An Important Question

States in America provide, on their own, about 50 billion dollars of tax incentives to various companies to lure them in and provide jobs. The financial sector, if you are not aware, recently received Billions upon Billions of dollars in order to stabilize our economy. The auto and airline industries have also received their share of help. Our farming industry cannot survive without steady government subsidies.

Sometimes parents need to be sat down and talked to. It is a very tough and painful thing to address, but somebody has to ask:

Is our economy a special-needs child?

And since we have plug-in economies, where working in one state is no different than working in another state, there's no problems in moving. If the economies were 'separate', moving your workplace from one state to another would be like moving your workplace from the USA to France or China and having to work under their codes.

There is no Californian economy, no Georgian economy, no Illinois economy. There is just the American economy.
