The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Same with "luxury" of generous government social spending supported by high state and local taxes.

Umm no. It's not a country club deduction is it. There is no voluntary component. Nor is it a direct service to me.
It is confiscation by blue state governments. And the motherloving RepUGLYcans are telling me it's a sin to live in a blue state. By not living in a bankrupt (fiscally and ideologically) red state I am a lesser human being who does not deserve any justice.

It's very very hard to see how this is not a discriminatory tax on blue state citizens of the US of A. Very sure it's petty revenge by repUGLYcans on people from states they hate.

Nuke Kansas.
