you know, i understand the desire to say anything negative about the "other side" that you can. but i'm afraid that blanket generalizations that aren't based in fact just don't do it for me.
the whole idea that "most" don't work in chicago is absurd. a city can't operate if "most" don't work
i don't have current numbers, but as of 2004, illinois paid more into the federal system that it got out. i suspect that wouldn't happen if the state was a bunch of societal leeches.

It's interesting to note that the vast majority of states receiving the least are normally Democratic voting states and the vast majority of states receiving the most are Republican voting states.
Many of the states getting the most are hit 3-6 times a year by hurricanes.
Natural disasters the cause so much wide spread destruction can screw with the numbers.

We could take that into consideration, but only two of the ten listed are hurricane states. That does not equate to "many".

I've never understood why people choose to live on the east and west coast. A very nice house that would cost you $250k in Oklahoma will cost you at least $2mil on either coast.

A company my brother used to work for didn't fire people. They transferred them to California and continued paying them what they had made in their previous state. They couldn't afford the cost of living and would quit.
New Mexico is not in tornado alley. Arkansas probably gets greater damage from the Mississippi flooding each spring than from hurricanes, which is to say not that much.
What about California? They're on the other list, but they get wildfires, mudslides, and the occasional earthquake.
Natural disasters are not enough to explain the disparity.
Texas has created more jobs in the past three years than all the other states combined.

In bold are states hit by hurricanes
Underlined are in tornado alley
I don't know of anything that occurs often AK or WV.
Point is, things happen in places then FEMA shows up. Where ever they have to go cost Fed money.
Ill is one of the oddest places I have lived. $42k/yr "Down state" and you are liven large. Cuz it's all small farm towns with some large towns and a couple of small cities.
$42k in Chicago? your fucked. You better be single and not choosy when it comes to roomates.
Plus the state employees union has pay set that so that you can do well of you work in Chicago. Since most don't....

Jose the roofer, Manuel the bricklayer and Octavio the lawn mower don't really count.
Texas is one of the best? Why this then?

The highest pay for blacks in America is in and around DC. Government jobs. In red states blacks don't make shit.I can't believe that DC is so far out of proportion, no wait I forgot who lives these and makes up most of the politicians. Makes you wonder doesn't it.
