Let's just give the state back to Mexico since a lot of the La Raza/Atzlan type activists insist that the USA stole what rightfully belonged to Mexico.

Midwestern red states are highly dependent of the farming subsidies that the government gives them.
Or you think that they buy those huge F-250 just by selling hay and corn?

Well to all the brain storms out there who say "Out of staters".....hmm I lived in California in the late 70's and early 80's so yes I do know all about Cali.
And besides you fools...what does someone from out of state not understand about the mess that California has gotten itself into. You fools have run out all the businesses and kept the illegals..real smart.
Oh and by the way I lived in San Diego !

So, how's it hangin' in NY? Let's see now, I think that you have a bit of a tax, finance and budget issue too:

Trying to close a $15.4 billion budget gap, Paterson called for 88 new fees and a host of other taxes, including an "iPod tax" that taxes the sale of downloaded music and other "digitally delivered entertainment services."

"We're going to have to take some extreme measures," Paterson said Tuesday after unveiling the slash-and-burn budget.

Regarding your comment that you lived in California 30 years ago, I lived in Kansas City at that time, but wouldn't profess to be an expert on the economy in Missouri...
