The 8 Poorest states in the nation....What do they have in common?

[frigidweirdo]

Right wingers like to pick on Detroit and Chicago as an "example" of how dismal democrats' policies have been in fighting off minorities' economic woes......However, these 8 states are the poorest ones and guess who runs the governors' mansions and state legislatures.....

Mississippi
West Virginia
Arkansas
Alabama
Kentucky
Tennessee
Louisiana
South Carolina

Facts speak for themselves....and speak loudly as to why minorities DO NOT TRUST republican rhetoric...starting with Trump's "what the hell do you have to lose"......

Baltimore
Chicago
Detroit
Atlanta
Philadelphia
Newark
Cleveland
Milwaukee
Los Angeles
Oakland
San Antonio

.......When are Democrats going to start doing different for these cities?

It would seem that everyone is worse off when they vote Republican or Democrat. They simply fight each other rather than deal with the issues.

Demand Proportional Representation so that other parties will come out and there can be democracy in the US.

They understand? Or they understand from their perspective which may not actually be understanding?

U

They understand that most aspects of burning coal for power is dirty, nasty and destructive. They see the mountain top removals and know they did that. The destruction of fresh water supplies, they did that. The sludge pits and coke slag. They did that.

Suffer debilitating injuries, black lung, work 7 12 hour days when production is needed. Work little when not needed. Have friends die. Be replaced by automation. Choose natural gas to heat their homes cause coal is to dirty.

No, I think my cousins understand why king coal is dying. They just don't know what else they could do to make the the money they make. They are miners.

It's a sad state of affairs. The govt could do a Margret Thatcher and just close down the mines and leave them to it, or they could do it properly and give the miners training for something.

In scarlet red Mississippi the poverty rate is as about 23%....Be proud, right wingers.

Mississippi has the largest percentage of Blacks of any state. It has the most Black elected officials of any state...and that's not by population...that's the most of any State, no matter how big--New York, California.

So, either refute those FACTS I just gave you; or

Re-evaluate your whole bogus premise; or

Do the Libero/Socialist/Dumb-Ass Shuffle and deflect off to another issue by calling me a Racist-Bigot....an epitaph which has become the last gasp of another lost debate on this message board by a Pinhead-Bolshevik-Retard.

We need more parties. Start with extreme Left and extreme Right and get at least 3 others in between.

Don't play dumb.....or dumber than usual.....you know how it works.

Post a claim, it's up to you to back it up.

Otherwise it's just BS .......

So, either refute those FACTS

I already did in an earlier post above......From Governor, State House and Senate, 2 US senators and the entire representation in the US House, Mississippi has ALL republican elected officials..........but you may be right that some of that state's school board members are black

But,.. But,.. these are Right-to-Work (for less) states. Shouldn't they be bustling centers of economic activity and prosperity?

Wasn't it your Obama who bankrupted coal?

No, dumb ass. It was fracking.

You're saying that because it has more black people, therefore the problem IS black people. Where's the logic in that?

It has more "s" in its name than any other state. So that MUST ALSO be the problem.

There needs to be a center party for sure.

That shit pisses me off ..when you write it like that

It just reminds me when a Damn republican president bombed black wall street from the air.

It reminds me when a democrat president came up with the minimum wage to fuck over blacks on getting a job..

We have a sick history of this..

I guess you can argue with me on this, but the way I feel democrats has always been the problem with blacks..

White republicans don't give a shit And are hands off what color the skin is~ just make them money and they will pay you and provide jobs

White democrats~ well they care about power they will throw a bone once and a while to the poor for votes...that's it.

Minimum wage has never been shown to prevent jobs.

The UK implemented minimum wage in 1997.

At the beginning of 1997 unemployment was 7.3%
the beginning of 1998 it was 6.4%
the beginning of 1999 it was 6.2%
the beginning of 2000 it was 5.8%
the beginning of 2001 it was 5%
the beginning of 2002 it was 5.2%
the beginning of 2003 it was 5.2%
the beginning of 2004 it was 4.8%

But you claim that minimum wage would make it HARDER to get a job.

No. Cheap gas and excessive emissions bankrupted coal.

Cheap gas isn't what forced existing coal fired power plants to shut down, moron, and the term "excessive emissions" is purely an opinion, not a fact.

If that's true, then why not raise the minimum wage to $100/hr?

The unions lobbied their state governments to pass laws that insulate management from shareholder demands.

These are all GOP (red) states.

I already knew about Miss. and W.V.

Louisiana does not surprise me, it being right next to Miss.

WV is poor because Obama is destroying the coal industry.

Gee, now THAT was really "unexpected"....A right wing retard blaming Obama? Hold the presses......

A leftwing retard blaming Republicans? Shazam!
