20. Fuck Mississippi

State's rights and smaller government and secession and all that. They overwhelmingly voted for him and Mississippi is a "taker" state. Why should other states like Washington or California have to continually carry states that elect local and state government officials that so poorly manage their responsibilities?

Mississippi is consistently ranked in the bottom of quality of life and business and education lists compared to other states but they continue to elect incompetent "small government" republicans who talk about how awful the federal government is but have no problem holding their hand out for money that comes from the taxes of states that know how to manage themselves better.
