Home state what's up Terwonick. Only been to California for 1 week ten years ago, but I remember it being warm at least. I'm down near Mexicantown in Detroit, and I'll tell you it's rough. But the people are still stickin it out.
Most of what Terwonick is saying is pretty acceptable in Michigan. We're real independent, and there's alot of libertarians. Our Senator Carl Levin was one of the bastards that proposed the NDAA with John McCain. Our last governor was a carpetbagger and we had Romney's dad in the 80s. Long story short, I think it's time to take self government more seriously too. The current system is too corrupt to even work with anymore. If we rout em out we can get back to debating American style. Right now the corruption is too deep to get anything done.
I live 10 minutes outside of Midland, and like he said my views aren't truly that out there for Michigan. We're the lowest economic state out there, and if I live in the "Dow Bubble" and say this, it has to be like 2x worse for everybody else. If there's a revolution it's like a 95% chance that it will happen in Michigan. Honestly here we don't want socialism, we realize that untouched capitalism worked perfectly for about 130 years. The only reason it stopped working so well is that we started getting laws interfering with businesses and the government started controlling us. Honestly I'm tired of you guys telling me that because I don't "earn money" i'm not allowed to gripe about taxes. my paycheck this summer was just under $100, with NO taxes, it would have been about $10 higher! That's money I could have used and put back into the economy, creating jobs and helping pay others.
