For me, in WA state, I live in the wrong county to have my presidential vote matter anyways. It might sound like i have a defeatus attitude, I still vote, but unless you are voting in Skagit county, who's population out ranks all the other counties here in WA your ideas don't equal enough to make a differance. Especially because, the biggest city (Bellingham) in my county (Whatcom) majority outvotes my ideals on almost every election that matters! So, unless I am voting the way of Seattle (which I usually would never do) My vote = Diddly. and also look at all the people on the East side of our mountains, more spread out lower populations, Hey Guess what! there vote means almost less then mine. Example the way Seattle decided to pay for Safeco Field. Eastern WA farmers, that will never set foot in that stadium are paying for it, because the voters in and around Seattle voted for it......Sheesh.
Also, If we could give jobs to people who wanteed them, well they probably wouldn't take them. In my county (Whatcom) we are the number one producer of Raspberries on the entire planet. Guess who does most of the work? Not locals, they all feel entitled to 401k and bennefits, and paid vacation and paid holidays. hard to find anyone who is willing to "put there time in" or get there hands dirty. Most of the labor here is done by "out of towners" And they just send there money back home, as in a whole different country!
