Democratic-run States Are A Total Disaster, Have The Worst Economies

Matt Vespa:

The American Legislative Exchange Council released their “Rich States, Poor States” report last week and shocker—mostly Democratic-run states are a disaster concerning economic performance and competitiveness. ALEC included the top and bottom ten states in the press release announcing the 10th edition of the report. NTK Network broke down who controls what in the respective state legislatures of these low performing states as well.


 

#41: Oregon (Dems control the legislature and governor’s office)#42: Maine (Dems split control of the legislature with Republicans)

#43: Hawaii (Dems control the legislature and governor’s office)

#44: Illinois (Dems control the legislature)

#45: Minnesota (Dems control the governor’s office)

#46: Connecticut (Dems control the legislature and governor’s office)

#47: California (Dems control the legislature and governor’s office)

#48: New Jersey (Dems control the legislature)

#49: Vermont (Dems control the legislature)

#50: New York (Dems control the legislature and governor’s office)

You can peruse all the data on income tax, property tax burdens, sales taxes, death taxes, the minimum wage, how many public employees there are per 10,000 in state population, whether it’s a right to work state, and much more. You can also compare states within these criteria as well.

Some states, like New Jersey and Illinois, are not shockers. While they have Republican governors, Democrats dominate the legislatures. In New Jersey, Christie touted pension reform, though the Garden State has a long way to go, with ALEC noting that it’s actually underfunded by $235 billion. On taxes, the organization pretty much took Christie to the woodshed:

I live in California and Moonbeam Brown is a total idiot him and the Dumb-O-Crats they all need to go live in some nation far far away

So says the special interest-funded American Legislative Exchange Council.

Compare and contrast with the 2016 list compiled by WalletHub, a consumer-oriented financial information website.

Draw your own conclusions—or let someone else with ulterior motives do it for you.

@Greg: Quite right, Greg.
Give one a choice between New York, New Jersey, Maryland, California, or Oklahoma or Kansas. most people will not pick Oklahoma or Kansas.
Just look up the population data to see how people have voted with their feet.

Liberal areas crave cheap labor, thus they are also sanctuaries for illegal immigrants. They tout their humanitarianism but it is more about exploitation.

Couple that with an addiction to taxpayer funds and they have serious problems when someone dedicated to enforcing the law and respect for American citizens takes office.

I tried to look for an alternative, so I put in Best run democratic states, the results were not really surprising

Democrats have a disconnect to facts and reality but highly attracted to repeating failed policies.
The same Democrats that voted for a wall now want to shut down the government over the funds to build it. http://dailycaller.com/2016/11/15/flashback-that-time-all-of-americas-top-dems-voted-to-fund-bushs-border-wall/

@Bill: nice try Bill. But it is the states that voted for Hillary that send more money to the Feds that they receive. The taker states voted for Trump.

Same for kitt.

@kitt: sorry kitt. It is Trump who threatens to shutdown the government if he doesn’t get his wall funded (by Americans).

Except that now he has given up.

ALEC keeps recycling variations on this republican propaganda meme year after year. This was the pitch 2 years ago, in 2015: The Most Prosperous States for the Last 10 Years – They All Have One Very Important Thing in Common.

I live in Indiana. Have you visited any typical cities or towns scattered across Indiana’s rust belt recently? If conditions there reflect the situation high up in the Top 10 List for prosperity, I’d hate to see what the rest of the country looks like.

Come check it out for yourself. Hopefully your car won’t disappear into a pothole as you’re driving through. That situation has finally gotten so bad that Indiana republicans are slapping a new 10-cents-per-gallon state tax on gasoline. They’re also slapping a special $150 annual tax on electric cars, because they don’t use gasoline. That works out being equivalent to a standard car using 1,500 gallons of gasoline over the course of a single year. Hey, electric cars are the Devil’s handiwork! They don’t belong in God-fearing, prosperous republican states. Maybe a special tax should be imposed on energy efficient light bulbs.

Note where Indiana falls on this 2015 list. It’s 33rd down from the richest, most prosperous state:
