal. I thought you folks
were for income redistribution. ;-)

You don't want to be rich? Ok.

ROFLMAO!! that's because liberals are smarter than conservatives!

If you are so smart, why haven't you had a raise in 37 years?


Duhh... he's rich. He's a liberal and lives in a red state! lol

One small business went out

They sell Chinese products on the cheap. They are still pretty slow.
You certainly have no problem finding a parking space. Finding someone
who knows anything in the store is tough tho. They are running pretty
lean.
Their business model is "this is a do it yourself store", If you want
to find something, do it yourself. If you want it tied on your car, do
it yourself. Most HD/Lowes these days even want you to check your
stuff out yourself.

HD/Lowes have excellent customer service. They explain things and help you
pick out the right items. They definitely help you load your car/truck. They
even deliver for a small charge, depending on the item, and they price
match. Not bad.

You are right. Lawyers are a virus that has infected every nook and
cranny of the country sucking our blood like bedbugs.
I still bet big city lawyers make more than the ambulance chasers we
have here, simply because they have deeper pockets to pick.
A Lawyer in a small Town decided he wanted the local boat launch and
recreation of a neighborhood. Everyone, in the county, used it .
There were no public hearings no notification to the residents..nothing.
One day he told one Resident that he couldn't come back there again. he
fenced it off. He sold the tractor and mower etc that the neighbors had
kept there, to maintain it and sold them. Some of The Residents sought
the services of another Attorney. No one would take it saying there was
nothing they could do. In short it seems that they wouldn't do anything
to one of their small cliche.
Another Attorney got his car washed regularly at a local car wash, in a
southern city. The car wash offered a free rewash of any vehicle, if it
rained within it 24 hours. The Attorney started getting his car washed
and parking it in the garage and taking his wife's car to have it washed
.. The Owner caught on and said he couldn't do that. The lawyer said
what's the difference.
So the Owner quit giving coupons for the free re wash.
Another Resident of a small town wanted the local boat launch and dock
etc of another neighborhood. He wasn't a Lawyer but was in tight with
the small cliche. No hearing no nothing He paid some taxes and took
possession. he probably doesn't wonder why no one speaks to him. Trying
to get an Attorney to rectify the situation was again fruitless.
Two of the incidents were over five years ago. The other not so long ago.
I know or knew many fine Attorneys etc but some of the new breed get
into the profession purely to feather their pockets any way they can.

So, he's rich and lives in a blue state. I guess that means he's smarter or
luckier than some people.

Yeah I agree but nobody likes a crying winner.
Bob is always whining about how the world has screwed him.

i guess the right wing thinks they've succeeded to the point that i,
personally, am the entire middle class

because i said it's the middle class that got screwed. the right
congratulates itself on the destruction of the middle class
