Meh... you would just spend it all on health care and schooling for illegal aliens.

Maybe you guys should just raise the taxes on weed instead.

Ontario - Cut the population to 1/4 of what it is now, lower taxes, maybe a little bit less humidity and more snow in the winter :p

In the two years I lived in Oregon, I did not meet one resident who had anything nice to say about California.

That's because we actually know Californians.

Replace the sales tax with either a progressive, or flat with exemptions income tax. Or possibly outlaw insurance. It's a tossup.

A more consistent weather pattern instead of having 4 seasons in a 24 hour period!
And jobs.

Bring in some coastline to help moderate the temperature here! Other than that our state is pretty sweet.

Edit: Get that high speed rail built courtesy of BoomerD ;)

Agreed for all of them except the last, I'm north of Boston and don't know what's wrong with RI.

Now with the housing bubble gone their "great deal" is worth less than a FEMA trailer and they STILL get to sit in traffic for hundreds of hours a year. Suckas!

Oh, and Californians.

And anyone not born here.

Haha, nice try! Uncle Ralphie had high-powered laser ICBM interceptors built into the roof of the new arena (for when the commies finally invade). You didn't think a hockey place could really cost $100 mil did you?

If ND should get rid of anything it's Cow-Town. Not only would the average air quality in the state double, but the average IQ would triple.

NDSUcks!!!! :D
