YOUR SURVIVAL GUY’S SUPER STATES

You may be looking for a better America. Here's some help. I've ranked America's states based on their freedom. That freedom comes in many forms. Everything from lower taxation to protections for Second Amendment rights, your vaccine freedom, and more. So whether you're a liberty retiree, or someone just looking to build an island for your family where you'll be left alone, this can help you get started.

Your Survival Guy’s Super States: #1 Wyoming

When Your Survival Guy was in fourth grade, I had to do a report on one of the 50 states. I chose Wyoming because I thought its square box shape was cool. Turns out, all these years later, I was on to something as Wyoming checks a lot of the boxes that matter to me, and I’m sure you too.

Here’s a sample of the items that matter to Your Survival Guy when it comes to picking a "Super State." Does the state restrict liberty by forcing residents to get things like "vaccine passports?" What about protections for the Second Amendment? And is the state treating its residents like a piggy bank? Those questions and more are what can make the difference in whether or not a state is "SUPER."

I have clients spread all over Wyoming from Jackson Hole, to the University of Wyoming, to small towns that are off the beaten path, to ranches that stretch out as far as the eye can see.

Americans Fleeing High Tax States for Growth Corridors

January 24, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

UPDATE 1.24.22: For decades, each year a trickle of Americans decided they had had enough of the liberal politics of their states, and of being treated more like a piggy bank by politicians than as constituents. In 2020, that trickle turned into a torrent, spurred by Americans who saw Democrats encourage deadly riots and looting, […]

America’s Growth Corridors Outpace Lockdown States in Recovery

May 26, 2021 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

The governors of America’s “growth corridor” states have made economic recovery from the COVID-19 shutdowns a priority. While blue state governors went wild with draconian lockdowns, governors like Ron DeStantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas were busy finding ways to reopen their states’ massive economies safely, and to put real money back in […]

The United States Will Not Adopt a Vaccine Passport

May 20, 2021 By Debbie Young

January 2020, Dr. Anthony Fauci: “If you look at the masks that you buy in a drug store, the leakage around that doesn’t really do much to protect you. People start saying, ‘Should I start wearing a mask?’ Now, in the United States, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to wear a mask.” Dr. Fauci’s […]

Our Political System (Thankfully) Biased Toward Small, Rural States

March 12, 2021 By Richard C. Young

Writing for the Niskanen Institute, Robert Saldin explains that the American political system is biased toward small rural states. The Founders did that on purpose. It’s a feature of American democracy to protect the heartland, not a bug in the system. He writes (abridged): The urban-rural divide has become a defining feature of our politics, […]

According to the NRA, the other states with permitless carry are: Alaska Arizona Arkansas Idaho Kansas Kentucky Maine Mississippi Missouri New Hampshire North Dakota Oklahoma South Dakota Utah Vermont West Virginia Wyoming Every state that […]

Even in Deep Blue States, Firearms Training Courses Are Packed

November 27, 2020 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Even in the Democrat-blue New England states like Rhode Island, Americans are telling their governments “You ain’t takin my guns.” In fact, at the Newport Rifle Club in Middletown, RI, instructors simply can’t offer enough classes to meet all the demand for training. The Newport Daily News reports (abridged): MIDDLETOWN — Interest has been so […]

Mississippi May Soon Join Elite Club of States With No Income Tax

November 18, 2020 By The Editors

Fox News’ Brittany De Lea reports that Mississippi’s Governor Tate Reeves has proposed a phase-out of the state’s income tax to make it more competitive. She writes: Mississippi may soon join the handful of U.S. states without income taxes if Gov. Tate Reeves gets his way. This week, the Republican governor released a budget recommendation that proposed […]

America’s Silent Majority Fleeing Blue States, Buying Guns, and Supporting Trump

October 19, 2020 By Richard C. Young

At The Spectator, Scott McKay describes a silent majority tidal wave in American culture toward the values espoused by President Trump, not those of the woke culture. He says the “get woke, go broke” phenomenon is evidence that Americans don’t want to be force-fed politics by corporations trying to ride political waves for more money. […]
