We're more about living life than making money?

Many more blacks live In the south and their overall wealth is lower than that of whites.

High number of uninformed uneducated democratic voters

Oh yes, some good ole' blue policies would be the perfect remedy
It's not a loaded question. I'm honestly wondering.

well alot of the welfare recipients are comfortable on welfare (hell I know some that make over 60K/year for sitting on their arse and having kids) so they don't want to work to make more money. Second horrible education system because of generations of welfare.

You've got a point. I lived in La. for 31 years and it was blue when I left, now it's red. Been in Ark. for 31 years and it was true blue when I got here but over the last 8-10 years it has also gone lite red.

How much poorer are the southern states?

Part of the problem is that the left wing has taken control of the Democratic party.

There are plenty of poor whites in the south.

Could it be that they don't make much of anything?
I mean, Texas has a great economy... yet they still have a high level of poor folks.

I'd have to say that the Civil War didn't help

But wouldn't conservative policy have brought people up?

If you remove the career dependents out of the equation and figure in cost of living --- is the south that much poorer?
