That is actually not the case. There is a county in Kentucky that has the most people on welfare, but funny thing is all of them are conservative. The Food Stamp Capital of the U.S. is WHITE and REPUBLICAN : Political Blind Spot

Like much of rural America, dependence on government is sky high. Too little income, too little education, and the hotbed of meth activity which destroyed giant swaths of the populations lives.

The decline in the profits from coal, tobacco and lumber industries led to a harsh toll being taken on the community.
Examine who put an end to those things.

I'd read that Kiryas Joel in New York was the poorest place. Most of the people there ultra orthodox jews.

They are religous zealots. They probably have very little knowledge of economics.

Many of whom vote very conservatively for 2 reasons:
1) defense of Israel
2) the own businesses ;

Yeah, it pretty bad in Oklahoma. Recently, local law enforcement agencies served nearly 40 Arrest Warrants in Stephens County(where the town of Duncan is) for people selling a variety of drugs including meth, prescription pills and marijuana. Duncan is the hell hole where a young Australian exchange student, who liked to play baseball was shot dead while jogging by one of three teens passing by in a car.

For the political issues they hold dearest to their hearts it's surely about being pro God, pro Gun and being against Gays.

Thank you for the kind words of support. You did not provide any facts in rebuttal and thus acknowledge the facts previously stated.

FYI: RB: H.6 Release--Money Stock and Debt Measures--August 14, 2013
1. M1 consists of (1) currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of depository institutions; (2) traveler's checks of nonbank issuers; (3) demand deposits at commercial banks (excluding those amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign banks and official institutions) less cash items in the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (4) other checkable deposits (OCDs), consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) and automatic transfer service (ATS) accounts at depository institutions, credit union share draft accounts, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.
2. M2 consists of M1 plus (1) savings deposits (including money market deposit accounts); (2) small-denomination time deposits (time deposits in amounts of less than $100,000), less individual retirement account (IRA) and Keogh balances at depository institutions; and (3) balances in retail money market mutual funds, less IRA and Keogh balances at money market mutual funds.
The bottom line, the outstanding accounts receivable and debts are far greater than the total sum of circulating money tokens.
When (not if) the bank run begins, few will successfully "cash out."

So interesting to see people put this yet they have never actually shown a study or evidence what is was meant for. I guess they think if they say it over and over it must be true.
