@@themaestro3034 actually Mississippi gave millions to Brett Farve
Idk if the people are hungry bc this same list of states are also the fattest states. But yeah they are poor.

I’d rather be poor in Mississippi than homeless in California
I would rather be dead in California that living in Mississippi. Sh*tty place and people.
Beacuse all the homeless people went to the cali. Free food free drug and 800 $ criminal law

@@xiufengjin7321 Ohh, yeah...they flew there 1st class from where they were 😅😂🤣
Shit I’m poor and I love California lol
I remember my dad telling me me when I was a kid you haven’t seen poverty till you go down south. My dad was in the military and traveled all over the country
As a former US Marine who has been stationed all over US, your father is spot on.

True, although the rural Northwest rivals Appalachia in terms of poverty.
@@user-gv4mi9cd2y Rural nw folks can spell. Many rural southerners can't even talk.
Keep voting in the same kind of leaders is insanity. Because your expecting a different result. Makes no sense.
It definitely makes no sense. But it obviously is never gonna change in these states. It's really sad, but at the same time it's the people's own fault.
Just say what it is. These are all Red states.
Boy howdy! Hayseed all these states but 1 went RED long ago. So while I'm guess U want them to go 🔵. It's the dirty south! Never been? Go on & explore em'all. They've had a "wheel in ditch & wheel on the ground!" Since post re construction. But maybe your new here in US & had NO US history classes to pass...lol
LuLz, makes perfect sense considering over 50% of ‘the poor’ in these States are black and they make up over 20% of the population. So it makes sense if you’re not a black constituent. If you are and still vote Democrat, well, that’s why you make up over 50% of that % of poor stat. But hey, that was an excellent NPC response.
Mississippi has been a Democrat state for 150 years until 6 years ago.
That Tennessee clip is Kensington Street in Philly, known by its overhead train trestles and horrifying meth traffic. It’s the Skid Row of the east coast.
Yup!
Red states again ... keep sucking off the taxpayer dollars in the blue states. Keep voting for Trump and the rest of the GOP losers and things will never get better.
Kensington Avenue, K & A, the intersection of Kensington Avenue and Allegheny Avenue Neighborhood known as/ called Kensington. Heroin, meth , cocaine, whatever those poor bastards can get their hands on.
98% of them started with weed.
Yes. They dont have elevated trains i. Tennessee.
Right?!? If you’re gonna post the state at least match the vid. Tennessee is awesome btw I moved here from Canada ten years ago. I love the people!
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Trickle Down Economics".
All but one (New Mexico) are red states. I don't understand why voters of these states vote against their own interest. I heard a guy in Mississippi who said "I would rather live in poverty as a Republican than live well as a Democrat." I was scratching my head when I heard that.
Damn. That's sad.
You don't understand it? Look at California. It's not on this list, but the streets of cali looks 10× worse than any of the clips I've seen of kentucky or wedt virginia.

It’s weird how the poorest states don’t have homelessness problems like the rich states.
They all took the Greyhound to: California
😂😂😂😂
If you were homeless wouldn't you go somewhere to try and avoid the winter as much as possible? That's going to naturally cause a movement of people to those areas just by itself. So then the places getting the most homeless from all over the country start instituting programs to try and help the homeless, which causes more to come. It's a vicious cycle.
FALSE. .rich states have more shelters and safety net programs...but you can't Force people to stay in shelters
Rich states also are paying for the homeless in poor states.
Hardly anyone there
And people from those states have the nerve to talk down on California ☠️
California has the 4th highest economy in the world as well as a 91 billion dollar surplus 😁
yeah but who *doesn't* talk down on California? It's trash 🗑 sorry, the -people- are trash, I'm sure the land is beautiful

Same states want to decide the laws in the states that subsidize their existence
Right? Its absolute madness
All these states helped get a 6 to 3 majority on the SCOTUS and made abortion nearly illegal in their status so woman have to get to a Democratic state for 21st century health care
Exactly! They want the whole country to look like this.
West Virginia and Kentucky subsidized the entire country with coal until the democrats waged war on fossil fuels!
Im not surprised my state of Oklahoma made the list. Just out driving today, the amount of homeless was disgusting. They are all over the place. There are camps everywhere! Our utilities have just jumped by 40% and they are asking for more. The current governor is a crook. Hes been banned in at least 2 states. I cant believe that he was re elected ! I cant even imagine the state of the other states that ranked higher than Oklahoma!
That's sad
Oh please I live here there’s on 1000 homeless and okla not that poor 🤣😂😂it cheaper here where these homeless at exactly for miles s at cause I’ve see a few most our come from somewhere else gere they chose that crap 💩 they have place to go lol at trying make people think Oklahoma as nasty as a democrat city it not lol .

Those are all Republican States, Republican Republican You get what you vote for.
The people living in these houses are voting Democrat.
It's funny how you say that, but look at California it's Democrat ran and people as well as business are moving out. Ironically they're going to red states they're not going to blue but, you fail to realize that.
Notice they are all Republican state
I believe the Dem states have the most homelessness. None of these stats are worth bragging about.
However, people will need to work themselves out of poverty, through schooling and hard work. lots of folks are poor because they prefer gov't handouts.
Or there are people like me who are disabled and cannot work. You cannot simply assume, especially coming from a privalaged position in life, that all homeless people are just lazy and refuse to work. No matter how hard I try, basic human needs will always be luxuries. It doesn't matter how much I try to work, I will never be able to.
A lot of mental issues. Not everyone is fit to work with the general public.@@stephenc2481
Huge majority of democratic blacks are in the south
um actually new mexico is blue
you have to ask yourself, why is income so low in those states. where did the income producing jobs go. no one holds big businesses accountable for shifting manufacturing and jobs to China and Mexico raising their standard of life and killing the standard of life in the US. Presidents and Congress keeps rewarding these companies with Bailouts, Tax breaks and incentives but not stipulating that they invest in American jobs and manufacturing.
People in Illinois holding their breath the whole time
We aren't holding our breath.... With Chicago Metro we can't be on that list.
I was holding for about 4 seconds. I then realized I didn't know anyone without their own home. I also realized I didn't know anyone who was unemployed.

Yes go figure! Seems like the southern states all are.the lowest paid and the poorest.
@@dougjones7609 must be all that white privilege the left keeps talking about.
Cost of living is cheaper which means you can make less money and still live comfortably. It's why it may be "poorer" but has way less homeless than blue states.
And … it is still better than most big cities the south is the best part of the us
If politicians didn't get paid until the people were able to see exact positive change in their cities and communities
As Republicans like to say you get what you vote for 😮
The vast majority of the poverty is packed into deep blue cities, run by democrats.
Anyone know if there has ever been any in depth analysis on why the poorest states are the in the South, and also ran by conservative governors and conservative Senate/House of Representatives?
Most of these states got screwed over by bad federal policies that let companies move their factories to other countries, or by shutting down mining operations like what happened in West Virginia. So many jobs were lost, and people left. There's not much any governor can do if the state is just not giving any reasons for people to move into. Most of the cities in these southern states are run by democrats btw, so it just doesn't matter who's in charge there if the money is not coming in.
Warmer & cheaper is stereotypically "a destination"
I prefer all four seasons full blast. And trees.

These 10 states should not have any senators or reps.what would they have to lose
Was surprised to hear that Baton Rouge has a higher (per capita) rate of crime than Philadelphia and NYC.
Not all that surprising. The crime rate skyrocketed after hurricane Katrina. Many of those people never went back to NO.
Almost every city in red states has higher crime rates than in any blue states, including NYC and Chicago. The gop has been lying about crime rates for years.
Per capita. Population size is why some numbers seem bigger and some smaller than you'd think.
Because some of the questionable news channels seem to be hyper focused for no apparent reason. Maybe Ron Desantis should take care of Miami since it has a higher crime rate than New York City
nyc doesn't have a high crime rate it just puts all its crime on the news just bc you see something more on the internet doesn't mean its as bad remember they control what youu see they don't show the actual stats they just copy paste the same story and call it a day
Along with NM that's the "Solid South" and "Southern Pride"????
That's not Tennessee, btw, that's Kensington in Philadelphia.
Pretty much ALL of the South.
All southern? Hmm,why is that?
There are so many people on the planet that would love to live in these "poor" states. Wow!
The government of the usa only spend money on illegal immigrants and war, thats why cant develop. Some leaders cant see beyond there nose.
All Republican….
These seem to be all the red states?
They want to make the rest country poor too
With all that aid sent overseas we could be building microchip foundries in Mississippi.
Those governors and congress people should be charged with fraud. Maybe they should do their jobs instead of harassing the LGBTQ+ and trans communities and banning literature.
Who would have thought having a less than third world education system would result in uneducated poverty
These states seem to be satisfied as long as they vote in who they want, an that person leave them alone. I never understood that. I live in Miss. But I want govt to do it's job.

I grew up in East Texas, which is culturally part of the south. The rich in my small town had preachers who told them poverty is god's will, just like their wealth. SMH
Had many "chirstians" tell me that God will "save me" from my horrible crippling disabilities. I'm still here and still waiting as of 4 years.
I'm just as happy poor as anyone is rich. It's not your bank account, it's your state of mind that matters. When this nation cracks soon, I won't be the one throwing myself off a bridge because I lost all my wealth and my electricity isn't working. I'll just lay back in these mountains and eat like a king. Thank you from West Virginia.
That attitude is precisely why your city is in the predicament it is. Your laid back attitude about the decay of your home.
@@Findaway2day keep thinking that because we don't really care what you think anyway. You're opinion is worth dick to me. What makes me happy might not be what makes you happy and that's quite alright by me. What are you going to do when the power grid goes down? Cheerio Roberta.

Lived in #10 (TN) in 2006, was born in #8 (OK) and lived in #6 (AR) in 2019. I liked OK, but was young (birth to age 8) when I lived there.
Didn’t care for the cities that I lived in in TN or AR though, so I requested job transfers when I lived in those 2 states. I lived in the one of the worst parts of Memphis and lived in Van Buren, AR. Both were very bad experiences. NW AR is nice tho.

@@markpaperhanger2481 greed, and narcissism
Mississippi went from the richest state per capita before the War Between the States to the poorest. An already weakened economy had to deal with the previous actions of Yankees like Sherman and thousands of former slaves and poor whites and the ignorance it created. This was topped off with Carpet Baggers and Scalawags. Mississippi still suffers from it's past.
@@albertbryan7132 It doesn't suffer from its past. Truely the way out is education but the state government will not allow the people to become educated.

I hope you don't think that's Shade or anything like that! I can't imagine living in those 10 states. They are not just the poorest states. Education, social programs, medical. All bottom of the barrel.
then why are the red states taking the most federal assistance money? ohhhhhh
Im in Mississippi this is almost accurate, i believe the percentage should be higher to be honest. Its more like 30%. So many people just live off grid completely.

States conservatives politicians mismanaged State revenues
I'm a Conservative Independent. I moved to the Conservative State of Alabama in the mid-1980's. During that time, the State was constantly seesawing between being a Democrat State and a Republican State, until it seems to have stabilized as a Republican State. Both parties here had State governors that got into trouble with the law because they were mismanaging State revenues. Republican Governors, Guy Hunt and Robert Bentley, and Democrat Governor, Don Siegelman, were three who were prosecuted for such.
@@laurie7689 conservatives are all on the same page 📄: white conservatives democrats, white conservatives republicans vote the same way!

@@Loveamericasave What have conservative Republicans done for your community?
@@andrewbennett6954 Trying their darndest to secure the southern borders and stop all these illegal immigrants from coming into America is doing a lot for my communities whats left of them because illegal immigration devastates the poor black Americans even further, they're fighting against abortions by Saving black lives, they're making laws that will force people to get off their lazy butts and go to work like the rest of us, their values are more in line with what I believe in they're fighting against this transgender takeover
So almost all southern states on the east coast pretty much. Kinda odd how North Carolina didn’t make the list tho.
North Carolina ain't that poor. They're probably right in the middle with income or slightly above average.

Billionaires Today should pay 59% in Taxes, Do your homework. High tax rates on the wealthy stabilizes the economy and grows the middle class. In 1921 the tax bracket for the wealthy was at 73%. In 1924 it was lowered to 43%. In 1925 it was lowered again to 25%. From 1925 to 1929 the economy boomed as the roaring 20's were in their heyday. In 1929 the stock market crashed sending the country into the Great Depression. Starting in 1936 the rates started back up. At the end of WWII the top bracket was raised to 94%. The country was still broke when we entered the war. In order to pay off the debt, the wealthy we're taxed at 94%. That number stayed in
Place until 1965. The 50's and 60's were the most economically prosperous times in the history of our nation. In 1965 the rate was lowered to 73% and has been on the decline every since. So has our economy. We have lost the middle class. We have a small wealthy sector with a stranglehold on the economy and a growing impoverished sector. The wealthy make more than they can spend. What they do spend goes to high end luxury items and very little trickles back into the mainstream economy. The rest of their wealth is horded in banks, many of them in foreign countries. A hedge fund with 25 members made a billion dollars per member last year. At a tax rate of 90% they would have made 100,000,000 a hundred million. Get it? The profits for the wealthiest Americans are huge. When profits are that easy there is no need to work harder to increase profit margins. No need to grow a company, expand, hire more people. The economy CAN grow with high taxes on the wealthy. It is actually healthy for the economy. It keeps tax dollars in circulation. It grows the middle class. It gives the people faith in democracy because it limits corruption in politics. Reaganomics lowered taxes further. Bush started two wars and lowered taxes on the wealthy even further. Do your homework America. You don't have to be a Democrat. You don't have to like the President. Don't be fooled by anymore of Republican logic that will further divide the country into two classes, very wealthy and very poor. Clinton raised taxes on the wealthy and cleared the deficit. It works. History is our guideline for a better tomorrow. Do your homework. Google the history of tax rates in America. The wealthy can afford the cuts. When people are able to find jobs again spending will go down. Cut the military budget first. The wealthy made huge profits off of our two most recent wars. Those profits are tax dollars that they are sitting on and paid very little tax on thanks to the Bush tax cuts. Raise the high end taxes back up to 94%. That's how we paid for WWII and the economy prospered!
That's just silly
Youre smoking that good shit 😂
Look to the federal reserve and also the cantillon effect for answers. Those high tax rates take take away the incentive for innovation. Take away all the loopholes is more like it.
David you are correct but you have to let people know that those are marginal tax rates. The rich paid a 90% marginal tax rate in the 1950s. That is a fact!
Thanks David. Facts that need to be repeated. You understand economic history. History that the right-wingers like Nick Johnson lack the education to understand.
The number one industry in Mississippi is agriculture and they have the highest percentage of people with food insecurities. Profit over people. The goods are exported.
Those states have the most violence too surprisingly not heard about.
Not true.
False
@@bradc6199 It is absolutely true. Just research states with the highest crime rates per capita.
@Gingerhannah23 not that straight forward. Their crime is more pronounced due to lower numbers of population. Large cities are far more dangerous, but their overall numbers statewide are lower due to the population size. No way it's more dangerous to live in Mississippi than LA or Chicago or Philly. Those cities have safe areas and other areas that you dont go through unless you live there. I've lived in Mississippi and Louisiana. Both have safe areas both have high crime areas. Usually the high crime areas are controlled by the Democrats, while the countryside is controlled by Republicans. These states vote red to keep crime out of the countryside. It has worked in the past but now, poverty and crime are being exported to the countryside. We haven't seen the worst of it yet.
