The State of Iowa: where our newly elected Governor made his first legislative priority raising the tax on cigarettes by about 278%. Studies indicate that people with low income are twice as likely to smoke than others. A few days later, he signed a bill into law capping car title loan interest at 21% and said that companies who had charged low income folks 300% interest were predators, preying on vulnerable Iowans.

A state that is a major breadbasket of the United States, with lots of farming and agriculture (even though "farming" and "agriculture" are the same). Also home of the greatest band ever: SLIPKNOT!!! Stay (sic) Maggots!
