Are the 10 Poorest U.S. States Really Republican?

"The poorest states, based on per capita income, are, from first to last: Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, West Virginia, Louisiana, Montana, South Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, and North Carolina. Of these, exactly half—Arkansas, Kentucky, Montana, North Carolina, and West Virginia—have Democratic governors and three have Democratic majorities in the lower house of their legislature, so these state governments can hardly be classified as completely Republican. On the other hand, only North Carolina voted for Obama in 2008, so in that sense, these states may be leaning Republican."

RICH MEN, POOR MEN

The rich states were rich before year 2000. Since then, the middle class has been moving from the rich states to the growing states.
They vote with their feet.

Have you noticed the fastest-growing states all have Republican governors?

Obamanomics -- Women, Minorities & the Poor Hardest Hit

Those who were the most likely to vote for Obama in 2012 were members of the demographic groups that were hit with the largest income declines and highest jobless rates.

The income of black heads-of-households dropped by 10.9 percent from June 2009 to June 2013. This decline in black income is more than double the overall 4.4 percent drop nationally in real, adjusted for inflation, median household income during the same four years of alleged “recovery.”

Similarly, real incomes of those under age 25 fell by 9.6 percent over the same period — again, more than double the average drop in household income.

Income in households headed by single women, with or without children, declined by approximately 7 percent over the same four years, a significantly higher drop than the national average

Obamanomics -- Women, Minorities & the Poor Hardest Hit

California -- Billionaires, Serfs & Inequality

Call it "liberal apartheid,” a sharp divide between a well-heeled, mostly white and Asian population located along the California coast, and a largely poor, heavily Latino working class in the interior.

California has become increasingly feudal. According to recent census estimates, the state suffers some of the highest levels of inequality in the country. By some estimates, the state’s level of inequality compares with that of such global models as the Dominican Republic, Gambia, and the Republic of the Congo.

At the same time, the Golden State now suffers the highest level of poverty in the country—23.5 percent compared to 16 percent nationally—worse than long-term hard luck cases like Mississippi. It is also now home to roughly one-third of the nation’s welfare recipients, almost three times its proportion of the nation’s population.

California produces more new billionaires than any place this side of oligarchic Russia or crony capitalist China. By some estimates the Golden State is home to one out of every nine of the world’s billionaires. In 2011 the state was home to 90 billionaires, 20 more than second place New York and more than twice as many as booming Texas.

The state’s digital oligarchy, surely without intention, is increasingly driving the state’s lurch towards feudalism. Silicon Valley’s wealth reflects the fortunes of a handful of companies that dominate an information economy that itself is increasingly oligopolistic. In contrast to the traditionally conservative or libertarian ethos of the entrepreneurial class, the oligarchy is increasingly allied with the nominally populist Democratic Party and its regulatory agenda. Along with the public sector, Hollywood, and their media claque, they present California as “the spiritual inspiration” for modern “progressives” across the country.

Rich People Love Diversity, Until They Have Kids

A new analysis of census data shows that wealthy people with kids are now twice as likely to segregate themselves from the poor than they were in the 1970s. Conversely, poor families now cluster together as well.

Busing is a thing of the past, and Americans have spent the last 40 years sorting themselves into more homogeneous neighborhoods. Strategic zoning and restrictions on construction have also helped this segregation along. Slate contributor Dana Goldstein pointed out in a post about “Hipsturbia” (the nickname the New York Times has given to hip, wealthy suburban New York towns) that those affluent towns have stayed so uniformly affluent because they deliberately exclude affordable housing.
