Reliably red? Florida went to Obama the last two elections.

Sounds like Blasio needs to erect a Berlin wall around NYC to keep those greedy rich guys from taking ‘the peoples $$$’ out of the city.

The problem with killing "the rich" and taking their stuff is you can only do it once.

Isn’t it ironic how the Moochers and the Takers and their pimps attack the wealth creators, the builders and the makers but ignore the wealthy celebrity liberals in the sports and entertainment world, the dot.com billionaires and the wealthy liberals with inherited fortunes?

Money is not the root of all evil. ENVY of other people’s money is the root of all evil.

When the rich leave and take their money with them, who will be paying for all those “takers” left behind? Wanna guess who that will be?

Dumbass NYT, if you are going to quote scripture, at least do it correctly...

Amazing.

Did they say they were quoting scripture?

NY and Kaliforny both can fail and default because I no longer care what happens to them. I care about the Conservatives there but they can always move to a Conservative state.

Only 23% of those that could vote... did vote.

Right out of the gate...."Money — it’s the root of all evil" they get something very wrong.

Looks like Texas has a multi front invasion on its hands. Question is what are you going to do about it? Mexicans make good roofers and landscapers but rich folks will do little to benefit the state and the Calicommies will do nothing but harm the rights of resident Texans. Maybe a civics test like the immigrants had to take would be the answer. Doubt they could pass it. Course during the dust bowl years a lot of people were turned away from the borders of various states. Maybe time for history to repeat.

This would be nice if it were actually happening. Where’s the proof?

Oh, my bad. I meant in terms of long-term trends. Florida went Red from 1980 to 2004, with the exception of 1996. You are correct, of course, that Obama took it both in 2008 and 2012. I see that as a sign of shifting demographics rather than a fluke (as much as I wish it was).

Thing is, that there are less places to run to; it’s not just the economy or grubbing government, there is a hostile population that is looking at people like them who are certainly viewing them as hypocrites who like a free ride, while demanding that other people pay their way while they leech.

The rich can be leeches mainly since after all, they want more breaks while the hardworking are kept in their place, be it middle class, working class, or any other class.
