What makes you think those "Red States" are not full of liberal/democrats as well?

Lead by Bernie Sanders and newly annointed congresswomen cortez promote socialism. They promote state funded healthcare, education and housing at the expense of the tax payer. Today it has come to light why Cortez supports state funded housing and education.

Medicare, Medicaid, section 8 housing.  All of which predate even Sanders' political career.  The ACA is also pretty socialistic as well.  I'm fine with all of it.
And we also have a tax code that is basically welfare for big corporations.

don't have a pot to piss in that want the government to give them everything for free.  its interesting how many reach middle age and a million dollars of net worth who switch to Republican.  There is an epiphany that comes with having assets that makes you realize you worked hard for what you have and you don't want Democrats taking it away from you and giving it to illegals who can't legally work in the US, so they MUST be on the government dole.  Shameful.  

For starters there's George Soros and Tom Steyer, among many others.
And then there's me.  I easily meet your qualifications of age and means but I'm still a pretty liberal Democrat.  Just ask your pal GaGa.  He can confirm that I actually EXCEED your age range. LOL
As for "illegals who can't legally work in the US, so they MUST be on the government dole," that is simply not reality.  Most illegals work, pay taxes and don't take government money because they're afraid signing up will tip off ICE.  That's just reality.
A 2007 review of the academic literature by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that "over the past two decades, most efforts to estimate the fiscal impact of immigration in the United States have concluded that, in aggregate and over the long term, tax revenues of all types generated by immigrants—both legal and unauthorized—exceed the cost of the services they use."

So another day and you are still lost. If you want to complain about welfare. Just look at your fellow Trump supporters in red states. It does not matter whether it's taxes for the rich or food stamps.

The GOP party and their supporters are the real welfare takers in this country!

A meaningless chart because of the way it is framed.  If you're going to measure things like this, it should be per person, not per dollar.  Naturally, the more populous states are always going to contribute more, with but a few exceptions.  There are other factors, including state and local tax rates, and what the real percentage of Republicans versus Democrats there are.  A "red state" that is 51% Republican is a lot different than one that is 65% Republican.  Likewise with a blue state.  Wealthy Republicans like living in New York and California just as much as wealthy Democrats, so their taxes are counted in the blue states where they live.  Just because a state is Blue doesn't mean everyone living there is a democrat.   A handful of billionaire Republicans can skew a chart like this to where it is meaningless.  OTOH, how many billionaire democrats do you think live in Oklahoma?  Nothing to do there except watch teeth fall out of the population, so of course its full of people that can't afford to live elsewhere regardless of party affiliation, or they would.

So again you and others can write whatever responses. You want on here. The real truth and facts proves you wrong on this subject as usual.

happened in Blue state California because I have personally witnessed it.  Lets look at your three "FACTS" . . . . . .

 
1.  In California, children of undocumented immigrants get a free education because their parents don't pay taxes.  If the family qualifies under the "means test", which they always do, the children also get free breakfast and free lunch every school day.  Undocumented immigrants can also get subsidized housing vouchers from the state and local governments.  In California, they can also get debit cards to buy food.  Taxpayers pay for it all.  

 
2.  This is only half a fact.  Most illegal immigrants work cash jobs where they are paid under the table, so there are no taxes deducted from their earnings like there is for legal immigrants.  

 
3.  In California, most  recipients of public assistance by far are minorities.  

 
Its clever to use the term "welfare" to exclude other forms of public assistance that are sucking down our tax dollars.  While illegals may not always qualify for formal "welfare" programs, California has many programs that go by other names that provide billions of dollars to illegals.  

There is an elected official who is an enemy of the press. I see Cortez, being forced to resign before her term is up.

Why are college  students always pissed off? I thought they wanted to go to college. They shouldn't mad.

Could you imagine if the entire population had to go to college. They would all act like pissed off college students.

Free college.
