Most red states would be third world countries without fiscal transfers and technological spillovers from blue states. There ain't much doubt about that. Hold them up as superior to blue states all you want. But it won't change that sad fact.

If I were as unwilling to answer direct questions about direct situations as you were, I'd be embarrassed enough to look at my process.

If you believe in it, tell me why it's so great.

I could answer any question you want. California has many failings. With respect to homelessness, housing regulations, education, etc. So does every blue state. But public policies in blue states generate far superior outcomes than what we see in red states. So find all the flaws you want in blue states. Thangs are simply better in those states than red states. And the explanation has much more to do with policy than the excuses y'all offer about luck, weather, demographics, etc.

And yes "low tax" is a brand. Funded by very generous federal transfers.

It is also a trap. It leads to poor provision of very basic public goods and ensures that those states will remain the mediocrities that they are.

"I could answer any question you want"

"california has many failings"

"things are simply better in those states than red states"

1. didn't answer the question I asked

2. broad sweeping dismal to move on to the talking point you want

3. simply better in thangs like homelessness, poverty, tax burden, cost of living, unemployment rate, projected economic growth, budget shortfalls.

other than that...
