New York State - The Vampire State

-
7/7/2006
For those considering a move to the once great state of New York - don't do it! The politicians are some of the worst on the American political landscape, unless, of course, you enjoy socialism. Taxpayers in this state are treated like little ATM machines that can be tapped at will by the politburo in Albany. New York has been in decline for decades, with the decline almost surely continuing unabated in the years to come. It is too bad, as there is some great, physical beauty in this state. But the ugliness of the political system far outweighs the beautiful scenery. And besides, New York does not have the market cornered on nature's wonders. There are plenty of states which have natural beauty that matches or surpasses that of New York, but lack the heinous political class that sucks the life out of the state.
I repeat - stay away.
