I guess you're not much of a fan of the south. What about New York tho? I'd bet good money that the bankers in NY stole more money from the American people in the last year than all of the people in these states combined. That doesn't matter? Or Michigan, turning off the water to tens of thousands of people in Detroit. That's pretty cold. Sad. You used to be a decent journalist Sam. Now you're just pursuing some sort of personal agenda.

Anon 1:26,
Why pick on Sam when he is only reporting the truth? As something of a son of the South with Southern roots dating back to 1607 Virginia, and, as a current resident of one of the aforementioned states in the list this writer wishes to express concordance with the posting.
Here's some supporting data to ponder:
