In a shocking display of poor judgment, CNBC economics reporter and all around Obama shill Steve Liesman tried to blame the weak jobs number on Ted Cruz. When a picture of Cruz was flashed, he started demanding that they play some "mexican music." Liesman, who is kind of dumbed down version of Paul Krugman, ie often wrong and usually belligerent and arrogant, offered no explanation for how a shutdown in October affected September's jobs numbers. Is Ted Cruz so powerful he could reach back in time to get people fired? http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/cnbcs-liesman-can-we-get-mexican-music-ted-cruz In typical liberal fashion, after complaints arose about his offensive comments, Liesman issued a standard non-apology apolgy. "If anyone was offended, etc." http://www.cnbc.com/id/101137079#_gus
CNBC has a lot of losers on the air, but at least they no longer have that moron Erin Burnett. Of course, they replaced her with the razor-voiced Amanda from Down Under, who is at least as dumb as Erin but somewhat more polite. The only show I watch is Fast Money, and that is getting to be unwatchable. I don't expect a panel of David Einhorn's, but some of the people they have regularly are such losers they should come with a warning label. I pay attention when Karen Finerman or Guy Adami is talking. The rest, I FF right through their comments.

1) Isn't that mostly a function of having no state income tax? (Wy, SD, Nv, Ak, Fl & Wa) 2) Then again, would you really want to live in any of those "Top 10" states? :eek:
I haven't seen the list, but it is an interesting question if the top or bottom ten would be more desirable places to live. At my stage in life, I would probably pick the top ten, as they are largely sunbelt. I mean, there aren't a lot of people moving from the Carolinas to NY and NJ. There is virtual exodus the opposite direction however. If I was starting a business that wasn't tied to something like the stock market, probably again the top ten would be preferable. If I were a young grad starting out in a profession like law or banking, then probably a different weighting would lead to a different decision..
I would certainly live in some of them. In fact I'm thinking I'd like to retire in WY. According to the Tax Foundation, the 10 states with the best business tax climate are: 1. Wyoming, Governor. Matt Mead (R) 2. South Dakota, Governor Dennis Daugaard (R) 3. Nevada, Governor Brian Sandoval (R) 4. Alaska, Governor Sean Parnell (R) 5. Florida, Governor Rick Scott (R) 6. Washington, Governor Jay Inslee (D) 7. Montana, Governor Steve Bullock (D) 8. New Hampshire, Governor Maggie Hassan (D) 9. Utah, Governor Gary Herbert (R) 10. Indiana, Governor Mike Pence (R) OTOH there is only maybe one state on this list I'd even consider. The 10 states with the worst business tax climate are: 41. Maryland, Governor Martin OâMalley (D) 42. Connecticut, Governor Dannel Malloy (D) 43. Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker (R) 44. North Carolina, Governor Pat McCrory (R) 45. Vermont, Governor Peter Shumlin (D) 46. Rhode Island, Governor Lincoln Chafee (D) 47. Minnesota, Governor Mark Dayton (D) 48. California, Governor Jerry Brown (D) 49. New Jersey, Governor Chris Christie (R) 50. New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo (D)
