It turns out that one of the keys to business success is lowering costs. That doesn’t just mean for raw materials, but also for government imposed costs like taxation. The places doing the best job of lowering those taxes and attracting more business are red states like Texas. In The Wall Street Journal, James Freeman […]

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.
