If the Conservative agenda is supposed to be the best path, then why are red states the poorest, and worst educated??

The super rich make areas rich while the common man isn't going to be very rich.
Where do you find the ghettos in the US? In the large cities generally found in liberal states.

Originally posted by sh76The "premise" of my question may indeed be silly, but the facts are not.

Since this seems to have been the case for decades in these states, I continue to ask, is this conservative agenda really the best economic and educational model for our country? I would have to say no.

Those people are failing their community. For them, Detroit is a way to extract money from the masses. These people don't care about the inhabitants of the city.
Notice the word "private" in the link title. People who want to protect private property rights are people who profit from owning immense amounts of land. "Private property" is a phrase that should always put us on guard.
