We have a lower ~~average~~ median wage than the poorest state, and house prices that rival the US most expensive cities. Trump might be right when he says we cant govern ourselves, at least when people keep voting for the same cabinet that got us here, there might be something in the water at this point that requires urgent investigation.

None of that is true. You really are a turnip. Go spend some time researching quality of life, income disparity, and taxation. Canada is better in all regards.

Median I meant. Its also significantly cheaper for housing in mississippi. Taxes are definitely cheaper there, where given your dollars value more of your taxes fall under a lower tax bracket, and if I'm not mistaken Mississippi just cut their income tax entirely.

Again this is the worst US state we are comparing to, I'm not trying to pump them up as something amazing.
