Yes, there's a piece of it, thanks Lucrum!
Nice! I'll add you. We tend to think alike...

Pick on a person for being stupid / liberal / conservative / a redneck - whatever
Just leave color out of it - no one had a choice what color they were born
Everyone is responsible for the person they are

Yeah, I'm over a decade now. Blood and sweat...
Look at Federal aid (GenRev fund). The 2010 IRS data disputes it and blames it squarely on urban vs. rural demo. Urban areas are in a surplus while rural are in deficit.
Red states were more likely to get a bigger cut of federal spending. Of the 22 states that went to McCain in 2008, 86 percent received more federal spending than they paid in taxes in 2010. In contrast, 55 percent of the states that went to Obama received more federal spending than they paid in taxes. Republican states, on average, received $1.46 in federal spending for every tax dollar paid; Democratic states, on average, received $1.16.
This red-blue split may be partly explained by the difference between urban and rural states. Red states are more likely to be rural, and rural states were more likely to receive more federal spending than they paid in taxes in 2010. Among predominantly rural states, 81 percent received more federal spending than they paid in taxes. In contrast, 44 percent of urban states received more federal spending than they paid in taxes. Rural states, on average, received $1.40 in federal spending for every tax dollar paid; urban states, on average, received $1.10. (Rural states are defined as states whose urban population rate is below the national average of 79 percent.)
So the inner city isn't to blame? How do you reconcile that it's not inner-city blacks?
STC, maybe you can respond in full sentences when you take a break from your "financier" gig and attempting to sell your trading station.

Yeah, I know it's MJ. What GOP site would publish such damning info?
The assertions made in the Mother Jones article below are absurd and have been completely debunked in multiple in-depth studies. Mother Jones is merely playing games with statistics with total disregard for accounting standards involving government expenditures (or in other words - they are totally misapplying amounts to red states that are actually sent to blue states - such as 80% of crop subsidies)
Let's eliminate military base spending, farm subsidies, and other non-welfare federal spending from the accounting.
The red states do not really want the military bases that were forced on them. These bases take up large tracts of land that are useful for other economic purposes and require local money spent on policing & other services because they tend to be high crime / low income areas. Let's put a large military base in NYC or Boston - and bulldoze all the existing homes.
The displaced residents from these blue cities can survive on the 80%+ of large farm subsidies that are sent to the owners of corporate farms who reside in blue states (but is seen as red state money for some reason).
Let's properly focus on federal welfare spending--defined here as childhood nutrition programs, food stamp programs, WIC benefits TANF benefits, and other similar benefits.
This article from USA Today "New Yorkers lead pack in government benefits" compiled data showing which states had the highest per capita expenditures for every type of government-provided benefit and blue states top the list and red states made up most of the bottom 10.

Debunked? Where? Crop subsidies aren't welfare?
