[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1059482, member: 42691"] Yet it doesn't buy their votes. This is why Democrats never understood how so many poor people vote against their economic interests. I remember a front page newspaper article here in Missouri back in 2004, when we elected a Republican governor. The article was about poor, rural white voters who voted with the GOP because of the pro-life and lower taxes promised by this governor. First thing he did when he was sworn in was start cutting programs designed for poorer populations. These people just couldn't believe--EGADS!!--that their favorite governor would do such thing to them. Programs like Medicaid, WIC programs, Early Start, Daycare assistance, etc. I'm not sure about your history regarding the National Income Tax, unless you remember that back in 1913. That would make you one of the oldest members on this forum. This was the 16TH Amendment to the Constitution, and it nothing to do with Southern Dixiecrats. In 1913, just what Socialist programs are you referring to? Do a simple Google search to straighten out your facts. Also, your argument can be made in the opposite direction too. Some of those blue states lean red. And every state you mentioned except Colorado has a GOP governor, and six of those blue states have Republican controlled state assemblies. [/QUOTE]
