The money spent by public assistance recipients is apparently counted in the statistics you are citing, skewing results and reasonable conclusions. The following is a map of the 2018 map showing results by precinct. While the 2018 map is not the 2016 or 2020 Presidential map, it may be reasonable for them to look similar. In 2020, Biden won even less precincts than Hillary, making the 2020 election map by precincts, when it finally finished and comes out, even more stark to the detriment of Democrats: https://static01.nyt.com/images/201...inctMapLN-superJumbo.png?quality=90&auto=webp No wonder you like to post voting results by county. The results look better because precincts won by Republicans are obscured. Public assistant recipients, ex-felons, minorities, and major city dwelling apartment renters overwhelmingly vote Democrat. After taking consideration for those voters, whose left? Again, the most productive voters are home owning employed Conservatives who are not easily taken in by Leftist propaganda.
Tax rate per capita times population are called tax receipts. Tax receipts divided by population are taxes paid per capita. Let’s run the math for the top 4 using your tax revenue figures and by state population figures: 1 1 California population, 39,368,078. Taxes per capita, $4974. 2 2 Texas Population, 29,360,759. Taxes per capita, $2157. 3 4 Florida Population, 21,733,312. Taxes per capita, $2061 4 3 New York Population, 19,336,776. Taxes per capita, $4738. The figures below include population changes and other things, but no taxes per capita calculations. 5 6 Pennsylvania 12,783,254 12,702,379 0.6% +80,875 18 4.14% 639,163 710,181 705,688 3.84% 4.06% –0.22% 3.72% 6 5 Illinois 12,587,530 12,830,632 –1.9% –243,102 18 4.14% 629,377 699,307 712,813 3.78% 4.10% –0.32% 3.72% 7 7 Ohio 11,693,217 11,536,504 1.4% +156,713 16 3.68% 649,623 730,826 721,032 3.51% 3.69% –0.18% 3.35% 8 9 Georgia 10,710,017 9,687,653 10.6% +1,022,364 14 3.22% 669,376 765,001 691,975 3.22% 3.10% 0.12% 2.97% 9 10 North Carolina 10,600,823 9,535,483 11.2% +1,065,340 13 2.99% 706,722 815,448 733,499 3.18% 3.05% 0.13% 2.79% 10 8 Michigan 9,966,555 9,883,640 0.8% The population figures were obtained from wikipedia.org and partially reformatted above. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_and_territories_of_the_United_States_by_population Of note, most of the higher tax burden states have lower, sometimes negative, such as New York State, population growth. Even more notably, the ones with the higher tax burdens are more likely to change their domicile state to a lower tax state, increasing potential tax burdens for those that remain. I wonder how crime rates compare between Blue and Red states? Rhetorical question. The underlying point is Democrat policies tend to push away the productive, creating long term economic hardship for those that remain. Many inner cities used to be the economic center of a city. After a few decades of Democrat policies, once productive areas are now in ruins. Hopefully, the Biden Administration will not repeat the mistakes of the past and will be a President for all of us. If wondering what to do, the Biden Administration should lean on their beloved big tech friends and ask AI for some answers. AI’s answer will likely come up with “Vote Republican”.
Yet the so called productive aren't moving to rural Mississippi ,Alabama and other shit hole areas that vote republican. The productive vote for Dems increased from Hillarys 64% in 2016 to Bidens 70% in 2020. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/latest-updates-biden-trump-election-2020/card/32vHNFTTc2xxNr7NITHY Their work shows an increasing divide between a high-output, Democratic-leaning part of the nation and a lower-output, Republican-leaning set of communities. In 2016, Brookings analysts found, Democrat Hillary Clinton won counties accounting for 64% of economic output, compared with Mr. Biden’s 70% share. Mr. Trump in 2016 won counties accounting for 36% of economic output, compared with his share of under 30% this year.
The Democrats did not get anywhere near 70% of the vote and what do ex-felons and public assistance recipients produce again? By the way, an interesting metric to consider is per capita tax burden of working class people in Blue states versus Red States, instead of using per capita for the entire state’s population. After all, those on public assistance shouldn't be included in the per capita tax burden figures, right? Further, I wonder what the ratio of public assistant to total government outlays compares in Blue versus Red states. Blue states with higher public assistance payouts tend to attract those, both foreign and domestic, who may be looking for the best payouts, like some members of my own family have done. So there it is, Democrat policies redirect wealth from earners to non-earners, increasingly chasing away the earners while attracting to non-earners and increasing the need to raise taxes even more. Relative population growth in high population Blue states versus Red states tell the story, with Red states on average significantly outperforming Blue states. It is any wonder why Democrat policies fail in the long term? Democrats may be able to buy votes using public money, but for those that remain under their governance, it could be the most expensive, long term decision they make.
They dont,which is why the biggest economic states and cites and federal government revenue come from blue states and blue cities.That is an undisputed fact no matter how much you want to bullshit around it.
Going to democrat run cities like Houston,Atlanta,Dallas etc.People aren't moving to confederate state republican run shit hole rural Trump supporting areas.
