GUESS WHICH STATES ALL THOSE "TAKERS" ON DISABILITY COME FROM

You've heard the right-wing complaints:

* "Disability Claims Explode During Obama's First Term"
* "Disability Ranks Continue to Surge Under Obama"
* "Getting People on Disability Has Become Big Business at Taxpayers' Expense"
* "[Bill] O'Reilly Exposes Massive 'Disability Con'"

Never mind the fact that disability rolls are probably going up for simple demographic reasons -- the population is getting older, after all. We've been told that people on disability are the 47%, the "takers," the people who've been lulled into parasitism by Obama's evil socialist policies.

Well, guess which states have the highest percentages of people on disability. Here are the top 10, accoding to the site 247WallSt.com:

10. Michigan
9. Missouri
8. South Carolina
7. Tennessee
6. Maine
5. Mississippi
4. Kentucky
3. Alabama
2. Arkansas
1. West Virginia

A lot of red there, wouldn't you say? Only two of the ten states, Maine and Michigan, voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012. Oddly, the bluest, most sneered at pinko-socialist states, California and New York and Massachusetts, aren't on the list. What happened? How is our excess of evil socialism not the main diver of this disability explosion? Inquiring minds want to know.
