NY is like some other states where a large part of the state is conservtive (not the George Will brand of ‘conservative’), but the big cities smother them with their Marxist ways.

Those who want to live and let live are out-voted and out-spent every time. NYS has NYC, Buffalo, Albany, Syracuse, and the Ithaca region to overwhelm the rest with liberal busybodies.

I take it New Yorkers must like that. They keep voting in the people who make it happen.

I use to live in New York city when Despot Mike Bloomberg was ruling it. I called it “North Korea but with food” because thats exactly what it was like. Everything revolved around The Dear Leader Bloomberg.Every aspect of your life was regulated and all the parades, events revolved around The Dear Leader, and that guy had the gall to crticize Trump.

The people there seem to like it based on their voting patterns.

Massachusetts is NY lite, and New Hampshire is Massachusetts lite. Not as bad as some other New England states, but *the* more free in the country? I highly doubt it.

Including the ones who leave and go to more free states, and then vote for politicians that institute similar least-free policies, thus ruining those states.

Nothing happens in New York State without several lawsuits, a government study, lots of subsidies, and union action.

Then needed a study to find this out about a state which elects Fascists to their large cities?

The ONLY reason why New York state is still viable can be explained in two words: Wall Street.

If we have another stock market crash, New York state would rapidly collapse economically with disastrous results.

Well, waiting for the liberal media to conduct such a study would have been like waiting for the sun to rise in the west.

The further away from Freedom you get, the closer you are to Slavery.

Funny how all the big liberal states have the highest municipal bankruptcy rates, highest tax rates,MIT regulation, the least jobs, the least friendly people, and are having to leave their states just to survive. Coincidence? I think not. People are miserable there because of bad leadership or none at all. The problem is they are bringing their bad attitudes, habits and problems to our states.
