That's just what they tell you. They've been conned by Trump like a lot of blue collar Americans. Not surprised in TN. Didn't you idiots put Bush in the White House? Why did you vote against your own boy Gore? Seems like Tennesseeans have been stupid for over 20 years at least. Just like all the people in the other red states. Poor as shit but duped with god, gays guns and racism.

Hard working but don't get paid for shit.
Tennessee ranks
41st in Poverty Rate at 16.7%(poverty rankings by state). The Poverty Rate of Tennessee is moderately higher than the national average of 14.6%.
Meanwhile, the official poverty rate fell to
13.9% — down 1.4 points from 2018 — and child poverty fell 2.6 points to 16.8% (Figures 3 and 4). (1) These trends unfolded as earnings grew at nearly every level of education over the last decade — especially among Tennesseans with the least education.
Sounds like you guys did better under Obama.
