They don't want higher taxes to fund and finance programs from outside their states they would find detrimental. Ever notice that when people in office push through expensive legislation, the people who get stuck paying the bill are the people who were there first and never needed it in the first place?
What if you had a nice home, it was furnished the way you want, you had nice cars, a truck, and an RV that you worked for, and you had it the way you wanted it, you have good kids that are being educated on your nickel,you have competitive race cars and a few trophies to substantiate that, you always paid your own bills and you gave to those less fortunate who deserve it,(like our Veterans), and some liberal outsiders moved in to your town, city,county,state,whatever (like liberals),started making demands, started taking over, started basically telling you what to do in your own domain, imposed fees, taxes,fines,assessments, whatever and then started attacking your family and way of life, implying that you somehow shouldn't have any thing at all that they didn't give you, and basically put out the attitude that you somehow owe them a living and everything else as well.How long would you send for that? Why are we any different?
A good friend of mine who passed away several years ago had a shop nearby, and his most common rant was the city-state,county, whatever has gotten into the habit of stepping in and telling him and everybody else how to run their business, and imposing new fees fines,taxes, hiring quotas and mandates, and all else. This was about 10-12 years ago, and if he could see it now! He told me once that a revolution might be coming, he wouldn't probably live to see it, but that I probably would. I hope he was just over reacting, but you really wonder sometimes.
