Liberal elitism at its finest. If youre skilled and educated you couldnt possibly live in a red state.

Blue states have their fair share of debt and you would learn that from a little research.

We already see people fleeing from blue states due to cost of living. CA and NY arent as important as you think, but libs seem to think it.

It's not "elitism" when California is the 5th largest economy in the world on its own. If you subtracted that from the US on top of New York, the US would draistically be a shadow of itself in terms of global stature. The economic engines of the US are on the coastal cities, there's nothing "elite" about that, it's simply true. 

Things change, times change. Once upon a time in the US 50% of people also lived on farms and woke up everyone to walk around in pig crap and work on fields. That's why movie Westerns at one time were one of the largest TV and film genres (Gunsmoke, John Wanye movies). That doesn't exist any more, young people don't want to live on a farm or in the middle of Buttfuck, Nowhere, USA. 

Pretty soon most of the world's population will live in urban centers, not just the US but everywhere. 

Not sure if you live in Cali or not. but we are suffering. Good jobs are leaving, criminals are not put in jail, too much regulation is strangling the 5th largest economy. Cali has every natural benifit a state could have to massivly succeed and surpass, we have a massive coast with 2 huge ports among others, a central valley that produces its own food, we have Hollywood, an entertainment center for the US and the world, and Silicon Valley, a Technology center for the world. Yet we still can't seem to keep roads well maintained. We can't keep crime down. We have homeless problems. We have massive income inequalty. We have too many people on welfare. At this rate CA will end up like Detroit
