9 Worst States to Retire in...Yep, they're Blue

9 Worst U.S. States To Retire
8 of 9 solid blue...North Carolina a light Tar Heel Blue. Went Obama in 2012.

This is partly why the Red States receive more in benefits from the Fed Govt. Because folks like my in-laws fuck up their states up North and on Wrong Coast all their lives voting blue and when it's time to retire --- they gotta flee. Can't afford it. Will stretch their standard of living by as much as DOUBLING it by leaving.

In Tenn, we restrict them to the big blue cities. Make them undergo country music torture, bible classes, gun safety courses, and learning to speak the native language for awhile before letting out them out into the rest of the state. :biggrin:
OH MY GOSH!
:rofl:
that was a good chuckle!!!

Kinda like that up here in Maine too....

us out of Staters living here will forever be thought of and talked about, as being from "Away"
I bet they wish your asses would go back to "away."
 
Yeah , most of those states are successful and have high rents . So make your money in a blue state , then go to some dopey red state to retire cause it's cheap and warm .
Those states are broke with massive pensions for government employees. Live in a beautiful and economically dynamic red state. Then retire there.
If there are no jobs in those red states doesn't matter how low the cost of living is we can't move there till we retire.

This is why kids who grew up in beautiful underpopulated red states move to big cities. They move where the jobs are. And they dream one day they can retire where they grew up. But they can't move back home till they retire because again, no jobs.
There are all kinds of jobs in Dixie. You are a state government employee taxpayer sponge in your blue state...just waiting to retire to Florida.

They also move to the big cities for the night life. It's not that hard to find a job in Omaha, but there isn't shit to do.

I work for a private company pal. No union, no collective bargaining.

And you can say there are jobs in Dixie but the facts say you are wrong. But that hasn't stopped lying Republicans. I guess technically you aren't lyin. I'm sure there are one or two jobs in Dixie but fact is those places are the worst for economic mobility. Do you understand what that means? It means you might as well been born in India. If you were born poor you'll probably die poor. Statistics say so. Facts say you. Only you disagree.

My buddies kid has a good job but he had to move to Fargo. Fuck that. I endured 10 hard years here in Michigan and survived without having to pick up and move but moving is often the advice I give to poor Detroiters so....
 
Why are retirement states primarily Red? It's because when people retire they vote Republican because they don't want to pay taxes to help with school and things like that anymore... why would they want to pay into the school system when they don't have anyone IN school? They want less taxes overall, and the NAARP tells them to vote Republican.
Actually the last time the NAARP endorsed a president it was obama. I could be wrong but if memory serves me, I believe he was democrat.
They stopped endorsing after that because they lost members.
 
The States People Are Fleeing
More evidence of northern flight...not just for retirement

It is true that 700,000 people left Detroit. Some left the state too and I'm sure a lot of them moved to places like Atlanta and Texas. Good for you! Remember they all came here to get our good union factory jobs?
Which are no longer there but Trump is fighting to bring back. Hope you voted for him.

I didn't and I doubt he will bring shit back but hey, he shouldn't punish my entire state just because I didn't vote for him. If he wants me to vote for him in 2020 he will deliver on a few of his promises.

I think we are doing fine. You guys won't admit it because then you'd have to give Obama some credit so next year you will admit Michigan is doing fine again and you'll try to give Gov Snyder and Trump all the credit.

Michigan's unemployment rate in 2014 was 8.3 percent, down from 15.1 percent in 2010.
Employment in Michigan's private-sector has increased while the public sector has shrunk.
Employment in manufacturing has increased 20 percent since 2010.
Median family income is trending up.


 
yeah, Illinois is there, of course

high taxes, politically corrupt and broken government, ridiculously high property taxes and a budget that's totally fucked because of an underfunded pension fund.

what's not to love?

illinois lost more residents than any other state last year. people are running like hell from this blue hell hole....the incomes of the leavers also far outstripped the income of those moving in, so it's even worse than the raw numbers on that indicate.
