Upholding the ideal that NOT all people are created equal. That they are not equal when it comes to Sex, Religion, Ethnic background, Educational status, etc.

We are seeing in Republican led states laws to suppress Voting rights, Civil Rights, Reproductive Rights, Human Rights, and more. While states with Democratic party majorities are working to protect the rights of ALL its residents by expanding assurances and services to meet their needs with fairer taxation in order to pay for it be that Social, Economic, Educational, etc.

The differences in the states could not be more obvious than in the rural areas where services such as Cell phone towers, broadband internet, other solid infrastructure, are lacking. Even Education standards vary from state to state. Gross income based on hourly wage is obvious as it dictates the standard of living. In Right To Work states where the Minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour, it shows.

Republican Governors such as SHS, DeSantis, Abbott, want to do all they can to SUPPRESS the rights of its residents. While Newsome, Pritzker, Whitmer, Walz, and other Democratic Party Governors work to make their states the model for Wage and Economic growth.
