And all the people there are wealthy, living good? Plenty of food, great medical care, nice homes, well dressed, great schools, no honey-buckets?
Like I said, probably 90% of all that "wealth" goes South, to fat cats.
And how many of the voters actually live out there, and have to live with the results? Maybe 5% at best. The rest are mostly city dwellers who have very little idea of what living out there really is all about.
Our country is a constitutional republic ... so the majority can't bully the minorities.
