LOL, California's economy is perfectly fine, as is Minnesota's, another high-tax state. Indeed, Minnesota under Mark Dayton's governorship has proven everything the Republicans claim about high-tax states to be completely wrong and bogus. You guys keep spewing nonsense that is simply factually wrong and has no basis in reality.

And American Progressivism has nothing to do with Chavez's pseudo-leftist populism, Chavez was just a typical populist strongman, a caudillo, who used the language of left-wing politics to get international support for his regime and justify the oil-funded largess he showered on his supporters.

Are you sure about that?  Seems Californians are fleeing to Texas and Minnesotans are fleeing to places like Florida and Georgia.  Neither state has fully recovered from the Great Depression and are unlikely to (mostly cause it is just now starting to end).  I don't buy the offical unemployment numbers either--the books are cooked.

I will say thought that the low tax Red states are recovering nicely.  Hell in a few decades Alabama might even be a semi-decent place to live provided you have air conditioning.

American Progressivism of the current age has nothing to do with American Progressivism either.  After all it isn't me or Milo or even Benny Shapiro calling for segregation.
