Collins Report

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

While state after state moves toward bankruptcy and plans to beg Washington for bailout money, at least three states are showing America the way back to prosperity. None knuckle under to unions, enviro-nazis or illegals.

Wyoming expects a 100 million surplus in her next budget. North Dakota’s unemployment rate is half our national average and West Virginia is in historically good financial shape.

West Virginia is 15.1% unionized, but most of those workers are in the United Mine Workers Union (UMWU). North Dakota and Wyoming are right to work states.

All three get their wealth from effective use of natural stores of energy producing minerals. Wyoming and North Dakota have no union interference and few enviro-nazis to fight. West Virginia joins them in the latter.

North Dakota will have an 800 million dollar budget surplus for the next two years even after cutting property taxes and will still enjoy this prosperity even at $40.00 a barrel price of crude oil.

None of these states has more than 2,500 illegal aliens. Not one of these states where free enterprise and a fair labor market flourishes, has a sanctuary city to act as a magnet for alien burglars willing to help spend the state’s wealth. In all three states the money collected in taxes and fees is used to make life better for the hard working American citizens who pay taxes and keep down their demands for service.

In West Virginia, North Dakota and Wyoming people don’t have to watch their schools being forced to teach in foreign languages or their hospitals deal with diseases found in the slums of third world countries.

The road to national prosperity is clear: low union thug interference in commerce, control enviro-nazis to get the most from natural resources and slam the door on illegal burglars.

There are really no surprises in this data. We know what works, but our political class doesn’t want to do what needs to be done. Instead of trying to spread North Dakota to California, they are trying to Los Angles to Fargo. This fight is being pushed to the back burner, but we can’t let it stay there. We can’t sit by and watch as the Democrats flush America down the toilet to sign up illegals as new voters. We have to tell the enviro-nazis to go pound sand and we have to fight the “card check” scheme.
