Democrats versus Republicans in four charts

[deanrd]

Republicans on the USMB go on endlessly that Democrats are all on welfare and Republicans and Red States pay for everything.

It all comes down to dollars and cents.

Look at a map of the states, it's easy to see why the difference.

Education if very important. It's true that you can spend a lot of money on degrees that are pretty much worthless as far as a good paying job. But a good degree is better than no degree.

And regardless what Republicans say, college is NOT bad for America.

It's like the bottom of all four categories are nearly solid Red.

How many of those states at the bottom are part of Appalachia?

If the GOP is so good at ending poverty, then explain Appalachia. Or even Red States.

Democrats need to fight smarter and harder if we want to save this country. Republicans can't do it. They don't have the sense, the education nor the tools. And they are too easily led by a con man.

Deanie boy I've noticed that on several threads you go on and on about the poor white people in Appalachia, and somehow it's Pres. Trump's fault they have been in poverty for decades.

Let me ask a pointed question: Exactly what did Obama do during his 8 years in office to eradicate poverty in Appalachia and the surrounding southern states? ...

Haha. I was wondering how to approach that in a simple enough way for him to understand. His argument seems to be

Appalachia was sure poor under Obama
Why is it still poor a full 18 months after Trump?

LOL. Liberals.

How many Dem run welfare cities are located in red states, well there you go.

Not a single one of these posters has refuted to OP or even disputed the information. They just went directly to personal insults and “but Obama”.

Here’s the other thing, these states have low state taxes because they have no state programs. Low income workers in these states get no state help at all. The only assistance programs available are federal programs. This exacerbates poverty levels.

"Federal spending". Does federal spending include military bases? Area "51" probably accounts for the spike in federal spending in N.M. I can't think of any other reason that N.M. would be on the top of the list.

I often put forth the idea of splitting up the US into two or three smaller countries so conservatives can go their own way and have their own country, and then do all they do in red states in their own country on a national scale. Very few of them like the idea and this is why. The blue states are the successful states, the states where people make money and are successful. The red states are the taking states where college is viewed as the devil's work and welfare is widely used.

If conservatives actually had to go form a country of their own and ran it by the rules red states are run by the entire country would be one big Appalachia with a 50ft wall around it.

Imagine how arrogant are the people at Fox News and con-talk-radio that they have actually convinced all these people to believe the opposite of what the reality is. And how sad that so many people are forever convinced to vote against their own best interest in all these red states.

When education is neglected, people are ignorant, and will believe anything, even FauxNews.

Does that not count ? How many red states depend on big military bases ?

Area 51 is in Nevada, not New Mexico.

Now show the chart of which states had their jobs outsourced most. How many sent to China, Mexico or Canada?

If you had a system in which, say, Wall Street stock brokers were suddenly replaced by brokers from India, these states would be harmed too. The tactic is, in socialist systems, to protect the mechanism of emplyment via "certification". So it ensures your job cannot be outsourced as the locals will say "wait, these guys aren't certified. They have to live here and complete certification!" The same can't be said of even high tech manufacturing where they just say, "where labor is cheapest, we go".

There was an article written only a couple of years ago that showed how many customer service jobs were being outsourced to India, Philippines, etc. These are the "low end" of white collar work. The author stated to look out, and once the high end jobs are outsourced cheaply, THEN those with big money to lose will care. He even went so far as to suggest doctors in India who could diagnose by high res cameras online. You want to see a MASSIVE pushback if that were the case?

I'm not saying this is all that it is, I am saying 99% of people are employees. These employees have no control over the marketplace they are presented. I am convinced, conservative/libertarian economic principles are the best for capitalism and free citizens.

The aliens just want you to believe that.

You make a solid point. We should immediately end all welfare and entitlement programs.

It's settled.

I thought you republican types were all about states right? What have any of the Appalachian states done to improve the welfare of their people?
