And they are parasitic in many ways, including living off the Federal dole in excess of what they contribute in funds to the federal budget far more than is the case for Blue states. We have been picking up the tab for these states full of lunkhead repub voters more worried about whether someone in a "lower" status than they perceive themselves is going to make progress rather than even their own actual interests. Never mind what is good for their community and the country overall.
