Finnally KY did not make a worst top ten list. Breaking down the states that had 40%+ population federal tax exempt Kentucky is not on the list.
Looks like we are paying our share
Funny is the states that are on the list. Most are Republican strongholds....Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansasa, S. Carolina, Utah, Florida, New Mexico, Idaho.

Thanks.
I really think Romney stepped in it with his comments. I mostly agree, but they way he worded it really, REALLY turned some folks off. I only hope it wasn't too many.
time will tell.

Give us time. We can do it. We just need to put our mind to it and we can hit that list in high fashion.

We are back on top this morning!!!!!
Bankrate.com reports that Kentucky has the third highest auto insurance rates in the country. I know we are not #1, but we are back in the top 10.

Not all that funny.
When I grew up most were Democrat strongholds. My family was mostly staunch Southern Democrats.
That party has swung so far to the left away from their beliefs, most of those states now go to Republicans.
Democrats pander to big inner cities and populous states. With the exception of Tx and Fl, they don't really care about the states you mention. California and New York are shining examples of Democrat strongholds. Both very liberal. Both with severe budget problems and sky high taxes. Both have a lot of electoral votes.

Funny that the examples of New York and California are not on the list. California's state GDP exceeds many developed countries and New York has been the financial capitol of the world for the past 100+ years. California has had a Republican Governer for the past 12 years or so, so I don't think the Cailfornia debt can be hung on Democrats there. Same for New York.
Alabama and Mississippi are good examples of corporate pandering. Filled with refineries and oil production yet on the bottom of the list for wages.
I just think that there has to be middle ground. I don't want KY to be on those lists. Time to buckle up and pay this nationl debt off and this will require everyone paying their fair share.
A lot of manufactoring is going to and has returned to the US because they have found that there is no reliable infastructure in these offshore sites, the political proceesses overseas can be so corrupt they cannot be relied on. They have found that even with a wage of 20¢ an hour does not make up for utility costs, shipping and other factors.
I just wish more people here would start supporting the USA.

With regards to California.......Have they ever had a republican lead majority in their house or senate.
I looked and it seems they are both SQUARELY Democrat. So, even with a republican governor, if you cannot control the house and senate you cannot control ANYTHING.
