Blue states have higher per capita income, higher per capita wealth and more people to boot. Most of the poorest areas on the country are Bright Red. Will your less poverty-stricken areas support your poor Red brothers and sisters? Just asking.
The blue states have a higher per capita now because our wealth is included right now. I'm pretty sure that you are as familiar with the government related factions associated with the Democrats as me at this point. I'm pretty sure that you know the bulk of their wealth is directly related to government funding as well. As I've said, the big government Democrats have set up a pretty good gig for themselves. The poorer areas have people who have nothing and living off the dole and working people who aren't as impoverished as them who have no interest in ending up like them or paying for them either.
Actually, most of the income derived by the Blue members of society comes from the service sector: engineeering, medicine, law, media and high tech (among others). That will continue to exist in Blue areas, because most if not all those occupations are dependent on urban infrastructure. Occupations with higher Red concentratin will also continue to exist in Blue areas, because, like the Blue occupations, they are located in urban areas at much higher pay. I don't see peple uprooting and moving just to be with kindred spirits. If they do, then things will get messy on your side more than mine. For example, medical staff at all levels are getting burned-out by vaccine obstinancy, and few will stay behind to keep you helathy if the environment is toxic. Your choice.
