+3They're not all Republican. New Mexico has voted Republican once in the last 5 presidential elections. More importantly, New Mexico and West Virginia are overwhelmingly Democratic at the state and local level. Also I think Arizona is supposed to be Arkansas. But none of that is the reason. Most of those states are in the South, and have always been poor, despite being solidly Democratic for many generations. Many of these are, however, some the fastest growing states. Thought he South is still poorer, it is not nearly as far behind as it was just a few decades ago. Republicans at the state level are good for the economy, as businesses tend to set up shop in the states with the lowest taxes and fewest regulations. Nationally, not so much, as their military spending bankrupts us.
The relative strength of the North has a lot to do with the auto industry, now fading quickly.
why - because the GOP waves a flag & holds up a bible -
thats all folks !!

So, I would rather live in a really "poor" state with a low cost of living than a less "poor" state with a high cost of living.
Read Whats a Matter with Kanssas
rural areas would receive more per person. This is also straight monies. See how
many high rises are built and paid for ,with tax dollars, in Iowa or Nebraska. You are
losing context when you merely state these numbers without adding up the
total dollars spent including education, medicare,medicaid, unemployment etc...
those subsidies versus say medicaid in a blue state or the
amount paid for unemployment benefits in a large blue metro
area. Come to think of it , you probably would not want to.
WOW, the Progressive Liberals are lying to us and THEY are the real 1%.
Now why are they poor, well after trusting the Democrats they were driven into poverty and now look to the Conservatives to help create jobs; or maybe it's their Conservative family values that Liberals hate; one thing for sure they won't deal with Liberal BS.
But I can tell you I know of heart surgeons that don't know how a ballcock in a toilet works nor how to repair it, so I would surely question them on doing a Mitral valve replacement or properly diagnosing a aortic stenosis. And I did not have to go to college for 12 years to be educated on either of them.
