Pretty much the end of cotton large-scale cotton production in the South from 1900-1930.

Oh yeah? And how is that working out? Urban poverty is just as bad today as it was 40 years ago. The only bright spot has been gentrification, which usually represents a change in the political landscape not a decades long status quo. People seem to think Detroit, for example, has only recently plummeted, but that was the same story as 20-30 years ago.
government addicted trash that lives on tax dollars and demands more daily.
That sounds like corporate welfare and lobbyists wanting more government handouts and payoff. Exxon/Mobile, Halliburton, GE, etc. etc. to name a few that didn’t pay any taxes but receive government corporate welfare to keep their companies running. Not to mention any of the farm subsidies given out for grain crops, milk, livestock, and tobacco, etc. seems to be welfare farming. Soil-bank for paying not to grow is another government welfare to farmers and corporate farming as well.
Oh wait a minute, the Tea Party supports and is supported by big business. Yet the Tea Party wants to take away personal assistance to those who are in need. No government welfare to people ONLY to corporations.
You mean like all of those brainiacs on the dole in the inner cities who vote Democrat to keep the bennies flowing?
Not only are those states in the south the poorest and least educated, they also have more people on welfare than anywhere else in the nation. Gotta keep those bennies flowing to get new super swampers for the old ford and shag carpet in the double wide! Yeeeeeeeeeeee ha!

You make a good point, but it's important to remember that they are no worse than the trailer park trash who use the same programs to support their methamphe.... I mean children.

I'm in the Tea Party, where can I get me some of this big business money you're talking about?
