Uh huh....Like I have told you many times, it is very poor Democrats in most Southern red states that damage the statistics. You seem to think that doctor’s, lawyers and other successful people in red states live in the same areas and neighborhood’s as the downtrodden. That is to be expected because that is essentially what happens in large blue inner cities. There are some very wealthy people in Manhattan, but they still have to step over the homeless at times when walking down the street. We don’t have that problem.
Our poor tend to be very poor and very Democrat. Our wealthy tend to be not as wealthy on average as those in large cities, but have a better standard of living on a per dollar basis. The same goes for our middle class. The salaries for the wealthy and middle class tend to be lower than in large blue cities because a) far less unions and b) the cost of living doesn’t require it. With lower salaries comes less federal taxable income, meaning less to offset the poor Democrats who are reliant on federal funds. That means many Southern red states are in the red when it comes to federal funding. Remove the Democrats and we would be well into the black.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
Third Way.
Red states like Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama are America’s murder capitals and have had the highest three murder rates for 15 of the last 23 years.
The excuse that sky high red state murder rates are because of their blue cities is without merit. Even after removing the county with the largest city from red states, and not from blue states, red state murder rates were still 20% higher in 2021 and 16% higher in 2022.
