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

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."

[refurb]

By "poor rural" areas you mean the people that grow the food you eat?

Yup! That's not an insult, just reality.
