Yes. All the poor people are White folks living in the mountains. I see the left wing disconnect from reality is far reaching.
There ya go buddy. The red states are the welfare states

Nah, it wasn't you. I was replying to blue font post...Who said this extreme statement and stupid statement? Wasn't me?
Whose left wing? Certainly not me.
You must be itching for an argument if you are going this far out of your way to straw man a blue text post.
LOL
I hope you are OK down there in Florida.
Funny thing is, a guy who repeatedly crossed paths with Obama once said basically the same thing.Totally remember when our most divisive president ever--Barack HUSSEIN Obummer--did this.
Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at.

You just blew those guys minds. They think you’re speaking ChineseIf just looking at the federal budget, the results are going to be skewed. When workers are concentrated in Blue states but retire to (low tax) Red states, then the taxes collected are credited to the state that they worked in while their benefits are allocated to the state where they retire to. So the Social Security checks and Medicare payments get counted as benefits to Red states.
Also, just considering government employees but not employees that work for government contractors skews results even more. Where are most of the government contractors located?
Also, deductions for high wage earners aren't being incorporated. Mortgage deductions are going to be a far bigger benefit in California and in New York than in poor Red states.
State and local taxes also reduce federal taxes, so those are hidden benefits for the high tax Blue states.
Further distorting those results are higher real estate values that shield more federal taxes through depreciation expense.
The welfare recipients in poor Red states might be getting thousands in payments, but they're not receiving tens or hundreds of thousands in tax benefits while their property soars in value.

Are you ok with this? Honestly, how would Republicans have reacted if Obama had tweeted a blank panther saying the same about Republicans or conservatives? I honestly believe a GOP-controlled House would have started impeachment proceedings on that basis alone.
How did you come up with this? I get tired of pointing out that 9 of the 10 poorest states in the country are red states, but it is still true. You can take away every democrat, and you are still going to have poverty in states such as Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, South Carolina and Louisiana.
Dear Sir, I can assure you, having grown up in the ruby red Appalachians of Tennessee where no Democrat has represented my hometown since Reconstruction, that I have never been acquainted with poverty. The populace there is completely unacquainted with government handouts and welfare having no evil liberals nearby to make them aware of such, and they spend their days in innocence and fruitful toil that ennobles the spirit and amasses the sort of wealth that few places on earth will ever know.
From Reconstruction, Republicans didn't wrest control of the TN legislature from Democrats until 2009. Democrats ran virtually every "red" state for the 150 years prior to 2010.
Time to start playing Cowboys and Liberals.Are you ok with this? Honestly, how would Republicans have reacted if Obama had tweeted a blank panther saying the same about Republicans or conservatives?
