Why Why Why???

I live in Halifax County in southside Virginia. My county is located in a very economically depressed reigon. About 75% of the people here are uneducated and there is a very large amount of african americans. The Virgina state governemnt does notrhing to help us. Meanwhile NOVA (Northern Virginia) has some of the richest people in the country, has the highest per capita income in the nation, and has the 2nd best education system in the U.S. The taxbase there is unbelievable and there is almost always a surplus of money. The Virginia State government never takes that money to help us poorer counties. Its almost if we dont exist. Why does the governemnt only help those that already have money?
