If the conservatives in the rural areas stopped producing, the leftists in cities would know about it shortly as they are no longer able to get food from their grocery stores. One day we may have to put that to the test, since leftists apparently take conservatives for granted.
Yes I can.
And if liberals in the more urban areas stopped producing, conservatives in the rural areas would know it immediately since 2/3 of the economic activity comes from those areas.
Just because a county is blue doesn't mean that all residents of the county are democrats/left-leaning. I used to live in San Bernardino County in CA, which is barely blue voter-wise by one percentage point. but still defined as "blue". Lots of Republicans and independents there. So I would say that the actual breakdown is more 60/40. 40% is hardly "not producing much".
Right.
No I'm not disputing that fact, I'm disputing your notion that counties outside of your coveted blue counties don't produce "much". What is your main point or endgame in saying that? No one is going to dispute for example, that a greater percentage of college graduates are democrats. Is that what you are trying to say? Democrats are "smarter" or more "educated" so they produce more and are "better"? Thats kind of what it sounds like. If so, then that is quite elitist......
They produce 1/3.
We already agreed that just because counties are designated "blue" does not mean that there are not plenty of people in that county who are not left or left- leaning. By your logic, since the country is split 50/50 , then the total amount of produced GDP is also split 50/50. County demographics are what they are, but the non-left people within those counties still produce. Then add all of the non-lefts in the areas outside of those concentrated population centers, and you have the fact that nationwide as a whole, left-leaning people dont contribute any more percentage-wise to the GDP than right-leaning people. For that to not be true, you would have to show that nationally, a greater percentage of registered Republicans aren't working compared to registered Democrats.
But red counties aren't all red either, so how do you explain the disparity. Places controlled by democrats politically produce more than places controlled by Republicans, even though both have a mix of people.

The current version just introduced includes measures to allow California to impose wealth taxes on residents even years after they left the state and moved elsewhere.
California Democrats consider wealth tax — including for people who moved out of state
California Democrats introduced legislation that would impose a new tax on wealthy residents — even if they've already moved out of the state.www.foxnews.com
Exit taxes aren't new in California. But this bill also includes provisions to create contractual claims tied to the assets of a wealthy taxpayer who doesn't have the cash to pay their annual wealth tax bill because most of their assets aren't easily turned into cash. This claim would require the taxpayer to make annual filings with California's Franchise Tax Board and eventually pay the wealth taxes owed, even if they've moved to another state.
California was one of several blue states last week to unveil bills to impose new wealth taxes. The other states were Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York and Washington. Each state's proposal contained a different tax approach, but they all centered around the same basic idea: the rich must pay more.
maybe not if its a sole state issue..dont know
