Your link is a complete lie and we've had half a dozen threads on this issue in the California forum. Just look at the poverty map as you can see almost a dozen red states have much, MUCH higher poverty rates than California.
It's just US Census data, so if it's a lie, it's the product of a Democratic administration. Why so upset, these are just numbers? Why are so many people moving out of California if it's all a lie? More People Are Moving Out of California Than In: LAist
Ancestral background and its easier to grow food in the south, disincenticivicng the need to save, learn other skills, etc. the north is more skilled, simply put. IMO, welfare has been holding pockets in this country back.
Camden is a pocket of poverty but if you look at the map in the OP New Jersey has one of the lowest poverty rates in the country on the whole. FACT.
Your other wild claims are in New York and Pennsylvania. Look at the map and see how much lower the poverty rates are in those states vs just about the entire south.
The same people driving poverty in Camden are driving poverty in the South.
This is a great article from NPR talking about poverty in America but what really struck me was the map of where poverty is located. Republican states, especially southern states, are just the worst in the country when it comes to providing a decent living for their citizens yet Republicans always try to pretend their policies result in less poverty. Why is it Republican dominated states are such poverty ridden crapholes?
With gas doubling in the Obama years, and food prices going out of control, the middleclass will be poor. Food stamps will flourish and in a few years we will be Greece with very high unemployment as businesses cut back because of Obamacare.
Many businesses are now going to part time workers and taking hours away from full time workers. Obama has NO VISION of the effects of his bad policies such as Obamacare in a bad economy . Obama may want to destroy the middle class and the wealthy will leave and take their businesses abroad so we will all be poor and need the government for entitlements. The socialism effect of a nation is known already and we will all be poor. The ruling class in Socialist Communist countries are the only wealth known.
Obama wants to spend your paycheck and distribute it through entitlements. Problem is the tax base will shrink as it is now and the entitlements will be cut. The lending to our country will stop and the day of reckoning will come and entitlements will cease and Greece will watch us riot. This president is committing financial suicide with his marxist policies.
