I spend a lot of time in Vermont. I assure you there are a lot of people with that view. Everyone should visit VT and experience socialism in the USA.
Look at the nice estates. Go visit Orvis, Green Mountain Coffee, the Outlets at Manchester, Ben and Jerry's and all the other evidence of capitalism and free markets in VT.
Then ask if any of these companies are Chartered VT corporations and if any of those homeowners are legitimate VT residents. You'll quickly learn the answer is 100% no. No one stakes their flag in VT as it would consume you financially in a nano-second. Thus, the only voters are recipients of the State, not the contributors to the State. Like good socialists, they are most often in favor of large, intrusive government and registries of all sorts.
