Progs hate paying for stuff, to them it's all free
I guess thats why they have no problem with paying more in taxes to support social programs? Cons hate anyone that needs social programs. Its an affront to them.
LOL Your base doesn't pay for anything!
You base is all EBT, SNAP and all the free government shit acronyms
Weird how your leaders really did a job on you with that welfare queen myth didnt they?
The Food Stamp Capital of the U.S. is WHITE and REPUBLICAN
"In spite of the prevailing stereotypes and assumptions about who uses SNAP Food Stamp benefits the most in the United States, the highest usage is not in Compton, Queens, nor the South Side of Chicago.
Instead, a city that is 99.22% white and 95% Republican comes in the lead. "
Been covered and recovered.
This particular town was driven to this breaking point by the anti-coal policies that erased their jobs.
Fewer people in that town than 5sq blocks of Chicago
Gosh you mean Gov't policy can effect a city? Like Chicago in the Rust belt region with the de-industrialization thanks to CONservative policies?

Owsley County, Kentucky is a community of about 5,000, residents earning the lowest median household income in the country outside of Puerto Rico, according to the U.S. Census.
The decline in the profits from
coal, tobacco and lumber industries led to a harsh toll being taken on the community.
Cale Turner, county executive of Owsley County
told ABC back in 2010 that economic hardships
have led to a high incidence of drug addiction.
“Those with drug addictions end up in prison without effective treatment. And it happens over and over in this community. The drug problem continues to get worse every year.”

THE WHITE GHETTO
Although 97% of communities within the U.S. allow the legal sale of alcohol, until a 2013 election, Owsley County had not. This included the City of Booneville, the county seat. The county had repeatedly denied, through democratic elections, the repeal of
alcohol prohibition laws enacted in 1920.
In Appalachia the country is beautiful and the society is broken. Owsley County, Ky. — There are lots of diversions in the Big White Ghetto, the vast moribund matrix of Wonder Bread–hued Appalachian towns and villages stretching from northern Mississippi to southern New York, a slowly dissipating nebula of poverty and misery with its heart in eastern Kentucky, the last redoubt of the Scots-Irish working class that picked up where African slave labor left off, mining and cropping and sawing the raw materials for a modern American economy that would soon run out of profitable uses for the class of people who 500 years ago would have been known, without any derogation, as peasants.
Thinking about the future here and its bleak prospects is not much fun at all, so instead of too much black-minded introspection
you have the pills and the dope, the morning beers, the endless scratch-off lotto cards, healing meetings up on the hill, the federally funded ritual of trading cases of food-stamp Pepsi for packs of Kentucky’s Best cigarettes and good old hard currency, tall piles of gas-station nachos, the
occasional blast of meth,Narcotics Anonymous meetings, petty crime, the draw, the recreational making and surgical unmaking of teenaged mothers, and death: Life expectancies are short — the typical man here dies well over a decade earlier than does a man in Fairfax County, Va. — and they are getting shorter, women’s life expectancy having declined by nearly 1.1 percent from 1987 to 2007.
If the people here weren’t 98.5 percent white, we’d call it a reservation.
There is still coal mining — which, at $25 an hour or more, provides one of the more desirable occupations outside of government work —
but the jobs are moving west, and Harlan County, like many coal-country communities, has lost nearly half of its population over the past 30 years.
WAR ON COAL FOR 30 YEARS HUH? LOL
