I read most of that link and I got a couple of things from it. It cost more to live in blue states due to the social programs therefore causing more poverty. Blacks migrated north out of the south taking poverty with them therefore it's us racist southerners fault.
....and then there was this.
2010 saw a rather general resurgence of poverty – related certainly to globalization and industrial off shoring, deindustrialization in the old northeastern core, and greater poverty across the southern tier from CA to FL, in part related to heavy immigration from Latin America. Some of this shift could, in my opinion, be pegged as well to the shift to more conservative Republican Party rule.
Yep, if it ain't Bushes fault then it's republicans fault that illegal aliens are here and in poverty.
