On the Latest Leftist Trope that Red States Couldn't Possibly Survive Without the Beneficence ($$) of the Blue States............and that Because of this Secession Wouldn't Be the Greatest Idea for These Red States

 

 It's a huge oversimplification to say the least. First off they cite the poorest of the red states to make their point (West Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama, etc.) while completely ignoring every blue state that also meets their criteria (New Mexico, Maine, Hawaii, Vermont, etc.). They also fail to point out that when taken as an aggregate the Red States receive only about $1.03 back for every dollar sent to Washington and that the "Red States of America" could easily reject Mississippi, West Virginia, Alabama, etc. as members. Granted, it would destroy their argument, just sayin' that they could.
