The bluest states (California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois, etc.) in this country are all donor states whose reckless spending attracts most of our country's wealthy people and entrepreneurial minds, and as we all know, these people pay most of our federal income tax. These taxes pay for the cheapness of the most conservative states... truth is, red states couldn't survive with the same standard of living without the blue states.
Red states would do just fine if they didn't have to pay for their blue voters.
Is that why rates of government dependence are highest in red states.
Actually yes it is, people like myself who live in red states vote the way we do because we have to put up with blue voters sucking the life out of our governments in the form of social programs paid for with our tax dollars. I'm more conservative today than I was 10 years ago and that's 100% because of blue voters taking advantage of the system.

True statement! It is true in the way that its probably not really true and just something you said without considering the big picture. Democrats make higher wages than republicans. cram that into you perspective and get back to me.

Super rich folks and businessmen may value backwood republican votes since it can potentially save them money, but they still don't want to live in your state... which is why red states are welfare states. Donald Trump screams republican, but when was the last time you saw him away from NYC or LA (with the exception of a trip to a golf course)?
I saw a thread asking this of Conservative policies, and I thought I's ask it of Liberal policies. Are there any places worldwide with liberal policies in place that are thriving? It seems most bigger cities are heavily Liberal, and with them come higher crime rates, more pverty, higher unemployment, etc etc.
Why liberals imagine themselves to be revolutionary is a mystery. Whenever they gain power in an area, it comes to a dead stop and sits there as other places pass it by. I do not think that liberalism generates poverty; rather it finds it and preserves it.

Mercantilism is a liberal policy, it was the early fuel to the industrial revolution. very static indeed.
