Help me understand this, forum GOP supporters. Why is it that our most desolate US states are all red, and our most prosperous are all blue? This reality doesn't fit with your narrative, so I'm curious as to how you reconcile this?
This is particularly amazing when you consider the fact that blue states are net tax payers and red states are net tax receivers. Wealth is quite literally being redistributed from blue states to red states, and even with that added stimulus...poverty.
They are measuring per capita income. we all know income up north is higher due to the cost of living. The south also has a lot of immigrants.
I'm not home now but when I am I will blow this mis-contrued assumption out of the water.
It might however explain why the red states are so desperate to get bills done approprietly in reagrds to welfare reforms, give aways etc because by looking at individual states in these states you will see there is a huge number of dems in these states. however, in many of these states in the past it was almost impossible to get them to vote. But now by buying thier votes as your team has recently used more vigorously it worked, and all of a sudden florida became a blue state. wa la.... floridas demographics hasnt changed from 2004 to 2008 or 2012. think about that. and then think abut the population in miami and orlando...
I see. So the reason red states are typically poor and vice versa is because conservative states have lots of democrats? Interesting. And why are blue states rich? Is it because they have lots of republicans?
not necessarily. but now don't over look the FACT at how they are measuring this, by income levels. why don't you ask yourself why is it so expensive to live in blue states?
They must have so many more people on the dole that everything is higher, hence high incomes to take care of those people. and in red states they also have high populations of people on the dole but must be managing their funds better to off set it.

if your not, then you can keep lying to yourself

or if your really smart, you might figure out why we need better policies to get people working and off the gov tit and also stop illegal immigration.
