Well, when I break down the top 25 welfare rat cities, by red or blue state, I get 12 blue cities, 12 red, and 1 purple(NJ).
If poverty can be solved by boot strap picker-upperering, then why isn't this list all blue?
Perhaps though, instead of partisanship, we should be asking why 1 in 5 people throughout the country, are on food stamps.
