3. Yeah

But in 10 years poverty in Salt Lake has only grown.

4. Want to see something telling?

Look at the two maps (poverty, and electoral) side by side, and what I notice is that all the most blue sections on the poverty map corresponds with the red on the electoral map. That seems counter intuitive to me, seeing as the repukes are the party of the rich, and dems are the party of the poor and working man. Kinda thought provoking.

5. Bingo... That's what caught my eye too

The repukes are very slick.. they prey on the under educated poor and suck them in just like a hoover.. They fill their heads full of gun-shit,church-shit,abortion-shit,familyvalues-shit, and actually manage to convince them that they can tax-cut their way to riches..

of course after the election, what happens??? not a damned thing.. and they are as poor as they have ever been.. I wish someone who does statistics for a living would analyze the mien income levels vs poverty since the states since they started voting mostly republican.. Of course a lot of them would not be smart enough to understand it..

I would bet that as they have voted more republican, their standard of living and incomes have gone down.. Of course the "sow's ear republicans" then convince them that it's STILL the democrats' fault and they believe it...Why??? Because Rush and Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson tell them so..

:grr:

It always comes back to M E D I A ...
