I live in Alabama. Hey, Y’all! And I live in a small town, beautiful country. Fishing, hunting, boating, lakes and rivers all around. And the damn Yankees just keep moving here. Middle of nowhere and they’re buying all the property, closing it to the locals. It’s kinda funny. You’ll talk to them and they’ll say how this is a hell hole, New York, Michigan, Vermont, whatever, is so much better. Then go back, dammit!
The difference in a Yankee and a damn yankee is the damn yankee never goes back north.
I refuse to travel north of I-10, or south of Okeechobee.
I avoid the coastal areas now.
Yes, a whole lot of tax evaders (people who buy property here,just prior to declaring bankruptcy in their home states)and snowbird retirees (elderly people retired on “Union” pensions from other states, who came here to “retire”, while avoiding their home state taxes.
They all register to vote, and they overwhelmingly vote Democrat,since they have no real vested interest in our long term State interests.
No children to educate, and the ability to pay for gated communities.
They would also rather pay cash for an adult illegal alien staffed company to mow their lawn, than pay a local teenager the going wage.
Many get bored, or underestimated their incomes, so they take the part-time entry level jobs that traditionally went to local teenagers,college students or the permanently underskilled.
They should go back to wherever they came from.
They ruined their own home states during their productive years, and now attempt to ruin mine.
I escaped Yankee union state hellholes decades ago.
I refuse to accept that my daughter and her peers must have their future income forcibly confiscated to pay for elderly carpetbaggers elective hip replacements and viagra doses, by the same people who constantly attempt to deprive them of their opportunity to attempt to attain prosperity.
Screw the AARP and all Yankee labor Unions.
We always welcome temporary visitors, but if you want to live here full time, leave your failed liberal politics in your former failing states.
