That's total bullshit. Not even close.
California has the highest poverty rate in the country, and also ranked dead last in quality of life.

They're ALL red states in the South with the exception of New Mexico.
PS - The states with the ten lowest poverty rates are ALL blue states with the exception of Utah. Blue states subsidize the red states. They give more money to the federal government than they receive back. Red states are the exact opposite.
