half the nations welfare recipients, live in California.. on the coast, which you seem to be so proud of.
No they do not. Show the data because it's not true. Places like Alabama and Mississippi are sucking up the welfare and food stamps. Red states take more than they contribute. Blue states contribute more than they get back.

Why should I give rural Americans one penny? They elected Trump, they just need to stay out of my wallet. We can end every social program that exists, all so they don't get a penny of my money.
If you tie strings (such as who someone voted for) to the parts of an altruistic nature that you have described on this thread, then those strings show that the base motive isn't altruism at all. In a different way, another member tried to point this out to you either earlier on this thread, or on your other thread (can't remember which), but you were ether too defensive to recognize that attempt or too defensive to admit he/she had a point.

My taxes are not altruistic. Are you insane? Do I feel less inclined to vote for social programs now? Yes. But taxes are not charity. I will just vote against anything to do with increased taxes 100% of the time.
Cut off Oil supplies from all those Red States and make the West Coast walk everywhere.
How do you heat your home in Seattle ?
Do you really sell Real Estate? I'm just curious. You actually have customers?
Seattle temperatures are between 40 and 70. We are very fortunate and also have lovely fireplaces. And green trees. And green lawns. And whales and Puget Sound. And a rain forest. We really really don't need rural America for anything.
Republicans have it all now. You can't blame Democrats for your failures, your lack of jobs, your lack of education, so if your economy still is terrible, if you are still unemployed, if coal (which is still more expensive than natural gas) doesn't come back, if companies still don't move to the middle of the country, what will you do? Who will you blame? Seriously, you think Trump now will bring you prosperity. If he doesn't who's fault is it then? Will you finally own it?
I'm not a rural person but what rural person complains about education? A lot of colleges are actually in rural areas lol.
Also...your tears are filling me with joy sore loser.
Nobody. Trump is a leader and a unifier. I expect we'll see great things in the next 8 years.
If he were otherwise he'd spend his whole time in office blaming his predecessor.
Yes, Trump is excellent at unifying the white racist vote.
