The five states with the highest poverty rates are:

  1. Mississippi - 19.6%
  2. Louisiana - 19.0%
  3. New Mexico - 18.2%
  4. Kentucky - 16.3%
  5. Arkansas - 16.2%
 
Yup, and in the meantime inflation is hitting these 10 states the hardest:
 
California
Massachusetts
Oregon
Alaska
Maryland
Connecticut
Rhode Island
Vermont

You forgot Illinois. However Illinois isn't really a blue state, it only turns blue from time to time because of cook county. The rest of the state is mostly agricultural.

I’d take inflation any day of the week over poverty. Keep trying.

ironically I'll be headed to meth county Illinois this weekend. My grams died yesterday at the age of 104. She was probably the hardest working person I have ever known. I dont think I have ever seen her sit idle in my whole life. About 20 years ago she started writing (and published) these stories about her life growing up on a farm in southern Indiana. Ill tell you what, you really feel like a piece of shit complaining about the things we do when you compare to what they had to deal with. RIP grams

It’s weird how all that life experience just gets up and leaves the world. Sorry for the loss. She lived a long time.

She outlived all of her siblings. It was a long life, probably too long. I am happy she is finally at peace. Life experiences tho, yeah, we have lost alot of that with her.

Correct, after the cival war the north's main objective was too keep the south poor, so they could never rise up again. They suceeded.

Right but that does not address the basis of the mans argument. It really is about segregation and a false representation of beliefs by the DNC and the people they have elected and the voters themselves. You can't preach equality and then turn around and make gated communities that exclude all but the wealthy.

In other words. The DNC claims to do something that the GOP doesn’t do.
