Know how Liberal Scholars and Echo Chambers suggest Red States are the real welfare States?

[IDIOCRACY]

Just lying as usual. They like to offer a slice of information free of reality, context and content so their peeps run with it. Course they're being dishonest, that's just how they do.

Fact is, desirability (climate) and usefulness (geography) builds an economy. Democrat scholars and such want to pretend "it's the political party". Sure, a govt. can break stuff, look at California, a Red State before Clinton, and INTERNET. I don't see a big rush of people moving into Louisiana, though I do see a mass exodus of common citizens leaving California.

States with Highest Percentages of Public Assistance (Welfare/SNAP)
As of late 2025, the following states had the highest share of residents receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits:
Visual Capitalist +2

• New Mexico: ~21.5% of the population. DEMOCRAT
• Oregon: ~18.1% of the population. DEMOCRAT
• Louisiana: ~17.5% of the population. REPUBLICAN
• Oklahoma: ~16.9% of the population. REPUBLICAN
• West Virginia: ~15.5% of the population. REPUBLICAN

States with Highest Percentages on State-Funded Healthcare (Medicaid/CHIP)
As of February 2026, the states with the highest percentage of residents enrolled in Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) were:

• New Mexico: ~34.8% of the population. DEMOCRAT
• California: ~33.1% to 33.6% of the population. The internet reports 38%...... DEMOCRAT
• New York: ~32.7% to 32.8% of the population. DEMOCRAT
• Louisiana: ~32.7% of the population. REPUBLICAN
• Oregon: ~30.3% of the population. DEMOCRAT
• Kentucky: ~29.6% of the population. DEMOCRAT

So neat, some red States soak in more money per capita, because of geography, so Lib. Democrats can pretend it's political party

I looked up "what states have the greater percentage of people on welfare or state funded healthcare" on Google. Stuff is easy to find. Here's one link. Which States Have the Most People on Welfare | Social Explorer

You’re right your post is pure BS:

Trends With Benefits - This American Life

The startling rise of the number of people on disability in America.

The above link leads you to a county in a red state to where 1 in 4 is on federal disability.

I take pleasure when Candycorn and his peeps sign "FakeNews" to stuff simply cuz they can't take it. Then again, in Candy's case he's on auto-pilot, unless we're supposed to assume he thinks stuff through?

Nah

They never want to admit or look at the demographics within those red states, that most of the recipients are blacks and other minorities. As if “red states” don’t have blue run cities and huge populations of democrats.

No it didn't, but I looked it up you animal, it's Hale County, Alabama, a town of nearly 15 thousand people

Democracks don't like to talk about blue cities in red States, it's too close to reality.

Well, it’s a county...not a town.

And having 25% of a county being what you call “leeches” is not too good.

Ahh, the race card.

The only card in the MAGA deck.

Not really, I find white lib. democrats to be the most pathetic.

 

[candycorn]

Well, what you find is not important. What the facts show that the red states are heavy users of welfare; usually because they refuse to spend the money themselves.

 

[Greenbeard]

People say that red states are “welfare states” because their federal benefits received exceed their federal tax contributions. They’re net drags on the productive states.

Have you said “thank you” once?

Some wag in an editorial I read recently calls them Neiman Marxists. lol

Agreed. But I’ve been harboring the belief that Candyass is a woman.

Of course, she can’t define that word.

I had never heard that before. Looked it up, I know some, the term nails it too. Always in the hunt for their next pampering, and to step over any stranger to get there, while they preach stuff and stuff like that.

Well, it's not exactly a self-description, but funny you should bring that up IM#2.

You should watch the movie, see how your peeps are doin'. Plus the President is black, and you like that shit.

Progressive cities have had any decades to eliminate poverty. And yet it still exists. They have the luxury of federal largesse along with massive infusions from the state. As an example, New York City has 27 subway/elevated lines or so and near all are from another era. 1932 was the last new construction. With you Progs we should have many more right now. All Prog cities should. The high tax mecca of utopian wonderment is a white elephant of lies. Of course, forcing all citizens in any type of work to contribute y making less money and pensions would help.

That’s a very good quip.

Communism Is Not for Commoners

All hereditary privileges must be abolished. The RichKid Reich practices what they accuse THE JEWS!!! of doing: controlling both the Left and the Right.
