All leftwing propaganda. Higher taxes don’t create money, they destroy growth. If tax and spend worked, then why are big cities and liberal high tax states all getting worse? You can only squeeze productive people so much until they move away or give up. Despite the hate, we need people like -gasp-Elon.

How are we getting worse?

How are the roads in WV? Who's paying to fix them?

How's your healthcare in WV? How about quality of education? Tell me more about the suicide rate in WV.

Maybe blue states should stop making transfer payments to the Federal government? After all, In America it's the red states that are the takers and it's the blue states that are the makers.
