The top ten states for job growth.
The top ten states for job growth.
There isn’t a clear common political thread here, but it is worth noting that all of the top five and seven of the ten have all-Republican governments.
It isn’t the party that matters, it is the philosophy of the members of that party that matters. And you are more likely to find politicians who support freedom, competition, and capitalism in the Republican Party.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

In Oregon, the area around Portland is always much better than the rest of the state, known as “rural Oregon”. It’s much harder to find a job outside the Willamette valley, and many of us would like to form a different state so we aren’t controlled by the liberals in the valley. Also, we enjoy not having a sales tax, but watch out, ’cause the democrat gov’ner wants to add a sales tax, just like the 10 or so times the democrats have tried it. We always seem to vote it down, though, so don’t count us out yet!
I agree, but I think the difference is simply whether the politician thinks *any* intervention in the economy is useful. There’s plenty of politicians who “support capitalism” by trying to pass legislation which they think is “pro-business”. Unless this is some form of nullification, it’s almost always more damaging to the economy than just not interfering.
I was transferred to Corvallis in ’01, and didn’t want to go because of the Oregon income tax. I much preferred to pay a sales tax in Washington, because I was only taxed on goods bought; not on every dollar of income. I’ve lived in states that taxed both income and sales, as well as an ‘intangibles tax’. There’s going to come a time when enough people from high tax states will move to Oregon and the votes will be there for a sales tax. They ruined their states; now they want to ruin ours.
