NC Legislature Fights Free Market

It's no secret to those who read this blog with any regularity (thank you) that the North Carolina Legislature, ruled with an iron fist by Democrats, is more interested in socialist and state-control of everything than freedom.

This year's budget that included nearly a billion dollars in new taxes and even more in new spending was supposedly "cut to the bone." However, they did manage to find money to fund an "advanced vehicle research center." 630 acres has been taken by the state and billions will be spent to build this center.

However, if the private industries didn't build it, that means it's pretty much worthless. There's no profit to be had here. There's no need for it. Sure, it might create jobs, but only at MY expense, because since the place won't be making any money, *I* will have to pay everyone's salary via oppressive taxes!

Am I the only person who actually believes in the free market in North Carolina?

1 The more I read your blog, the more I don't want to ever live in NC.

2 I just hope by pointing such things out, there may be a chance to change them. I'm not holding my breath, however.

3 Born and raised in Kannapolis, NC. I now live in Sierra Vista, AZ. You convince me every day of why I made the right decision.

5 Thanks for stopping by!

I promise my purpose is not to drive people out of North Carolina, or even really to keep people from moving to North Carolina -- I'd much rather the people here were simply informed about what was happening so they could CHANGE it.

Then again, there's that whole debate about whether you should live where the politics already agree with you or somewhere where you're in opposition where you can try and change it...
