Over the years the states of Kentucky, West Virginia, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama recorded the highest number of children living in poverty, senior citizens being the poorest in the country and their education systems are some of the worst at the Elementary, Middle and High School levels. Yet, the citizens of these states continue to elect Republican politicians. Even those who continue to preach that Medicare and Social Security must be subjected to financial cuts. I find that election result repetition hard to grasp. Don’t they realize that their elected officials have done nothing to improve their standard of living. What do they have to lose in voting in some fresh blood? Maybe it will result in new ideas and approaches which can bring progress to these states.
