Ron Paul Admits He's On Social Security, Even Though He Believes It's Unconstitutional
What they were answering

I've never met someone that lives where they live because they liked the laws of that state. Almost everyone I know lives where they do because a) their family and friends live there and/or b) that's where they were able to get a stable job. This might be possible for a young recent college graduate or a recently retired couple with a nice savings account, but for a large chunk of the population, say a family with children, or senior citizens, or people with very low incomes, moving for such a reason just isn't realistic. I mean the laws would have to be incredibly/unrealistically oppressive at least before you would consider that an option. I just don't like the idea of saying something is okay because there is an undesirable alternative available.

I was just giving you the mindset behind it. Also, a not so realistic option is better than no option.
