Kevin, at what point do you say 'enough is enough'?
Oh, I agree. I'd say one would have to be mother bleeping crazy to live in states where their total tax burden approaches 55% ,but that's just little old me.

As to beliefs, don't like them get together and vote your folks in and theirs out.

I live in FLA where we're all in a crazy mixed up salad. Hey, it's lively. Obama carried the state, but our Legislature is Republican and so is the Governor. I actually don't mind that there's such a blend of ideas. Somehow stuff gets done and we still can't stop you folks from moving here so it can't be all bad.
Dammit.

A blend is healthy. What I could never do is live in a state where everything was the very opposite of my values. And I would have a very hard time in a state that was apparently obsessed with my sex and ruling over me with an iron fist.

The problem is, it swings around back and forth in most states. Michigan goes Democrat in federal elections because the majority of the population is one area, which is Democratic. Our Congress and, right now, our Governor, are Republican because of the out state folks. Together, they are wreaking havoc. He will likely be a one term Governor so it isn't worth moving...
