[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rural areas [b]favor self-reliance[/b] because of their isolation, and that translates to [b]disliking government interference[/b]. In the cities people need to live cooperatively and they understand ways that government structures can help them. Over time people have moved to areas that favor their lifestyle and share their beliefs, so the country has become more polarized.[/quote] Ah, yes, the vaunted rural self-reliance of farm subsidies adding on average $17.6 BILLION EACH YEAR to farm incomes, adjusted for inflation. The FEMA bailouts from tornado disasters. The well-established flow of blue states bailing out the debts of red states. Oh yeah, sure. https://usafacts.org/articles/federal-farm-subsidies-what-data-says/ https://time.com/7222411/blue-states-are-bailing-out-red-states/ https://apnews.com/article/north-america-business-local-taxes-ap-top-news-politics-2f83c72de1bd440d92cdbc0d3b6bc08c[/quote]
