Stop the handouts, let the red state poor fend for themselves. It's not
like obtaining a gun is hard to do. Besides, we need the tax cuts.
Why are Red State Citizens Poorer, Less Educated, & Sicker than Blue State
Citizens?
Republicans worship cheap labor — and having a steady and reliable supply of
cheap labor requires widespread poverty…
One of the enduring mysteries of America is why the citizens of Red states
are generally poorer, less educated, and sicker than the citizens of Blue
states. To that question, I step up as your hierophant with an answer to this
deep mystery that you may not have previously considered.
First, that generalization is broadly true:
— Blue states account for about 71 percent of America’s GDP, whereas Red
states only produce 29 percent of our income and wealth.
— The median family income in Blue states is $74,243. In Red states it’s
$63,553. Individual states highlight the disparity: New Jersey’s median
income is $89,703, while Mississippi’s is $49,111.
— Counties that voted for Biden in 2020 are more diverse, being 35 percent
nonwhite compared to 16 percent nonwhite populations in counties that voted
for Trump.
— Counties that voted for Biden in 2020 are better educated, with 36 percent
of their population having some college education compared to Trump’s
counties at 25 percent.
— Residents of Blue states live 2.2 years longer, on average, than residents
of Red states.
Red States are true leaders on what it means to be an American!
Republican-controlled Red states, almost across the board, have higher rates
of:
— Spousal abuse
— Obesity
— Smoking
— Teen pregnancy
— Sexually transmitted diseases
— Abortion (at least before Dobbs; now it would be “forced births”)
— Bankruptcies and poverty
— Homicide and suicide
— Infant mortality
— Maternal mortality
— Forcible rape
— Robbery and aggravated assault
— Dropouts from high school
— Divorce
— Contaminated air and water
— Opiate addiction and deaths
— Unskilled workers
— Parasitic infections
— Income and wealth inequality
— Covid deaths and unvaccinated people
— Federal subsidies to states (“Red State Welfare”)
— People on welfare
— Child poverty
— Homelessness
— Spousal murder
— Unemployment
— Deaths from auto accidents
— People living on disability
— Gun deaths
