When we moved to Arizona in 2005 my real estate taxes went from $16,800 to $1,410. Of course, the schools are shitty out here but hey, real estate taxes are low.
That is the shell game the GOP plays.
Some would argue in silicon valley that the low wage workers, shit, even teachers cant cut it. And they are right, and it is also a blue state. GOP would argue "see see see see!"
But when you strip the Red vs Blue crap out of it, and you focus on 3 decades of power control averages nationwide, and Reagan's failed "trickle down", it is clear that while blue states do better, it is still greed that either drives up the price everywhere, or greed that drives down wages everywhere.
