Yep but even within blue and purple states, the poorest areas are often by Republicans. That’s what made the now infamous Romney 47% statement so amazing. While he was losing here in NOVA by a bigger margin than he was statewide, he was winning in the poorest part of the state overwhelmingly.

And even in red states like Texas. Dallas/Houston/San Antonio/Austin pay for most of the rest of the state (not all, I know how much money the north and east part of the DFW suburbs make), and are run by Democratic mayors.
