In conservative states, people who're dying can afford to live better.
So, living causes death?
You're claiming people in conservative states have better quality of life? Do you have any evidence for this?
This is a more than fair question.
Well I think with live better he means, go to church on Sunday, say aweful things about homosexual and people of color afterwards. Then after a bit of gun polishing, they drink a beer with a friend and discuss how some politician is a Nazi because he/she wants to preserve nature for future generations. After that they write an email to the local school, to take the evil Harry Potter books out of the library once and for all. A perfect day.
