Red states are far kinder to a middle class standard of living while blue states punish their middle class with high taxation.
They thereby become states with a wealthy elite supporting a huge welfare class while the mid to lower middle class gets squeezed out and flees.
Thank you for referencing that article headstamp 2. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the middle class that you mentioned and not at you.
My problem with the middle class and high taxation is this. The middle class must have the most voting power of all voters in a given state. So does higher taxes on the middle class mean that such voters are just sitting on their hands on election day instead of getting out and firing their state lawmakers? If such is the case then a blue state’s middle class deserves higher taxes imo.
What is feudalism?
