Poorest states have Republican legislatures, and richest have Democratic ones

[RDReed]

I read that as "my country" at first and was really confused.

Well you wouldn't be wrong either way. Cherokee Nation boyo.

[rise21]

The top 20 poorest states all have republican legislatures. Are blacks and Hispanics to blame in all those states too? What's the black % of the poorest state?

You guys love to blame minorities when in fact whites are the bigly majority of the population. The reason the poorest states are the poorest states is not because of minorities no matter how much you guys want to blame them.

Nor is it because of conservatives no matter how much you want to blame them. The “wealthy” states you claim are only wealthy bc they import resources(energy) from poorer areas. Without those poor people extracting natural resources your liberal paradises wouldn’t exist. It’s a symbiotic relationship. You’re 50 grow up.

The poor states are poor because were using Median Salary as a guideline here. Unfortunately 90k/year in Oklahoma and you're living like a King, where as 90k a year in LA and you're on the verge of being homeless. The "facts" being presented here are facetious in nature and don't actually have any bearing on relative wealth.

True, I can get a 3bdr 2bath house on half an acre for around 100k here.

Haven’t read thread, I’m sure already mentioned...


Op that data is completely irrelevant it shows income not wealth.



Brb Multi millionaire retiree moving south with Social Security showing as income.



Just lol.



It would actually be hard to measure wealth also- as much of it is landownership

[SillieBazzillie]

What I've learned HIT. Income has no bearing on wealth. And poor states are only poor because people don't get paid as much. Why don't the people get paid as much again?

[Dave22reborn]

Oh you travel a lot? My bad, I never knew you were actually Rand McNally. You really do know the layout of every state top to bottom.

And pockets of rich people? For the 5th time, half of the people in the stake make over $80k and 40% have degrees. Pockets of rich people?

lmfao.

And as an aside, the "sweetie" and "babe" and other feminine nouns you always sign off with are odd and kind of disturbing. But if that's what floats your boat.

80K after taxes is more like 50K.

Detroit was run by Democrats for decades....why did it declare bankruptcy again?

[jfcantu]

Aside from the collapse of the US auto industry?

Nah, must be Democrats.

That's the only reason? Baltimore is also on the verge of bankruptcy, as well as Chicago, what excuses will you give for them?

What type of legislatures run the poorest states and what types run the richest states?

[NitrogenWidget]

Posting an article about how poor R led states are makes me seem insecure? I talk about my hair a lot too, think I'm insecure about that?
You're a silly little baldcell.

yep.
It's a well known fact that those who demean others on a regular basis are insecure AF.
How many threads a week do you start putting others down again?

[SillieBazzillie]

How was this thread putting other people down? It was a comparison of median income by state and the party that runs their legislature.

Methinks you're a tad bit sensitive my baldcess bro.

[Belome]

poor Maryland, Gerrymandered into being a blue state.

Luckily most of the state is red and the blue dumps are stacked close to each other as to only effect a small area.

[JD805]

It's pretty accurate but trumpers and facts don't mix.

[jfcantu]

The only reason? No, of course not. It's never as simple as "X caused Y," though I doubt that it helped either.

Unsurprisingly, you can find "left" cities" and "right" cities near both the top and the bottom of the list.

[jeffl1980]

There's that funny link between education and wealth again.

I'll ask you yet again. And I'm sure you will defect and not actually answer.......yet again.

Between Trump and Hillary voters, who had the highest average income?

Like I said, people who put others down constantly do it because they are insecure and need to make themselves feel better.
Well known fact.

I feel sorry for you.
I really do.
It's not easy getting old.
My dad is 75 so I know this but he doesn't act like you.
Some people like my dad handle it with dignity and grace.
Then there are people like you.
very sad.

Exactly. Let's see how the "rich" areas do without the "poor" farmers feeding them every single day.

Illinois is 250 billion dollars in debt, care to explain why?

[gachase21]

Well look who’s back....

[Dave22reborn]

Well look who’s back....

Well, looks like the forum is going be slightly more obnoxious....for awhile.

[TLTrooper]

Lmao @ that list

So many holes and blatant lies. Whatever you wanna tell yourself, OP. Painting one state red vs blue over something as simple as income and credentials is pointless. Income doesn't mean chit if there's a bunch of people working for the government in that particular state, and it also doesn't mean chit if they get taxed an insane amount of money. And of-course, we don't have to go over ONCE AGAIN, that credentials don't always equate to chit other than perceived status unless its a HIGHLY specialized FOS.

[JD805]

You mad bro ?

Obnoxious LOL

Conservative policies produced the wealth. Leftie policies have been destroying it, if there is wealth in those states it is in spite of leftist policies not because of them.

Take California, it was a conservative stronghold from the 1950's all the way to the early 90's when Mexican immigration turned the state blue. A demographic shift has given Democrats control of California for the last 30 years. And it that same time we have seen a once prosperous state with unlimited potential, great wealth, and low crime turn into what it is today. Businesses, people, and wealth are fleeing California. The same happened in Detroit. The same is happening in Chicago.

There is actually a direct correlation between the level of economic freedom and wealth. The more economic freedom (conservative policies) the more wealth. The less economic freedom (leftist policies) the less wealth. Venezuela used to be wealthy, after Hugo Chavez brought socialism they are among the poorest. The more democrats take control of an area the more poverty, corruption, and crime increase.

Strong retard, there are a number of things that can affect an economy but I am not surprised that a moron like you would just try to blame everything on "leftist" policies. Right now in california, there is a construction and housing boom. That can be attributed to the fact that there are a lot of well paying jobs in the silicon valley. That is also why you see a lot of growth in places like los Banos. That place has improved a lot because of the money being brought in by the people who work in areas like San Jose, Gilroy, etc

Maryland has a republican governor and is mostly red counties. And lets see the places that really tip the scales to dems, PG county, baltimore city. Two yuuuge chitholes with two of the highest murdered rates in the country and supplying democrats a combined 500,000 votes.

[zinkhan99]

And yet Trump had a higher percentage of middle class and rich voting for him while Democrats are swarmed by low income voters. Please explain that.

[gachase21]

You mad bro ?

Not at all. I’d much rather see people post under their actually username - as well as continue to post regularly.



I don’t Wana see this place lose traffic

Youd think someone from MD would know this but here we are in another uninformed SillieBazillie thread.
