    Good ol' RI, now with unemployment at 12.9%, only behind Michigan.
    Why are all the neighboring states below 10%?
    RI has beautiful beaches...that's it!!! Everything else sucks in this state.
    The roads are ranked 49th out of the 50 states. We are #2 in unemployment figures. Our taxes are among the highest. Our auto insurance is among the highest. We pay huge property taxes every year for our vehicles. Property taxes for our homes are double that of some southwestern states.
    The list goes on.....

    You're going to have to do better than 12.9% to impress me. ;)

    I feel your pain.
    In fact, I was born in Bay City, MI., so I have ties to both states.:D

    Aha! We have the common connection. When people in RI figure this out, you're gonna be in BIG trouble. ;)

    Yes but you have the charming independent country of Petoria to visit! As well as Pawtucket Pat beer!

    We could send you our cousin....every time he has changed jobs over the last 10 years or so the company goes out of business. I'm surprised people still hire him!!
