Oklahoma was much of the basis for the article's points made. Highly strange, though, how it named Oklahoma with Tennessee as one of the two fastest growing states. I thought Oklahoma was only around 25th fastest growing of the 50 states.
For those who won't read the article because it's too long or isn't from a conservative publication, the last part of it was rather interesting. The article concluded that the reason why Red States are growing faster even though they are terrible places to live in is because they are attracting people without a college degree looking for lower cost of living and lower taxes. Blue states, though, are still attracting college graduates. There are 10 states that import more college graduates than they export, and all of them except Texas are blue.
