No matter what you think, the fact that 13 of the 15 states mentioned above who TAKE the most money for WELFARE are BLUE states!!!!
some of the biggest welfare states....new york and california and mississippi...all very much liberal states....and missi also has the highest black population in the country
new york SPENDS more per capita on WELFARE than almost anyother state, 'blue' states like NY have more wefare reciepiants than 10 of those 'red' states combined..they are number 8
top 7 states per capita of welfare
1. DISTRICT OF COLOMBIA (wash DC)
2. GUAM
3. Rhode Island
4. Tenn
5. california
6. Maine
7. alaska
8. new york
the 'red'("republican") states also have the biggest share of military posts in the county
the 'red' states as you call them are not 'red' at the state and local level
the "red" state also have most of the farming. most of the military posts, and a good portion of the national parks
btw...many of the "red" states (based on POTUS election) are very BLUE in their own states...NC for example has been a democrat controlled state for 100 years..even though it was a 'red' state in 2000/4
highest dropout rates....nevada and illinois...very blue
texas also PRODUCES 40% of the ENERGY that California USES...yet
cali is the second biggest carbon emiter.....behind...texas
btw I am a new yorker (a northerner)
the problem is the democrats and their love for welfare and other social programs...the more they push these programs the more the wealthier states will pay for the poorer states. the more they push the "tax the rich" mantra, the more the rich will be paying for the poor.......NJ has more people that are considered wealthy, than it has people below the poverty line...a state like SC has more workingclass and poor than it has wealthy.....its simple math....and there is a simple solution,,, vote out the tax and spend liberals
