Red states are the poverty states

6 states with the most people in poverty

Kentucky. • Number of people living below poverty during 2013: 800,635. ...
District of Columbia. • Number of people living below poverty during 2013: 115,551. ...
Georgia. ...
Arkansas. ...
Louisiana. ...
New Mexico. ...
Mississippi.

Republican reliance on supply-side socialism goes hand-in-hand with poverty.

 

And yet they didn't vote for Hillary, who represented the "free stuff" party.

 

Free stuff....most of the free stuff in this country goes to the richest of the rich, who
generally vote for the Plutocratic People's Socialist Party, aka Republican Party.
And of course, with Crooked Donnie as president, the welfare line for the rich is gonna
be insane.

Richest of the rich? Like Bloomberg and Soros?

Here is another example of people that could not see hours ahead on November 8, now seeing years into the future.

 

You have a flawed argument. What are the richest states?

6. Massachusetts – Median household income: $69,160 Poverty rate: 11.6%
5. Hawaii – Median household income: $69,592 Poverty rate: 11.4%
4. Connecticut – Median household income: $70,048 Poverty rate: 10.8%
3. Alaska – Median household income: $71,583 Poverty rate: 11.2%
2. New Jersey – Median household income: $71,919 Poverty rate: 11.1%
1. Maryland- Median household income: $73,971 Poverty rate: 10.1%

Imagine that! 5 of the 6 richest states are far left "progressive". Just goes to show that the government favors its own, "progressives" run the govt and make sure their voters get all the bennies.

 

Back to reality.......as a general rule, the blue states give more to the federal government in the
form of taxes, which is then redistributed to the deadbeat red states.

 

That's why Hillary lost. Kentucky does have a higher GDP per capita than the UK though.

Not a State

Per person GDP exceeds that of France.

Exceeds the Per Person GDP of Germany.

Exceeds the PPP of Belgium

Exceeds the PPP of Italy.

"Poverty" in the US is to be vastly richer than most of the world and vastly richer than even Royalty for most of human existence.


Have you considered moving to the Peoples Paradise of Cuba? Or Venezuela? You'd like it there!





Sad!

 

How true. And now the red states think that electing a selfish billionaire born with a silver spoon, third trophy wife, is going to turn their lives around. It's sad. The Russians have a saying: "Things can always get worse." Let's see how much worse 2017 is, under this fool who thinks he can run a (supposed) democracy.

 

We need to focus on making red states for once and not messing with the blue states that get it right. Maybe trump will figure out how to get the red states educated, healthy and making some money so we don't have to carry them.

 

why are people living in poverty under Obama. Isnt he the president of those states as well?

 

Red states are also the most generous; they give a higher percentage of their income to charities, even though they earn less than their blue state counterparts.

Red staters are better people.

 

That's a good question. Maybe trump can get those states educated, healthy and making some money so those of us in prosperous states don't have to pull their weight.

 

Why didn't Obama do that? He had 8 years? Plus he is still president. Can you explain his failure?

 

They need to. They have so many poor people. Lol

 

Good question. Hopefully trump can make them great for once. He has a lot of work to do....

 

Seems pretty straight forward. Just undo the Clinton trade deals, the Obama policy failures and bring those jobs back. I know its a good question, even simpler answer. So why didn't Obama help these states? Is he a traitor or just an incompetent democrat?

 

There has always been poverty. Always have, always will. Meanwhile let's see what taking health care away from 30 million Americans does to the death rate. Thanks, Trump fanboys living in a fantasy world.

 

You understand these are the same poorest states when bush was president.....don't you? Lol

 

Yeah, so why didn't Obama fix it? I keep asking but the left doesn't seem to know why their ideological leader failed.

 

The GOP runs those states. What happened to states rights? Lol

 

Couldn't the rich blue democrats donate their extra money to help those people not be killed by healthcare....and heck lets add global warming to that as well. Seems rich educated blue states can kick in some of their cash to educate and give healthcare to those millions right?

 

We need to end the red state malaise once and for all. Hopefully trump will make them great for once.

 

Or the poor GOP states could stop being so damm poor. Lol

 

The fed is run by Obama a democrat. The states don't make foreign trade policy. Congress does. Its Obamas job to get things done and get Bill Clintons trade deals to work. He didn't. He failed. The GOP states didn't send their jobs overseas, Bill Clinton did and Obama did absolutely nothing to bring them back. Meanwhile lets look at Kentucky, can you tell us what Obama is currently doing to the coal industry?
Who here thinks towns full of coal miners are going to become doctors instead? Raise your hands.
Who here in blue states like mine use coal from red states to generate electricity in their state?

Interesting concept. Youre a democrat right?

 

They were poor long before you ever heard of Obama. The GOP controls congress. Why are they so helpless? Lol
