What you'll find is republican states are huge takers, sitting around on the couch all day collecting welfare that the democratic states pay for (also china). Republican states on average get 1.46$ in federal spending for every tax dollar paid, democratic states get 1.16$, and out of the 15 states that pay more than they get, 3/4ths are blue states.

The south, clearly needs to get a job and start making something of themselves.


Dig a little deeper and find out what percentage of the population in those states are REGISTERED voters -- and what percentage turned out. It might be interesting to see why the "south" votes Republican?
