Worms Leaving The Big Apple

The following is an article in the American Thinker written by Andrew Thomas. It pretty much captures the reason why so many people despise New Yorkers who relocate into their states.

The reason is simple, many New Yorkers are idiots who can no longer abide the expensive rat-holes, oppressive environment and lack of economic opportunity in New York City but can not leave their socialist way of thinking behind.

They're like parasites, leaving a dying host only to infect another body wherever they they land.

Donna and Frank have lived in various areas of Brooklyn NY for the past five years. Their last apartment was a one-room concrete "cave" on the fifth floor of a converted warehouse. It had very little lighting, with two windows that looked out at a bleak, aging wall of neighboring apartment windows. It had no individual temperature control, so the apartment was stifling hot most of the time. The elevator continually reeked of urine.

And they paid good money for this oppressive rat hole.

[...]Last week, Donna and Frank finally left NYC for good.

It was as if they had died and gone to heaven. Well, to Orlando, Florida to be exact. Donna was able to snag another six-figure full time position. But Orlando's cost of living is about half of NYC's, so she essentially doubled her income. Frank obtained a Florida teaching certification within three days of their arrival.

So the parasites settle in and find a comfortable fold within the intestines of Florida.

There is an ironic twist to this story, however. Frank is a card-carrying member of ISO (International Socialist Organization). Donna has also been brainwashed by the socialist siren song. Their library is filled with Noam Chomsky, and radical posters decorate their walls with phrases such as "Turn Off Faux News!"

When I expressed my disdain for Obamacare back in 2009, Donna accused me of being a murderer, and asked incredulously, "Why are you against free healthcare?" I couldn't convince her otherwise. Their idyllic vision of socialism is where "we will all govern each other".

And this idiot is a teacher. Florida should be more careful.
