Only if they put machine gun towers and mine the banks of the Connecticut River on the NH side first.

Nope--your post is going to be on Hwy 22 around Petersburg to make sure flatlander reinforcements from NYC and NJ don't make it into VT.

I think it's a wonderful idea for a realty TV program.

I'd be all for it if it had one-way doors, and they could never leave it once they went in.

Maybe the DUmmies can take the advice of some "progressive" cities like Detroit. Liberalism has worked out just fine for them.

30. Well, being blackmailed by the top 1% doesn't work
   
either. Seems to me that those businesses who want to sell to us, should be able to accept laws that give them the privilege to sell in your state if they are out of state. Tariffs and out-of-state business licenses or even expecting them to incorporate in your state so that any income they make in your state is subject to corporate tax are a few of the things that come to mind to me. I mean if you can make the legislature cooperate here, it shouldn't be a huge problem. I can see a lot of sources of income that aren't tapped into because of the fear that they might go away. Remember they are just as dependent on doing business in your state as you need them. And if they aren't, good riddance.

Hmmmm.....Remember that commerce clause you liberals use like it's the town's two bit hooker?  That effectively kills that legislation.
