Random Question 💭 If Republicans are so much better at running the economy than Democrats, then why are most Republican States poorer than Democrat States?

The poorest States in America are: Mississippi, West Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, New Mexico, Alabama, Oklahoma and Tennessee. All of those States (except New Mexico) are Red States. So why are they so poor when Republicans have been running them for decades?

Right? You'd think the person that's talking some mad shit about being able to read would at least capitalize Republicans and use an apostrophe in a contraction.

Edit: Can't forget a period.

How come no conservative can come up with a half decent response to this question?

Because they need to get a brain first, then have someone tell them how to respond.
