p.s.s. - There is a way that Alabama can be held as an example. We used to have more jobs here... for instance, sewing jobs... jobs that were taken overseas to sweat factories. That icky woman holds us up as example over tax-policy but she is missing the point, imo. Our govs over the years have done all they could to bring some jobs, and foreign car company jobs are daym decent for these parts, down here. And they paid thru the nose for them. And they took on themselves to help train some dumb-ass southerners well enough to be able to do them.

Is the problem the educational system? Corruption? I've never quite understood why the South, with the notable exceptions of TX, FLA and NC, stays so poor.
