Looks like the Old South is Still d**gging the line !!!!!!
And they are still willing to d**g the whole country down to their level instead of getting on the right bus.
The bottom part of that list costs this country huge amounts of money. For which we get very little back.
The old south is like the ghetto of America!!!
The Oligarian South still run by rich families instead of The Peoples Government .!!
Democracy was kicked out of the South
In about 1840 .
But, what’s a poor mother to do ?

California's position refutes your nonsense.

If the numbers provided are credible….

There is less than a six percent swing from high to low.

Does trashing southerners make you feel better about your elitist self?

Milosia2 Loc: Cleveland Ohio

California has a border with Mexico.

Somalia never made the list .
Maybe we should pick a different country to model the US after.
Hungary comes to mind .

Always thought us New Hampshirites we're pretty savvy😌 I notice Hawaii hovers near the bottom. Isn't that where Mazie Hirono is from?
