Just curious why Republican controlled states have the highest rates of poverty and uninsured? Do Republicans not care about Americans? Or is it they only care about wealthy, white Americans?

Why is it that places like Texas and Mississippi and Georgia Have so many people who are struggling? Is it the Right to Work Policies that are failing people?

Why does the OP think the area with the highest poverty rate, is DC? Clearly they believe there is a relationship between more government = less poverty, right?

The Poorest Congressional District in America? Right Here, in New York City - New York News - Runnin' Scared

Not to mention.... the poorest cities in America (over say 150,000 people) are Detroit, Cleveland, Rochester NY, Buffalo, Stockton, Miami, Newark NJ, Baltimore etc.

These cities are heavily Dem voting

Is there any more ignorance that the OP wants to share with us?

He said states, not cities.

You also said that the poorest large cities in America are heavily Dem voting. Who do the richest cities vote for?

Been disputed as incorrect
Blue State Teen Pregnancy Rates Comparatively Higher - Yahoo! Voices - voices.yahoo.com

And some other statistics.

Red States Have Stronger Job Markets
Women in Blue States Much More Likely to Be Stricken with Breast Cancer

The author of all of your links is J.C. Grant, some Yahoo contributor. What qualifications does one need to become a Yahoo contributor exactly?

Any comparison like this made on the state level is idiotic at best.

Try again OP.
