k-12 tax base: Politics and Economic Growth
I think it is generally understood that red states outperform blue states by any possible measure. The Committee to Unleash Prosperity offers a new analysis that reaches that conclusion.

Do politics really matter?
The answer is a resounding “yes,” as the report below indicates.
