Ah, the wonderful world of unions...

Neal Boortz (SOURCE) quotes a study by Forbes.com:

Forbes.com has developed some information that you might find interesting. First of all, here's a list of the five states that are in the worst financial shape:

Illinois

New York,

Connecticut

California

New Jersey

... and the list of the five states in the best condition financially:

Utah

Nebraska

Texas

New Hampshire

Virginia

The five states in the worst financial condition are solidly Democrat. Of the three states in the best financial condition, three are solidly Republican; Utah, Nebraska and Texas. The other two lean very slightly Democrat.

The question, then, is why do heavily Democrat states seem to be in the poorest financial condition? According to Forbes, the problems in these Democrat-controlled states revolve around two facts ... stronger unions and more moochers.

Those are also states with the largest cities, and of course the urban problems. More people=more problems, and more need for government, and then the government's problems.
There is no system that is "just right" while the other is "just wrong". All are fallen, and subject to different factors and variables.
