My thread is about ALL education, especially primary and secondary education. Children shouldn't be sentenced to a life of hard labor because they are not given an education worthy of the 21st century and steeped in science.
So, who would do the hard labor then? You realize someone is going to be doing it, right? Even if that means colleges educated people end up doing it due to saturation of the market with degrees (as we see happens even now).
Even in those states on your list, every single one of them offer educational opportunities for everyone? I am an immigrant and still managed to go to college just fine in one of your top ten least educated states. SO, if I, a poor immigrant, managed to do it, what is keeping the native born folks from doing it?
Actually, yes... quite accurate. Here's the breakdown:
Quote:
"An individual’s likelihood of being a Democrat decreases with every additional dollar he or she earns. Democrats have a huge advantage (63 percent) with voters earning less than $15,000 per year. This advantage carries forward for individuals earning up to $50,000 per year, and then turns in the Republicans’ favor — with just 36 percent of individuals earning more than $200,000 per year supporting Democrats."
You realize Trump won the top 4 income groups ($50,000 and above) and Hillary won only the bottom 2 (below $50,000), no? That just reiterates what we already know: Republicans earn more than Democrats.
Who cares about education? Conservatives are more intelligent then liberals, and we know this because Trump got more votes by people that make over $100,000 a year, meanwhile Hillary easily won the under $30,000 a year crowd, in other words the people on welfare. I dont know about the rest of you, but personally I would rather be making 6 figures a year, as opposed to getting a PhD in gender studies and working at Starbucks.
On any list that is going to be ranked, you will always have a first and a last. However, as another poster once put it, it is like ranking billionaires; the poorest billionaire is still a billionaire.
In this case, this ranking system means nothing, show actual stats, for all we know, there could be less than a percent between first and last.
The other problem with ranking characteristics by state is that every state has both Democrat and Republican voters. Ranking by state is therefore moot. It's much more informative to compare the actual known differences between Democrat and Republican voters, such as the fact that Republicans earn more than Democrats. Democrats are largely clustered in the below $15,000 demographic. 63% of that group votes Democrat.
They're all overflowing with hillbilly Trump lemmings.
Wow! That is a Elitist attitude from someone living in a city with a lot of homeless living on the streets and having acres that has to clean of human feces off sidewalks
Or run their state well enough to keep their highest performing residents in the state, paying taxes, and not flee to Florida at their 1st chance.
The so-called “higher performing” residents don’t pay taxes due to being able to have tax write offs.
