    Clearly the upcoming election is the tipping point.
    As Virginia plays out we are seeing more clearly the socialist agenda.
    The law, the Virginia Courts, Virginia's politicans and a small but very influential segment of Virginia LEO"s are willing to subvert any oath of office to open the gates to the demise of our Republic..

    The stage is set, the game is on. If any of these "Democrats in Disguise" are elected, we will never regain any semblance of the America we knew.

    Orewell's 1984 spells it out as clear as a bell. It reads like a road map.

    You’re factually wrong. NYC would be happy to be rid of the upstate. Over 66% (82% when factoring in non-residents who commute to the city for work) of New York State tax revenue originated in NYC and the three surrounding counties. The upstate and surrounding counties are actually a drain. The same is true with most of Northern California though the reason that they care about maintaining control there is the fact that LA would die of thirst without the water originating from Northern California.

    Anecdotes do not make you right, and having lived in a place does not make you an expert.

    “The state collected more than $47.5 billion in income taxes in the last fiscal year, according to the state Division of Budget.

    About $19.2 billion, or 40 percent, came from New York City residents alone. Those in Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk counties paid $12.1 billion in state income taxes.

    The total for those in New York City and the three counties came to $31.3 billion, or 66 percent of the state total.“

    It's simple logic, there are more people, which equals more people working, equals more paying taxes, equals more money. I still don't think they would like to lose out on 8.4 billion dollars. Also, this article does not calculate where the money goes and how much of the money goes to social programs and where. If the New York City region is using more of the money than they are contributing compared to upstate, who is really the drain on the state in this equation? This article is typical half truth rubbish.
