A note on "welfare" and the Front Range: Due to the obvious problems created by expansive and debt-ridden welfare states, the Front Range explicitly does not include welfare programs as part of the gov't's role. In Front Range society, taking care of those unable to take care of themselves/find work/etc is considered the responsibility of religious organizations (which are, if you recall the tax section, quite well funded). Thanks to the relative prosperity of the nation and low unemployment rate, they are able to do so quite effectively and more efficiently than most any gov't would be able to.
