I mean red states are more rural which alone would account for more subsidies.

But regardless, seems like you’re all for redistribution of wealth unless it goes to the political “undesirable”?

You just made a great argument against redistribution - it’s too fraught with politics.

Yeah, duh, that's their point.

We are strong as a country because our wealthy, dense state economies support our poorer, rural state economies; and that's why it's laughable when red-state citizens and politians rant about seceding from the "evil communist blue states."

By "poor rural" areas you mean the people that grow the food you eat?
Yup! That's not an insult, just reality.
