That’s why blue states are seeing their population numbers increase and housing is getting tougher to find.

lol you don’t know jack shit about me and my net worth or my donation habits
I know we are not in the same bracket. Not even close. Not in income or wealth. If you have to work to make a living then we are not in the same boat.

lol why do you feel the need to flex your wealth like that’s going to change my mind somehow? You still don’t know anything about me.
And wow congratulations, you found 2 blue states that have seen a little decline in recent years but fail to recognize the trend over the past decade of those places, and also fail to see how the small decline in population of two blue states doesn’t refute my statement.
Go to Florida if you hate it there so much.

I am not flexing at all. It is what it is. You haven’t touched a nerve at all. Low-income people don’t grasp how much we pay in taxes since they don’t pay anything close to what we pay in taxes. It’s why they repeat buzzwords like tax the rich or the rich don’t pay their fair share when we do.
It refutes your statement because you didn’t cite anything and just babbled. You are free to post a counter cite.
Also your claim about private prisons was wrong as well. About 8% of the prison population is in a private prison.
So far everything you have said is wrong.

I don’t need to post a counter cite a 0.6% is nothing.
Omg it must be so hard to have money. You should just give it away if you’re sick of paying all those taxes.
Hahaha I know the 8% figure you’re talking about and it’s not that. The people who have been put into for-prisons in the past 2 years make up 8% of the imprisoned population, or about 13.5x the rate of people who left Oregon.
Don’t be so quick to call others wrong when you are too hahahah.
