I currently live in Ohio, a state that is for a lack of better terms; a wreck. Like many of its neighbors' Ohio is struggling economically. The tax burden continues to increase, groups point fingers at each other and many people believe that business is destroying Ohio.
This is an interesting concept; business has destroyed Ohio. Yet, when businesses were numerous in Ohio, manufacturing was rampant, Ohio was a booming state. After so many years of demanding, taking money and lobbing personal attacks, the free market opened a new sector of competition, while become ever more increasingly a close market. With new options, businesses flooded out of Ohio, running for environment's that offered more freedom and room for progress. This has left Ohio a barren land and the people very disgruntled.
So what is my point? Business are the single must important commodity for any community, state or nation, Ohio's current situation is the proof in the pudding. This seems to have been lost on disgruntled masses and politicians. Now the mob is taking the entire nation down a disturbing road.
As individual investors, it is prudent for us to investigate states and communities' and the business environment they have created. There is money to be made, but finding business friendly environments is becoming increasingly more difficult.
For those like you, buy gold and silver :)...Oh yeah consider moving.
