Despite what some people would have you believe the largest single block of welfare recipients is in CA. The have about 12 million people on the welfare roles. If you add all of the welfare folks together from "poor rural southern states" as people from CA like to claim the total on welfare is less than 10 million if you include MO, KY, TN, WV, NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, LA and AR. To match the numbers from CA you have to add in FL. And honestly GA and FL really no longer count as "rural states" anymore. Now I omitted OH and VA because neither is rural by today's standards.

Government workers and retirees (including local, state and federal).
Military retirees.
And there were a few more that were very questionable. Thing is the did this to make some red states appear to have more folks on welfare than they have paying taxes. Now don't get too upset. A conservative did a piece that heavily padded numbers trying to make the blue states look worse than they are first. The other side just turned the tables.
