No. Why? The OP just posted statistics. What's that got to do with Democrats?

LOL. The counties I see on the list I recognize like Concho Cty TX are very agrarian, low population, low COL and pretty decent places to live.

I'd much rather live in Concho Cty than St Louis, Detroit, NOLA and the other crap Democrat holes.

Too bad you can't put crime rates with this list.

You do, that is who.

Because you know full well Red state economics are failing and they are failing the bottom 90% the most.

Meanwhile states like WA that used to be Red , have gotten wealthy by turning blue. It makes you sick to see Seattle full of liberals, but getting richer and richer and richer everyday.


You hate it, because it proves everything you guys say is false. The Red states making money are digging things up out of the ground. The majority of red states are getting poorer not richer. The IQ of red states is dropping because your smartest people are leaving to live in Blue states where they can live FREE.

And there is the irony! you guys talk about freedom, but want it only for a select few and thus you live much poorer and without the freedoms found in blue states.


Want to live free? want to have the chance to learn and grow, or just get rich? Come to a blue state. It really is that simple.

You won't see Amazon setting up it's new HQ is some Red state red city. They will avoid that, they will ONLY move to a liberal area because they need lots of smart , hard working people and they can't find that in deep red areas...

I don't believe either was inferred in the OP. The OP was pointing out that if Republican policies were so great, why are the 100 poorest counties mostly republican? It's a valid question.

9 of the top 10 fastest-growing economies (by GDP and job growth) are hard Republican states. Washington is the only exception, and it's because we in "Silicon Valley North" only needs to be slightly less libtarted than California to siphon off tens of thousands of jobs!

The irony of you pointing it out is the purpose of a second HQ is so they aren't at the mercy of Seattle liberalism!

Yeah, I met a rancher once and asked him his monthly income....in today's dollars it was around $500.

He then smiled and said...you do understand that my entire life is a business expense.

There are none. Just like there are no left-wing policy ideas that are supported by well-researched facts.
