(Alberta Times)

"Occupy Wall Street" emphasizes the inequality of the American economy, and demonstrators from all over the world also flaunt themselves as the 99% of society, attracting public attention. In fact, wealth differences have always existed, and American states are also trying to redistribute resources through education expenditures, unemployment benefits, health care, welfare and other means to achieve a level of fair competition. 24/7 Wall Street looked at state government spending to determine which areas provide the least money and benefits to residents. The analysis found that areas also bear higher tax burdens to fund these projects. When all residents of all income levels benefit from government assistance, and the poor receive more benefits, medical care, insurance, unemployment insurance, etc., will economic inequality be reduced even more? Ranking of state government stinginess in the United States: Texas is 10th, Florida is 9th, Indiana is 8th, South Carolina is 7th, Arizona is 6th, Alabama is 5th, Oklahoma is 4th, Idaho is 3rd, Tennessee is 2nd, and Arkansas is 1st. Among them, Arizona’s average pension benefits: $19,056, average spending per student: $7,813, Medicaid payments to beneficiaries: $4,701, weekly unemployment benefit rate: 26.2%, total monthly FTA applications: 35.4 months, average monthly FTA cash: $270. While the state's state and local tax burden is significantly lower than the national average, it spends less than the national average in a number of different areas. Taking education as an example, the state government's annual support per student is the third lowest in the United States. Recently, the state Senate cut $200 million in K-12 education funding. The state government also provides relatively little weekly wage assistance to the unemployed. The average weekly unemployment benefit is $213, the fourth lowest in the United States.
