Regression to the Mean: I live across the street, in AL, from the crooked letter state and at least the roads on which I travel are much better in MS.

Regression to the Mean: I live across the street, in AL, from the crooked letter state and at least the roads on which I travel are much better in MS. We also have a terribly regressive taxation system that kills the will of the poor. They tax everything, even food. Anything you make over $3,000 in income is taxed at 5%. There are people here that pay little to nothing in Federal taxes but still pay 5% in State income taxes and a combined 10% in state and local sales taxes.
Then we are hit with "Property" taxes which go up with the whims of an inflated real estate market even though the residents have lived there for the entirety of their lives and have no intention of ever actually making money from the property. But they have to pay for their terrible schools which are avoided by anyone that loves their children. There is no tax break for avoiding the indoctrination. It only means we pay more for something we are already paying for.
I don't think this state actually ever really went Red. They aren't even Rino's really. More like Dixiecrats. Many of our past Governers are hanging out with the Chicago politicians in club Fed. Our current Governer, Mee Maw, is internationally famous for "blaming the unvaccinated folks" for killing people. But even with that she was "elected" again.
I'd like to go to MS because there are some really nice areas along the coast, but I don't trust something that takes 5-10 years to develop. So maybe I'm Florida bound.

And I thought we had it bad here in Michigan! Hope you are successful in getting out from under the heavy tax burden!
