Here is some info for them.  64,000 or so.  Seems like a lot.   Don't we have a few hundred?

Now just a minute.  Some of my liberal friends who live in liberal, higher taxed states, would say they give plenty via their taxes.  They would argue that they get better results giving the way they do, through taxes.  The one exception may be when their taxes go to Oklahoma.
