although I have only been here 4 years, I see the same things. I was also stunned to find out so many large corps are here. They pay no tax, citizens pay tax on food and wages are so low that children go to bed hungry at night. I tried to work with the democratic party here, but they all want to live out the halcyon days of Clinton and ignore the truth of today...and now the state lege is red for the first time since the reconstruction. What to do?
