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.


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

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.

I didn't know how bad home Construction is. One small business went out
that was building construction materials. However Lowes and Home Depot
are still around.
Another that excavated rock for building in other parts of the Country
shut down.
I hadn't really taken note until today that all the Craftsmen and
Tradesmen don't seem to be around the area. I don't know but they
probably went to where there was some construction.
Supplier Side Economics/Government is all about the wealth of
those that seized American Industry and is shipping away production and
cutting wages and importing near slave laborers while raising their
compensation by leaps and bounds.
Public Traded Corporations are really controlled for the fortunes of the
few running them.
Globalism is Feudalism. They already have the third world in their grip.
They cam for America's wealth and figure they still have a good run to
go here where there are resources to be exported and a talented people
that can be forced to work for slave labor wages to survive.
America is becoming a colony to Globalism that is not a Country but a
control mechanism for the power and wealth of the Global/Foreign
Merchant and Banker. If their first allegiance is to Globalism then they
have no allegiance to America.
They have a variety of terms they sling, as a force to silence,
Americans such as Isolationist. They are making decisions in Washington
for what is good for Globalism not Americans. That is their mantra they
believe that for the good of the Global Economy will cower and shut
Americans up Some how globalism will benefit us when our economy and
life style reach parity with the lowest common denominator of the third
world.
We do not desire to have our life style and economy reduced to the
lowest common denominator.

LMAO!! You constantly whine about not having any money, and having
been screwed. So where does that leave you?
buffy = not too smart

Yup, and Red states suck more than they produce.

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


Humor aside, I think it's big of me and all liberals. I'm completely
aware of the fact that Red states suck resources from blue states but
I accept that as a cost of citizenship in the USA.

If it were the other way around, the Red states would be having a
livid conniption with panties in full bunch mode. They **** and whine
about their lot now, even tho' they'd be bankrupt without our largess.

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


Sheesh, thought they had all those folks in Red states too.

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.


I hate all the Chinese crap they sell. I look for alternatives
whenever possible. It's getting harder every day.
