In terms of power there are really only three states-- New York, California, and Texas, although Massachusetts, Florida, and arguably Alaska form a solid secondary block. Every single other state orbits those states regardless of how powerful they might be on their own. Washington D.C. doesn't really count because it's only a district.

You have to move Alaska down a bit further because they were stupid enough to elect Palin as Governor. I'm Alaskan but I'm not taking any credit for that. Sweaty IT Nerd fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Mar 31, 2015 |

Michigan seems to orbit Canada, Mexico, and China more than it does it's neighboring states, at least in the lower Peninsula. The U.P. and it's people should be ceded back to Wisconsin now that we've mined all the copper, though.

Top Hats Monthly posted:1. Minnesota Just want to be clear, this is states themselves, and not sports, even though the idea came from ESPN, right? Because its been a loving long and painful time since 1991 and you know the Twins are going to squander this farm system. If it's just states, you have to drop Minnesota 10 spots because the Mexican food is awful.

The only people who think there is lovely Mexican food in MN are suburban people who are afraid to drive into Minneapolis.

The only people who think there is lovely Mexican food in MN are suburban people who are afraid to drive into Minneapolis. This just goes to prove my point. Why can't you get good Mexican food in the suburbs? This is not a problem in all states. Is your metro area so undesirable that you haven't managed to force minorities out to the inner-ring suburbs via gentrification and increased cost of living?

It's not like suburban people want Mexican food anyway. It isn't from Outback Steakhouse or Applebees so who cares.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_taxation_and_spending_by_state It's astonishing how badly the south drags our country down in every single way possible quote:Several commentators have pointed out that the states that benefit the most by federal spending are the very states whose populations tend to vote for leaders who promise to reduce federal spending, while those that benefit the least from large government vote for politicians who promise to make it even larger at their expense. In other words, Democratic-leaning states tend to be net contributors to the federal budget while Republican-leaning states are more often net recipients of federal spending. Various explanations for this seemingly contradictory situation exist
