And blue states vote blue and stay in poverty.

Blue states have been historically wealthy and remain that way

Like California and Illinois?

He's an uppity blue state snob who thinks (blue) are superior over others..Just like the op who posted this

A highly educated population is a superior one that more capable of innovating.

Look at the middle east and Africa to understand that this is so.

The tea party that wants one big corporation running things that is unelected without regulations is kind of uneducated.

Interesting fact. I wonder why the Republicans in Congress won't help these people by supporting food stamps and unemployment insurance to them?

It should be noted that there are different ways to measure poverty. Occupy Democrats says its claim is based on per-person income. We looked at that, along with median household income and median family income.

By all three measures, 9 out of the 10 poorest states voted Republican in the last presidential election. (In fact, they voted Red in the last four elections.)

According to the latest Census data, 9 of the 10 states with the lowest per-person income levels were Red: Mississippi, Arkansas, Idaho, West Virginia, Kentucky, Utah, Alabama, South Carolina and Oklahoma.

The Census data also show that 9 of the 10 states with the lowest median household income were Red: Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, South Carolina and Oklahoma.

And 9 of the 10 states with the lowest median family income were Red: Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Louisiana and South Carolina.

The only Blue state on each list: New Mexico.

By the way, 9 of the 10 states with the highest per-person income voted Blue in the 2012 presidential race: Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Virginia and Washington. The only Red state on the list: Alaska.

Here you go, lefties really think food stamps are the solution to low income. Can you believe it when Black unemployment is around 15% the left proposes food stamps as a solution? The dirty little secret is that the "low family income" doesn't take in the cost of living into consideration. There are yuppies in L.A. and dumb assed libs in NY who would qualify for food stamps if you took their debit into consideration. Red states are smart enough to try to elect sane politicians who understand that jobs are more important than government handouts. Too bad the rest of them would rather live on the dole.

Food stamps is just a way to help people when they're down...Education and upwards mobility is the way to success.

The same government that has failed at stamping out poverty has put itself in charge of education, and is failing nearly as miserably.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

Show me an American slum and I'll show you an area controlled by dems.

There's a vast difference between poor and hellish.

I didn't bother reading any of the other posts in here but do yourself a favor and check on the Black Population as a Percentage in those States.

I think you'll find they're the highest in the Country.

But you're too stupid to think about things like that, because...... You're a dimocrap. And dimocraps are stupid. Like you

Poster #49 is quite right on this...The south is extremely black.

Education is controlled at the local level....Bad move
We have a Trillion dollar military and it has failed at stopping war
