Which states vote republican? Which states have the highest number of people on welfare? Do some basic research.

And how many Republicans advocate for the abolition of the welfare state? Not many. Furthermore, these numbers of people on welfare are well below 50%. How about you look at your research and actually do some thinking.
Most of the red states vote on something called principles, and the number that does that well outweighs the number voting for their own greed. Even then, most of the Republicans are not Ron Paul, so this is a completely irrelevant conversation. There are few Republicans advocating the abolition of the welfare state, and most people are voting for perpetuating it, regardless of whether they're Democrat or Republican. I don't see many Republicans calling for the repeal of Social Security or anything of the sort.
This is about the most off-topic rebuttal you could have put forward in so many ways.
