Here’s a list of the ten poorest states.

50) Mississippi—Voted McCain
49) West Virginia—Voted McCain
48) Arkansas—Voted McCain
47) Kentucky—Voted McCain
46) Alabama—Voted McCain
45) Oklahoma—Voted McCain
44) New Mexico—Voted Obama
43) Tennessee—Voted McCain
42) Montana—Voted McCain
41) Louisiana—Voted McCain
40) South Carolina—Voted McCain

Can anyone explain this to me? And why is it now all of the sudden FOX News seems to come out on the side of actually PAYING taxes, with news that 47% of the American public didn’t pay Federal Income Taxes last year, because they didn’t make enough money? They’re positively fuming over there.

The rich blue states pay the highest taxes, so they are doing some wealth redistribution to help the red states that bitch about wealth redistribution. The red states should just refuse the feds money on principle.
