whelen35 User ID: 1996085 United States 03/16/2013 09:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | North Dakota! We rock, our education system is very good, crime rates are low, we produce things like food, energy, manufacturing, and we are a red state. Look at the population base and what percentage of people are involved in ag. Yes farm payments are high, but so is the percentage of population. Look at where the lmoney for the farm program actually goes. WIC, welfare, school lunch programs, ect less than 20% of the farm program moneys end up going to the actual producers of farm goods. There are several farm products where ND is the largest producer. Canola, sugar, confection sunflowers, top 4th or 5th honey, whea, duram wheat used for pasta, barley, potato's used for chips. Coal powered electric, gas and oil. Plus within 40 minuts of where I live there are 6 4-year colleges, a law school, medical, most likely if you have flown in a comercial flight, someone in the cockpit had their training in Grand Forks, ND t3 of the colleges have master programs and phd programs. MN may be a blue state, but you take the Twin citys out of the picture, you have a red state with very little crime. |

This means shit. Just because the pay is high doesn't mean the prices for everything are low. A fag living in san francisco making 120 grand a year is living like a gas station attendant in a red state. A 1000 square foot apt in SF is 3800 per month. There are no facts behind your claim. You're just stirring shit up. Homophobic too. I cited lots of facts. You spouted crap. 120K a year is fine in SF especially if you have a partner. What nirvana do you live in? |

If everyone in the blue states are on the dole, like many of you claim, why is it that they are more educated, fit, wealthy, etc. I think everything is a balance. I agree with many of you about 2nd amendment - don't take the guns, even though I have none. I support your rights 100%. I believe federal gov is way too big in a lot of areas - including defense. Let's stop with the global hegemony crap. If we stopped squashing alternative energies, we would be utterly prosperous. I think most of you are responding to corporate propaganda. They are using you for their ends. I can and will expound on this as necessary. Many good points, I agree the defense department is waaaay too big and should be trimmed. |

I know that the vast majority of you out there who are not shills have good hearts. You love your families. You work hard - try to play by the rules. But you are upset at the state of things. You are upset that your ideals seem almost to go unrewarded in this society. You see bankers committing massive fraud and getting lavish bailouts at the threat of financial ruin. You see the forces moving into place to squelch the freedom you do have. I have been all throughout this country, and there are stout folk in the red states. People that would do anything to help a friend or neighbor. I just believe that you are pointing the blame in the wrong places and it frustrates me. Please accept my apologies. |
