rogerd, I did not say that the South gets fiscally raped, I said that Southerners got the raping. They do. Alot of textile and other manufacturing jobs lost, lowest wages in the nation becuase the unions have pretty much been shut out and all states are "employment at will" states, high poverty/low literacy...... Just distract the people by talking about prayer in school, the 10 commandments in the courthouse, or the Second Amendment and they are easily distracted from the reaming they are receiving. Most Southerners were Democrats at one time, but now they are Republican dittoheads.
