Why Poor States Are Red and Rich States Are Blue ?

[IsaacNewton]

The odd thing is the conservatives in these poor states continue to support a party that keeps them poor. They should at least TRY something else.

But, con-media knows one of the pavlov buttons for these people is their religion, so they forever whine about fake issues like a war on Christianity or a 'war on Christmas'. Everyone I know or meet has said Merry Christmas for the last 50 years. People that don't listen to con-media have no idea about a 'war on Christmas'.

I live in Mass . If we were our own country our students would rank 8th in the world .

The U.S. as a whole ranks far lower cause the dumb red states drag us down .

Don't your good students get 4 years of free state college from a program started by Mitt Romney? The ex-RINO?

You mean blacks and Hispanics drag it down, don't you?

Oh yeah that's what I mean. After all there are NO backs or Hispanics in the northeast ! Lol!

Stupid hillbillies running their states into the ground .

There are far more blacks in the South and far more Hispanics in the South West. If you eliminated these two groups from the statistics, school performance in the these areas would be as good as the rest of the country. Whenever you attack the South, you're attacking blacks and Hispanics, but all you racist Northern leftwing bigots don't want to admit that embarrassing fact, now do you?

The entire foundation of Republican ideology is fear of change. It's quite clear.

Any place that let's 6 inches of snow slow things to a halt is seriously behind...in many aspects.

It's not fear of change. It's really stupid shit because of liberal hand wringers like you who scream "DO SOMETHING!!!" When the best thing you can do is wait.

Same reason why most of western Europe has higher per capita incomes in general!!! States that are well regulated, have good infrastructure, promote education and a good business climate draws high quality people.

The south is a shit hole because government is always evil and they have low standards.

Lemme tell ya something about the south, you arrogant liberal elitist prick. Our public services are BETTER than those high tax states and especially those states where public workers have civil service protections and collective bargaining rights....Where I live, public employees are well aware that they are in service to the public. Not the other way around.
And our communities do not have a need for public employees to fill payrolls. Most services are contracted out to private companies via competitive budding.
Services such as trash collection. Road and street maintenance, Parks and recreational maintenance. etc. are handled by companies in the private sector. Our politicians are not in elected office for a career. In fact they are paid only when the state legislature is in session. The governor is the only elected official that receives a full time salary.
Government of this type is far less labor intensive and thus taxes are much lower..
"because government is always evil"..HA HA....Yer a funny dude...You go off at every opportunity to tout government control of the economy. Your insistence that government doesn't spend enough money. You also insist it government and only government can fix things and make things work...Government is evil?
Oh? Then why is New Jersey for example, losing its most high paying jobs and billions of dollars in wealth to other more tax and business friendly RED states?
Do you ever proofread before you post?

And yet I've seen local governments go from public worker provided services to being privatized, and I've yet to see prices of those services go down. Same as American factories that offshore to low wage countries. Much much lower wages, yet do prices ever crash in those sectors that were off shored?

Why Poor States Are Red and Rich States Are Blue ?

A red person said, whose name is Ferenc Gyurcsány (Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP)) who are a Hungarian entrepreneur and politician. He was the sixth Prime Minister of Republic of Hungary from 2004 to 2009. Prior to that, he served as Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports between 2003 and 2004.

Ferenc Gyurcsány's speech in Balatonőszöd in May 2006:
Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány gave a speech in Balatonőszöd in May 2006 to MSZP (Hungarian Socialist Party) members of the National Assembly of Hungary. This meeting was supposed to be confidential but the Prime Minister's speech was taped and Magyar Rádió (Hungarian Radio) began broadcasting it late afternoon on Sunday September 17, 2006. The speech ignited mass protests around Hungary and rioting in Budapest.


Ferenc Gyurcsány's speech given in Balatonőszöd during May 2006 starts with an approximately one-hour-long overview of the first proposed steps of the new social-liberal government. The whole text of this first part of the speech is available here (only in Hungarian):

English translation of the controversial (second) part of the speech:

"Profane excerpts
Not only the content but also the profanity of the speech has been heavily criticized. In response to the criticism concerning the profanity, Ferenc Gyurcsány stated that "these words were the words of objurgation, passion and love" "

Details in English :
"My personal story is: we must change this fucking country; otherwise who else will?"
"Go to hell with that. Let's move on."
(Note that the original Hungarian phrase is much stronger language than this and has no direct translation in English.)
"There aren't many choices. That is because we have fucked it up. Not just a bit, but much."
"Divine providence, the abundance of cash in the world economy, and hundreds of tricks, which you obviously don't need to know about, helped us survive this situation."
"It is allowed to protest in front of the Parliament. Sooner-or-later they will get bored of it and go home."
"If there is a scandal in the society, then it's the fact that the upper ten thousand reproduce themselves using public money."
"And we should try to take these issues forward, to maintain the cooperation and bona fide between us, to assure the support of the coalition partner [i.e., SZDSZ], to prepare the managers and leading publicists of the most influential newspapers about what they can count on. To involve them in this process."
"No European country has done something as boneheaded as we have. Obviously, we lied throughout the last year-and-a-half, two years."
"And meanwhile, by the way, we've done nothing for four years. Nothing."
"I almost perished because I had to pretend for 18 months that we were governing. Instead, we lied morning, night and evening."
"There are several matters, where I have no clue what the sixth step is; I don't even know the third. I know the first two."

people still pushing that Bs myth around. the people in the Blue states are probably poorer because they pay higher taxes, higher rents, pay to park, pay to breath, pay for everyone who doesn't feel like working on top of working to care for their family and on and on the riches pile up I'm sure. . so boring but they have this need to LABEL people in the country. and for what reason? there isn't any except for one to show their snobbery and ignorance

The Germans weren't afraid of "change" in 1933.

Change isn't always good. There's good reason to fear it, especially when crooks and frauds like Hillary, Bernie and Obama are proposing it.

The excerpts sound just like trump.
