    I agree. I guess all the achievers are in blue states.

    Do you get that you are more likely to be poor in a state with high poverty per capita?

    Why are there so many underachievers in the red states? In fact I don't think that is the problem. Clearly its gop policies

    Since the welfare loving right-wing socialists are not appreciative of blue state help, I say cut them off.

    You don't know the history of the South? We have a very large minority group down here that nationally has the largest unemployment rate and the highest poverty rates. When you have a disproportionately larger share of that group then you are going to be at the bottom of any comparisons of unemployment and poverty.

    Is it really that hard to figure out?

    - - - Updated - - -

    So you want to cut aid to minorities and the those in poverty?

    I already told you we have a disproportionate share of the most underachieving group which then ramps up our overall number. Go read the history of the South as to why there are so many here. I guess they like living here. It's pretty simple math.

    What do you mean "blame" it's simple reality. Are you denying blacks nationwide are the most underachieving group and that a disproportionate number of blacks live in the South?

    Define redneck. You mean the guy who has worked 30 years down at the shipyard or the farmer out their making a nice living farming his land? How about the steelworkers and the autoworkers? Maybe the people who work at Airbus assembling planes or who build our space launch vehicles and rocket engines?

    ROFLMAO no you got that one wrong welfare has nothing to with being or not being a redneck, stop digging your hole. But Airbus, and AM-NS and Mercedes, and Hyundai and all our big industry is certainly GOP.

    That's because they were not educated. Most of them appear to be happy living in patched up trailers or rundown homes Americana style!

    Quite possibly, tho' there are no doubt thousands of them all over the United States, particularly a large concentration in the southern red states.

    Meanwhile,

    On Jan. 1, 2017, the minimum wage increased to $10.50 per hour in the state of California, up 50 cents from its current rate of $10 per hour.

    There's really a difference.

    Liberal/Democrat governments rather viciously drive off the poor literally by starving them out forcing them to move by making food and housing so expensive they have to move.
    What makes the premise of the OP so greatly false is when you compare income to actual cost of living. It does not take as much money to live in the South nor does the government take as much of your money. This is particularly true when it comes to housing costs. People in the North also pay higher utility bills. The climate also is friendlier to the homeless and poor than in the North and working people continue to move South because this is where the jobs are. Fixed income seniors also tend to move from the North to the South.

    Of what I've seen no evidence in your post.

    So Democrats are taking donations from foreign corporations now?

    Conservatism and reality are always in constant conflict. The red states are the anti-worker and anti-consumer states. The red states promotes low wages, so why do
    the con artists pretend to be shocked to discover more poverty exists in those states?
