- matchbok 8y agoIt is correct that, as a whole, blue states are wealthier, stronger, and healthier. We pay more per-person in taxes whereas most red states consume more federal dollars.
- joejerryronnie 8y agoBlue states have a higher ceiling (i.e. wealthier but more income inequality) while red states have a higher floor (i.e. poorer but less income inequality). Maybe we need more purple states. It's hard to strike the right balance between social liberalism and fiscal conservatism. Edit: After looking at the stats, it appears that income inequality is generally higher across the Southern US than the Northern US, with CA and NY as notable exceptions. Income inequality is growing fastest in the Western and Midwestern US.
