The example you cited was a coal town that, because of automation and anti-coal policies, have been badly burned.Your other brother from another mother, Rdean, already tried that angle and it went down in flames.TRUE

The ones collecting welfare (the poorest) in those states are almost all Democrats. See, being a red state doesn't mean you don't have any Democrats in your state. If you wern't such a dumbass libturd you would know that.
It’s Official: White Folks in Red States are the Biggest Food Stamp ‘Moochers’ in the Country!
Statistics reveal that the city holding the most beneficiaries of the SNAP program (a favorite target of the GOP) is 99.22% white and 95% Republican. Owsley County, Kentucky earns the lowest median household income in the country, but they are the most prolific government-takers in U.S. existence.
According to a TIME analysis of county-by-county food stamp enrollment data, GOP politicians represent more districts that majorly participate in SNAP than Democrats.

Leave the dead horse alone
Let me guess, you CAN'T refute it and ONLY have BS?
RED STATES MOOCH OFF THE TEET OF THE BLUE STATES
For all the crap about small govt, self-sufficiency welfare cheats and other right wing delusions, the fact is that the red states are Easy Riders living off of the Blue states. And they have less concern for their citizens, worse social behavior etc
The states most dependent on the federal government are who you'd least expect

Moocher Red States Still Don’t Want Free Healthcare Money With Obama’s Name On It
. Five years after passage of the Affordable Care Act, some red states are still debating, or outright refusing, free money because they just really REALLY hate President Obama:
Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia said yes to Medicaid expansion when the law went into effect. Since then, just six more have signed on. States that say yes get billions of additional federal dollars, but many Republican lawmakers are loathe to say yes to the Obama administration.
The expansion enables adults with incomes up to 138% of the poverty level to receive Medicaid. The federal government picks up the whole tab for their care through 2016, then tapers its support down to 90% of the costs.
It would be HI-larious, if the consequences weren’t so severe and even fatal, that states who’ve happily sucked off the government teat for years are all of a sudden uninterested in federal dollars for poor people to be able to go to the doctor

You can take a state by state poll all you want.
I was talking about how the story you posted has been squashed time and time again.
Do you honestly think that "red" states have no democrats or "blue" states have no republicans?
Why don't you break it down along those lines and THEN tell the class who is more dependent?!

FOR YOU TOO BUBBA
"But when the political lens shifts from partisanship to ideology, the participation gap vanishes. Self-described political conservatives were no more likely than liberals or moderates to have received food stamps (17% for each group), according to the survey."
...The survey found that significant proportions of Democrats (60%) and Republicans (52%) say they have benefited from a major entitlement program at some point in their lives. So have nearly equal shares of self-identifying conservatives (57%), liberals (53%) and moderates (53%). The programs were Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, unemployment benefits and food stamps.
OOPS
The politics and demographics of food stamp recipients
WEIRD HOW THE BLUE STATES MUST SUBSIDIZE THE RED STATES RIGHT???
