Anyone want to guess at the common element?
Most are republican controlled "red" states. Coincidence?
I dont think so. Smart, educated, skilled people are leaving New England and CA to head to these areas. These areas will make more $, have more $ to invest locally, improving schools, creating well rounded educated kids. Its a culture of success.
Whereas dem controlled areas rely on govt support and systematically hold people down with high taxes and limited growth.
