Most of the red states in the USA are taking in quite a bit more federal money than they put out in taxes, and vice versa for the blue states. IE the conservative right wingers are already being provided for, for the greater good. Poor as gently caress people in Kansas don't have anything to lose already.

The fundamental problem isn't left vs right wingers, it is a mass of people who think they'll suddenly be a peasant so that everyone can be a peasant alongside them when in reality it is the top 1% hoarding over half the wealth that exists.



And that graph is a little old iirc, meaning things have become even more skewed.
