Let's Go Easy On The Little States

Why are some states perpetually taker states, and others year after year provider states? - Question from commenter mp at eschaton

Other states are filled with hill people and raccoons and possum. These states have socialized the productive states' assets. It's partly why The Colonies decided to Unionize.

Not everyone can be above average.
