People can't leave California quick enough.

The northeast population has diminished over the past several years at an alarming rate.

The southeast is being inundated by northerners.

If you're theory is correct, then they must be heading to republican states simply to die.

Doesn't make much sense now, does it?

Is the reason they move.

The few liberals here know we're to find articles that just twist and turn facts and they post them.

It only makes sense that states with larger distances, fewer services and fewer people have a higher death rate than heavily populated states.  But the quality of life, living in a red states is well worth it.  Just the fact that in most cases you can make much less income and still have a better life style means a lot.   Let me give you a example: I moved from the Portland Or. area to Idaho, just my car insurance is 1/4 of the cost before.  Everything is less money, overall cost of living is 11% cheaper.  And I do not have to put up with the lawless crap from Portland, the homeless, the high taxes, the crappy schools, and generally a dirty city.

But I believe you understand that and could add to it.
