Doesn't what you say imply that the poor in blue states are more well-behaved and less exploitative than the poor in red states?
What would you guess to be a reason for that?

The reason is very obvious, but we're not supposed to talk about it on Reddit.

/u/terrykrohe would it be possible to do one plotting percentage of impoverished population that's black people against incarceration categorized by R and D?
Our boy here has a hypothesis for a cause of incarceration and surely the correlations for the "obvious explanation" will be stronger than the correlations for the alleged Effect of political affiliation.

I found data from the StLouis Fed Reserve and from the sentencing project source ... I will work something up
It would be a plot of black/white income ratio VS black/white incarceration ratio using the Rep/Dem state differentiation.
... thanks for the suggestion – it should be interesting
