B402, See there, no hint of desire from you to support those in Congress, or running for Congress, who most work toward those things you profess to support. Like tax regimes - see my latest post on that ..
Forty-four of 50 US states worsen inequality with ‘upside-down’ taxes
"Tougher on Trump the better, and - US election 2024: Where Biden and Trump stand on key issues "Biden Takes the Gloves Off to Tear Into ‘Convicted Felon’ Trump" [...] Taxes President Biden supports raising the corporate income tax rate to 28%, bringing it closer to the 35% rate that prevailed prior to Mr Trump's term. He has also proposed imposing higher tax rates on the wealthiest Americans, cracking down on tax avoidance, and expanding tax credits for low earners and families. He recently escalated Trump-imposed tariffs on China, including a 100 percent tax on its electric vehicles. P - Mr Trump is pledging across-the-board tax cuts if he returns to office, in part by prolonging soon-to-expire income tax cuts, along with estate and wealth tax breaks, from legislation he signed in 2017. He will maintain the corporate income tax rate at 21% and proposes a universal 10% tariff on all US imports, and a 60% tariff on imports from China."
And you say IF.... you would vote Republican. Stuck in ideology, forever a whinger who will not vote for those most working to do what you say should be done. There are words for people like you.
However the hard data, NOT opinion, show high WV dependency on the Federal gov, low GDP and generally low rankings for the economy, health & education, suggesting that their votes for the GOP are just another version of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Dems opinion of this state and their stereotypes of it, are without merit....
WalletHub looked into how federally dependent each state is by examining two dimensions: State Residents’ Dependency and State Government’s Dependency. According to their study, West Virginia is the second most federally dependent state in the U.S., just behind Alaska.
Another noteworthy finding is that West Virginia is also ranked 49 in Gross Domestic Product (per Capita), above Mississippi.
