as well as SS and a small (very small) annuity. If we could swing it, we'd have been gone from here by now. The only thing I can say is we did move here to take care of family... and we moved *from* Texas... and it sounds like just in time.

Part of any treaty would be moving prospective citizens from one state to another fairly. That would probably mean that yes, you lose property value in the state you're in presently, but you'd be helped, if not given a place in a blue state. If such a one-on-one thing could be done that'd be great. But property in red states is so much lower value, generally speaking, than in blue states, I don't know about that. I do know I'd give up everything here but my cats and dog. Just walk out the door and shut it, if someone would help establish me in a blue state. I'd be so freakin' happy to get away from these gun nuts and bigots. The one across the alley threatening to shoot MY cat for being in it's own yard, while he neglects his and lets it run wherever it wants was the last straw for me. And yes, I did file a report to the police on him for all that's worth. Guns are God. Dear Goddess....
