Top 25 places to live for middle class Americans:

19 of the top 25 are Red States. Go figure. No one wants to move to $hithole Blue Commy states...wonder why?

Also, of the 6 Blues on the list...most are closer to purple than true blue. Again, wonder why that is?

a statistical pile of garbage.....really? middle class is households making $35K-$100K? bullshit

[Mesaclone]

your claims are without basis.....but feel free to keep repeating it......

there are roughly 4 million millionaire house holds in the collective group of CA,NY,IL,NJ,PA,MA,MD.....about 7.5% of all households.....it's more than a few hands

why don't you try getting your facts straight before trying to express an understanding of something you apparently have no clue about

Odd that you would cite a stat that reinforces my argument...and follow it up by claiming my facts aren't straight. You wouldn't happen to be a millenial would you...because that would explain a LOT.

Again, you make the equivalent of an "Oh yah. Well same to you and more of it." argument.

Do better.

Texas only at #20? Most of the states with better rankings are low population states. Nothing against them personally, of course, but give Texas it's due. IMO, there is no state doing a better job at keeping pace with infrastructure than Texas.

It's tough, it seems like new highways are outdated shortly after completion, thanks to the continuing influx of new residents. For example, North Texas averages upwards of 150,000 new residents every year, we're over 7 million total population.

BTW, I love the things I've seen and done in states like Wyoming and Utah. If it weren't so far from family, I'd retire in Kanab or Cody in a heartbeat. Hell, I can't even convince my wife to relocate to the Hill Country, lol.

And, you @BlueHammer might want to start presenting rational arguments and quit with the baseless insults. First of all it makes you look like you may know what you are talking about, and secondly, you might be able to hang around a bit longer.  Looks like it's going to be a short stay right now.

it reinforced nothing of yours......

Just because you live in a state that taxes you to the point you have almost nothing doesn't meant people who don't live where you do aren't capable of that kind of income.

If it's garbage...prove it wrong.  Back up your assertion.

@Night Hides Not Texas gets dragged down by Austin, Houston, El Paso and San Antonio.

@Sanguine interesting that the states he listed also heavily tax their citizens at the state and local level.

Really?  When?  What branch?  What was your MOS/Rate/AFSC?

He didn't say in what capacity.  He could mean that he paid his taxes.

As did I and MANY on this site. Not sure what point you’re hoping to make with that statement but being a Vet does not free you from having to present ideas in a logical manner. Nor does it necessarily make you more or less patriotic than other folks on this board.

When, with whom, and where did you fight...please be specific.
