When we get some oil flowing again in this state, we'll take #1

The two most liberal states have the highest taxes, Go figure...

I wonder how low state taxes correlates to being a moocher red state that takes more than it gives. Alaska anyone?

The important correlation to me is the one cited in the study. My kids have a better chance of success here. I'd move back to California if that's where my family could thrive.

HMMM many of the red states with low taxes get much money back from the Federal Government...Alaska is a prime example


all the bagger states hate Uncle Sugar but are sucking on the teat...

If I were you, I'd get my kids OUT of Alaska. It's also neck-n-neck with another red state, Wyoming, as the nations leader in SAD cases and suicide rate;
