What is significantly different now is the speed with which communications (true and untrue) can be generated, delivered and disseminated.

Exaggerated by the dumbing down of America, the lowering of standards for just about anything and the degeneration of our moral core values.

All combined make for a very gullible, me too, where's mine, pied piper like followers who have not contributed to the society from which they think they are owed something for nothing.

BECAUSE of the "Civil Rights" laws that FORCE these lowering of standards and quotas. They also FORCED us to accept their inferior "culture" and it's now replacing ours...because THEY are REPLACING us. They are breeding us out.

Red States — the ones governed by folks who think government is too big and spending needs to be cut — are a net drain on the economy, taking in more federal spending than they pay out in federal taxes. They talk a good game, but stick Blue States with the bill. For every dollar taken in taxes, this is how much those "rugged individuals" in Republican states suck from the federal teat:
Mississippi: $2.02
Alaska: $1.84
Louisiana: $1.78
West Virginia: $1.76
North Dakota: $1.68
Alabama: $1.66
South Dakota: $1.53
Kentucky: $1.51
Virginia: $1.51
Montana: $1.47
Hawaii: $1.44
Maine: $1.41
Arkansas: $1.41
Oklahoma: $1.36
South Carolina: $1.35
Missouri: $1.32
Maryland: $1.30
Tennessee: $1.27
Idaho: $1.21
Why it's almost like there's a pattern here or something.

It's understandable why the 'Red States' you listed have more people on the welfare rolls. They have large minority populations that would likely vote for Democrats if they weren't too lazy to get out and vote. Since they don't vote, Republicans get elected by those hard-working Americans that do vote.

That's a fact.
