In one breath you deny it, in the next you blame Obama for it. Schizo aren't you. Or is it just whatever supports your ideology at the moment?More than two choices for what? You quoted the opening and rebutted that there are smart people who care about the future, implying that only imbeciles support the notion that red state voters defend economic policies that create so many poor people.
You got something right after all, only imbeciles think the government creates poor people.
For years, political scientists have wondered why so many poor and working-class citizens of so-called “red” states vote against their economic self-interest.
The wages of production workers have been dropping for 30 years, adjusted for inflation, and their economic security has disappeared. A smaller share of working-age Americans hold jobs today than at any time in more than three decades.
For them, a job is precious — sometimes even more precious than a safe workplace or safe drinking water.
This is especially true in poorer regions of the country like West Virginia and through much of Southern and rural America, where the old working class has been voting Republican. Guns, abortion and race are part of the explanation. But don’t overlook economic anxieties that translate into a willingness to vote for whatever it is that industry wants.
This may explain why Republican officials who have been casting their votes against unions, against expanding Medicaid, against raising the minimum wage, against extended unemployment insurance, and against jobs bills that would put people to work, continue to be elected and re-elected.
They obviously have the support of corporate patrons who want to keep unemployment high and workers insecure because a pliant working class helps their bottom lines.
As someone who has lived in the south for the past half of my life it always puzzled me why people in this region always vote against their self interests and defend the same people who exploit them . I attribute it to a plantation mentality ...

The way to overcome having to work for low wages is post high school education. Yes there is a concerted effort to keep labor costs low(poor business practice which leads to low quality) but that has always been the case. Of course companies try to take advantage of their employees. Who didn' t know this? This is the system that exists so it is up to one to garner the skills so they can hold them against those that would hire them in the form of money. The path to this is higher and further education. If you have the skills you can find ways to beat the system which is designed against you. Its basic capitalism.

If you only knew how many college grads with $100k school loans that are working at places like Golden Corral.

IT'S HILARIOUS REALLY; left-wing idiots trying to lecture about voting against their own interests.
the top states for the hightest unemployment are Blue states; and the lowest unemployment is in Red states.
Along with the lowest wages.

And the lowest cost of living. Blue stares may have higher wages, but those are negated by a higher cost of living and higner u employment. Id rahter have the lower wages, lower cost of living and more employment. That way more people are working without govt help and they live a similar quality of life to the bluer states
.
So the only reason to vote for something is so that someone will give you something?
Maybe not everyone thinks that way.
