I think if New Mexicans had their way the whole state would be socialist. Tax the rich and the extraction industries, get as many fed dollars you can, and get as many people as you possibly can on subsidized handouts.
wait that’s what they already do.
but there’s no correlation between that mentality and the fact it’s the second poorest state in the union by almost any metric.
If I was a New Mexican I’d be pissed that 10% of my tags get taken away. They say it’s to give out jobs. bullshit.
Coming from the state legislature that gets billions from oil and gas.
