Actually states like MS and SC DO attract industry and the south doesn't necessarily match your biased stereotypes.

I said attract creative, educated people, not industry. Places like SC and MS 'buy' new industry to their state......like SC just did with Boeing. Those states don't create their own industries like MN, WA State, OR, CA, NC etc do. And that's because they don't have a cohort of well educated people who are constantly creating.

Some places do attract creative liberal minded people and over time those liberal minded people put in places policies and programs that eventually damage the economy ... its happened in NY and CA. Then they elect Republicans who have to try to clean up the mess.

Your cautionary tale doesn't hunt. The stories for CA and NY are not similar at all. In fact, they are nearly opposite. NY is fairly corrupt and totally dependent on the prosperity of NYC. CA had its revenues hamstrung by greedy Rs back in the 1970s. Neither state is turning to Rs for a solution..........on the contrary, Rs are the smallest of minority parties in those states.
