Anyone else depressed about living in Idaho? [View all]

No money for schools- Mississippi, watch out, we're going for last place. Taxes- expensive if you're poor- if you make 28000 or less you pay more in income tax than in any state except Oregon WHICH HAS NO SALES TAX. We're number one- in percentage of citizens making minimum wage. After Legislature 2013- harder to put referenda or initiatives on the ballot. Women not allowed to be appointed to head of Fish and Game- only nursing positions. Good legislation (Attorney General prosecution) gets dumped thanks to actions of a single legislator- Mike Moyle. What have I left off? Time to check out Oregon or Washington???? Sorry, had to vent. Oh and the background checks- forget about it, any new laws coming out of Washington restricting gun purchases are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Oh and the mayor of Eagle, Idaho believes that the common core curriculum is teaching socialism. Why am I still here????? >>>sad<<<
