so the GOP care for the poor? are they not trying to scrap that Obama care? increasing taxes for everyone except the 1%?
And this is why we don't get to have nice things.
The post you quote doesn't say anything about the GOP, neither party is the party of the poor. In fact I'm going to come right out and say it. Repubs are for the rich and wannabe rich, Dems are for the apologist rich and special interests. The "poor" are a voter pool each dips into depending on need that they then ignore until they need another vote.
US politics in a nutshell, you heard it here first folks.
Red states don't want a strong economy - that would mean "poors" and non-whites can get good jobs, too.
Based upon the ignorant drivel posted by the far-right here and everywhere, what they basically want is a good job for THEM and THEIR friends and family - and that's it. They desperately need to have people in bad shape who they can smugly feel superior to and use as object lessons in "the problems with those people." Having people poor and out of work encourages their misplaced sense of being "entirely self made" people, justifies their hatred of "those people" - since if "there wasn't something wrong with them, they wouldn't be poor," and excuses their gun fetish since you never know when "those people" will show up and "need to be shot."
Modern right-wing politics is built on fear, hatred, and condemnation of those who are different and less fortunate. Such politics doesn't work well in an environment where most people are successful and there are plenty of opportunities for everyone.
You should get out of the mall and visit some real, actual rural areas. You'll see the wealth, pride of work and friendly people.
Both political parties are hypocrites. But the red states are governed by conservatives who think government is too big and spending needs to be cut. The sad part is a lot poor people from the red states vote republican. They vote against their financial interest.
Tank California's economy and it takes the rest of the U.S. with it. Be careful what you wish for.
they are jealous as hell of CA, thus they make up stats and take numbers out of context in order to make themselves feel better. CA is a global leader and without CA the USA is just another european nation with a so so economy.
without CA Japan/UK would lead the world in hardware and software design at every level. CA's silicon valley changed the course of the USA. It was the primary force that bankrupted the USSR, they simply could not keep up with our cutting edge tech coming out of CA.
CA literally changed world history. They developed most every big tech that put us where we are today. chips, PC , OS , internet, cells, Smartphones.
trillions in profits, millions of jobs and billions lifted out of poverty. CA may have its problems but virtually every american owes CA a thank you and some respect.
I dont live in CA, but i see what they did. I see how CA built the future 60 years ago 40 years ago 20 years ago , today and 20 years from now.
those condemning CA do it from malice and jealousy. They wish they had CA's problems.
California's wealth and the other top states is from ONE thing... population... There is nothing special about California, it is just a state with one of the largest populations in the US... Large volume brings in lots of cash... big whoop... McDonald's makes more money than a local sit down diner, it doesn't mean they make better meals...

If any red states have less debt, it's because they provide much less in all sorts of benefits for their own people. Many of them refused to participate in the extended Medicaid program that was offered several years ago and their healthcare for those who need it most, is minimal. They are stuck in a much less humanitarian past, by their stingy, vindictive and conservative culture and politics.

Yeah nothing else. If Alabama had more people Silicon Valley would be located there. That’s why most people in India are so rich, all the people who live there
Every area is different in so many ways. Population density, cost of living, demographics, distribution of wealth. There are huge differences within states including California. From Silicon Valley to Oakland to Stockton to Los Banos.
Brag all you want but along with the wealth California has a host of financial problems. Just like every other state.
