Poorest States are Red. Most of Richest States are Blue

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Don't Liberals believe that everyone is the same and that no one is inferior?
Don't the Democrats love the poor?
I guess that we can add the poor to the middle class as people who the Left Wingers hate.

This makes no sense. Thank you for your ignorant effort.

 

[Wyatt earp]

So you're saying the Democrats are the party of the rich?

No. I'm saying that conservative economics is a total failure and the most irresponsible economic policy.

So why does California have the highest poverty rate?

California’s poverty rate is still the highest in the nation, despite state efforts

And one of the highest economies in the world. We take care of our poor.

I would hate to see if you didn't take care of them.. uhm say that again please and slower this time

Who told you that? Likely you made that up, but nice try.
The New Testament is filled with reprimands for people who love their wealth more than God and their fellow man.

What, you never heard of the prosperity gospel?

"Prosperity Gospel" does not over rule the words of Jesus in the bible and create a new Christian ethic. I don't know what your point is.

Lotta evangelicals and pentecostals seem to think it does.

Lot of evanagelicals and Pentecostals are fooling themselves and serving Mammon instead of God. Matthew 6:19-24
.Message: God or Mammon (Matthew 6:19-24)

I'm no bible thumper. I just know basic Christian principles.

You would think they would as well.

You would.
Just like with leftists and their politics, their hunger for power and wealth overwhelms their morals and better instincts.

I went through the list and all of the poorest states are conservative red.

Most of the richest states are blue.

My blue state is ranked 10th richest.

Blue states pay more federal taxes than they get and red states take more they get.

So how is it red states hate the federal government?

We must immediately stop giving them federal money

Lol
You do realize the federal government does not own any money....

Address the point I made instead of the republican tactic of changing the subject and always trying to control the conversation. Lets start again.

Blue states pay more federal taxes than they get and red states take more they get.

Blue states tend have more population, thus higher violent crime. The Federal government takes more in on revenues every year than the year before. Socialist entitlement programs dominate federal spending all together.
Hi population urban areas cost this country huge amounts of money... Basically wasting money.
Rural areas control the natural resources, food, water and energy that whole country depends on.
Print paper is not wealth… Natural resources, food, water and energy are... You’re an incredibly shallow thinker aren’t you?

Red states and people in red states pay less than they get. Blue people in blue states carry them. Needs to stop

 

[koshergrl]

The poorest states are red because the blue cities and states have shut down their industry and commerce, shut down the little schools, federalized and joined school districts. Essentially, the red states are the hostages of the blue states areas of the country.

But that's coming to an end.

California’s poverty rate is still the highest in the nation, despite state efforts

You explain it to me. Since the poorest states are all red states I would think that Mississippi or Alabama would have the highest and my research of complete year poverty rates, that's 2017 since 2018 isn't finished yet, shows that Mississippi has the highest poverty rate in America.

We have to wait until 2018 is done before it can be fully calculated.

If California has a high poverty rate then that's reality. The reality also is that it's not anywhere near one of the poorest states in the nation. The reality is that California pays more in federal income taxes than they receive from DC while those red states receive as much as over 2 dollars for every dollars they send to DC.

I will say that California is cleaning up the mess left by prior republican governors. Pete Wilson did a lot of damage with his energy deregulation and Arnold did more damage by getting them farther into debt.

Brown has done a good job of cleaning up the mess that was left by those republican governors, he's not a miracle worker but he has made a lot of very good progress. Where is the progress for any red state?

Meanwhile, red states don't manage their revenues properly nor do they tax their populations properly. The fact that they have to rely heavily on federal tax dollars to balance their state budgets shows that. Some red states get more than 2 dollars to every one dollar they send to DC. While blue states like California get 70 something cents to every dollar they send to DC. Maybe if those leaching red states would pull their own weight so California can receive all the money back they send to DC, California wouldn't have such a problem with poverty.

What's Mississippi's, Alabama's, Kentucky's Tennessee and a long list of other red states excuse for their states being in such a mess with such high rates of poverty? What's their excuse for leaching off the rest of us? Why don't they stand on their own two feet and support themselves like California does?

An Overbearing government results in poor people, and An defeatist attitude

Red states are poor and infested with racism, bigotry and racism.

[hunarcy]

Wealthy people are smarter and better educated than poor people.

Poor White people are manipulated by Donald Trump.

So, you're admitting that the Democrats are the Party of the Elite. Gotcha.

 

[hunarcy]

150 years of failed confederate conservative economic policies and red states are what you end up with.

Exactly.

I was waiting for someone to catch the meaning of this thread and my post.

Red states are run very badly. They don't properly tax their populations so they take much more from the federal government than they pay to balance their state budgets. Meanwhile their states are in a mess. The red states I've been to recently are very different from my blue state. Those states are a mess. It's like going to a different nation when I go to a red state. I appreciate my blue state much more because of how bad the red states are.

It comes down to conservatives want all the benefits and opportunities that America has to offer but they don't want to pay for what they take. They want everyone else to pay for them.

They have run their own states into the ground and expect to leach off the rest of us.

Their economic policies are a total failure and have run their states very badly. It's no surprise that all of the poorest states are conservative red states.

LMAO!!!!

You are truly insane. Thanks for the laugh and I'm glad I didn't take your OP very seriously.

Never met them, but they exist in Hollywood and the Northeast. Most of the northeast money is inherited from people who made their money in the slave trade in the 1800's.

Insane. I may not agree with conservative economics, but to call it a total failure in the face of the current situation is showing how laughable your world view is.

And yet the Red States seem to be growing as the Blue States seem to be losing population.
