Zeroisanumber posted:You've got a bad political culture built on apathy and good old boy networks that stretch back to Reconstruction (or even further). The best play to break that stranglehold would be to find run locals on a centrist, economy-focused platform after you've spent the previous dozen years building up a volunteer network and voter rolls. HonorableTB posted:Southern states (except for Texas, which isn't really "Southern" per se) take in more Federal tax dollars for aid than they pay back every year To understand the current problems you need to realize that Reconstruction never ended. That is why the chart is the way it is. Southern states get huge amounts of tax dollars from the Fed, this allows them to run with less local tax and offer incentives to businesses to relocate to the South. It also feeds into the Republican core belief that you can have tax less and spend more, because the Feds are footing the bill a disproportionate amount.
