    People in general tend to have more personal wealth in blue states due to safety nets and other social programs red states lack.
    It’s rich vs poor because it’s red vs blue

      I heard people complaining about taxes all the time when I lived in us republican states. In US democrat states, only the far right was complaining. Everyone else was enjoying the public services that the taxes paid for, and most of us had been to places that claimed to have lower tax burdens (but did not) and provided far less services. Texas for example.
