My initial nominees:
Hi, CA, MA, VT, NY, WA, OR, RI, CT, and the ringer DC :)


But DC has no representation in Congress!

Uncle Sam will give you Spam!!!

Don't forget the steady supply of government cheese for those living in vans down by the river.  :P

Would you be depressed if FLP signups eclipsed FSP signups?

Russell Kanning

No

I am just happy that there are actually walmarts allowed in VT. :)

Not yet; they don't.  But the FLP will help move things along a bit.

Recumbent ReCycler

During last year's Porcfest, I went over the border to VT to pick up a blanket from the Walmart that is closest to Lancaster.  I think that it would be easier to get potential FLP participants to move from NH to VT or MA, since they wouldn't have to go too far.

I think they might like MA best.
At least in MA when the citizens (by ballot initiative) pass an income-tax-reduction (as we did did soooooo many years ago) they can count on the legislature making sure that it never actualy happens.  So they'll also get to snicker (probably for the rest of there lives) while polititions keep pretending that they will be the one to get it done - even if very,very incrementaly.

Besides, in VT there are guns - and guns can scare people you know.

Russell Kanning

no guns allowed is a big factor

I keep expecting Max to post that there should be a second FLP state chosen. (MN of course - at least as socialist as MA - call it the FLP Midwest)  ;)

No, it needs to be a warmer state.  A lot of people move south when they get old, anyway.

Cuba?   >:D

Soon MA could/will have the highest minimum wage law in the country.
Now that will surely put them at the top of th FLP list.

The worst thing about MA going FLP is that even the most marginaly sane might want to escape to NH.

I'm rethinking: A warmer state might be much, much better.

Mass regulations specify that if you are low-income (welfare, disability, social security) AND provide a utility company with a doctor's note saying you need electricity or heat, your power cannot be shut off.  Even if you never pay the bill.   (The rest of the rate-paying public simply picks up the tab in the form of higher rates). 


Russell Kanning

Ohhhhhh that is a very good reason to pick Mass.

So when should we pick the 10 candidates?
