Why do blue states have higher education rates and less people below the poverty line?

A friend posted this on FB and another of her friends immediately expressed indignation that she was so thoughtlessly insulting so many people. My friend (a customer, actually) works for a school system and is an Obama supporter.

Awesome. It should read "Most State Indoctrinated" versus "Least State Indoctrinated". And once again, where did those degrees lead to, how were they obtained, and where is the breakdown on where all that "More Educated" bread is being buttered?

My interpretation, left unsaid, was that what it really illustrates is that, whether highly educated or not, most Americans are still falling for the false Left/Right paradigm.

There are some sound economic reasons for two of those states , right off the top of my head without thinking about it . West Virginia , jobs , are coal , so even though they are likely , mostly reg.'d Dems, they do not vote for the coal Terrorist Obummer. Indiana , about 20 % of the jobs are good mnfg jobs that require no degree .Thus , less education, and in that state, education likely to pay off less.They are in the top ten in student debt already, in school there now ? in this economy, wasted money.

Moving further to a couple more , Maryland, New York , are commie states, no suprise there .....maybe , the only two that there is no definitive answer for , would be New Hampshire & Colorado ....

Stalin and Marx were intellectual leaders, IIRC.

I have never lived in Nevada, but , suspect its politics are controlled by the Dems and Service Union... who probably outnumber the normal people ...

Not in US but "highger education" is not always translated into useful knowledge...

"Aroma therapist", "Fashion guru","English literature doctor" (which reminded me of terrible accidents and aroma therapist comes screaming let me through i am aroma therapist ill save him...)..... we need them (maybe) but not so many of them. maybe 1 in a 200.000 but not 1 in a 1000.

I do not see much useful knowledge coming from large population centers, now that you mention it .....

So , really , educated, overall = socialist =retarded......
