Most Red States Take More Money From Washington Than They Put In

I would be willing to bet that this list is practically identical to average wages by state. Low wages equal low tax receipts and more people needing public assistance. When you look at it that way even welfare is partially corporate welfare.
 
Mother Jones?...Are you fucking kidding me?
I think that peyote you're smoking has kicked in.
Where the money goes is irrelevant.
It is the spending in and of itself that is the problem.
Nice try though. Sure..:lame2:

Where the money goes is irrelevant? Maybe the most moronic post in a long time.

congrats: :clap2: you now have my full attention.

Even as Republicans gripe about deficit spending, their states get 30 cents more federal spending per tax dollar than their Democratic neighbors.

MAPS & More: Most Red States Take More Money From Washington Than They Put In | Mother Jones

When we take back the House in November, we need to start making our own cuts. Instead of how the GOP went after social security and medicare, we'll go after the welfare that exists in states like Kentucky and Alabama.

P.S. We should keep the post office in Blue states and let the red states come up with their own system. Who do you think will pay more? Maybe if the post office didn't have to service small remote towns down south they would be more profitable.
 

All states take more from the government than they pay to it, that is why we run a deficit.

Actually, according to the article, over a dozen states take in less than they pay in taxes. The deficit would relate to the average, not the minimum payment to states, except that some government funds aren't spent on any states (eg, foreign aid).

Actually, the article is wrong. it is only counting direct federal spending, not indirect. California is worried about going broke right now because Obama is proposing cutting defense. That means that Boxer, Feingold, and Pelosi will all chip in to help divert more governemnt money to the military industrial complex and defense contractors in their state. Why would they do that unless California actually relies on federal spending to a larger degree than the article indicates?
 
States receiving the most federal funding per tax dollar paid:
1. New Mexico: $2.63
2. West Virginia: $2.57
3. Mississippi: $2.47
4. District of Colombia: $2.41
5. Hawaii: $2.38
6. Alabama: $2.03
7. Alaska: $1.93
8. Montana: $1.92
9. South Carolina: $1.92
10. Maine: $1.78

Then why don't YOU provide us with your version of the truth - complete with maps and credible source links.

Exactly...Here we fucking go again. :eusa_wall:
 
The freaking federal government is up to it's bloated ass in debt. States rely on the federal government because they have no other choice. Please don't be so stupid to hold up the federal government as a model. Most states would be better off fending for themselves.
 
One would think that all these 'Conservatives' would get off their dead asses, shovel the beer cans away from their single wide doors, and get a job. After all, they are always the ones yapping about lazy liberals. I think that they resent the fact that we don't support them in the way that they think that we should.

There are a lot of conservative middle aged white men who vote GOP and they would talk about lazy black people on welfare who are now unemployed themselves and can't find work. They never thought it would happen to them. 50 years old and no one wants to hire them. And now unemployment extentions have been cut off and they are now applying for welfare and foodstamps.

And even then they blame the liberals.
 
That's why Red States are our welfare states leeching off of other Americans
Like America/Americans LEECH off the rest of the world,if it wasn't for borrowed money....you RIGHTWINGER would be living in a MUD HUT.....YOU SCREAM AT YOUR OWN PEOPLE IN NEED...YET THE WORLD HAS TO SUPPORT YOU LIKE A WELFARE RECEPIENT(What a complete MORON and HYPOCRITE YOU TRULY ARE)

THE IRONY IS THAT RIGHTWINGER IS REDDER THAN CHINA BECAUSE HE TAKES THEIR LOANS.............SELFISH GUTLESS REDNECK,SOCIALIST COMMIE BASTARD,pretending to be an indignant conservative tax payer.

Yeah a RED IN CONSERVATIVE SKIN:lol::lol::lol:I'm theliq I kick ASS BIG TIME,FOR GOOD REASON.:eusa_angel::cool:

Aid to states IS direct funding.

There are national resources and national programs and there are national priorities. All states benefit from national programs in any given state.

gawd, deceit, deception, and lying through omission still? :eek:

Then please start fending for yourselves. Us here in Michigan pay more than we get back. We're tired of carrying your load, especially when you tea bag us after we take care of you!

Bush borrowed the money from China to occupy Iraq. That and he looted the social security fund. All because he didn't want to raise anyones taxes. Now we have a $14 trillion dollar debt.

No bigotry here, right rocks? Find Barney Frank who is on his honeymoon with his new husband and ask him why his committee which had oversight responsibility for Fannie Mae told Americans that Fannie was doing fine when it was on the verge of collapse. Every state has to take money from the federal government whether or not the states have a high population of single wide trailers that elitist lefties like rocks love to make fun of. It's a fact of life that every state has to get what it can from the big pig in Washington. It's too bad that democrats seem to have no inclination to trim the fat that is corrupting their party.
The GOP headed and ran that committee until what year? Please, the same old propaganda crap blaming Frank and the Democrats for GOP policies. Sure some Democrats went along, but be honest, deregulation pushed by the GOP (and Clinton admin) led to the financial mess.

Ordering new planes from McDonnell Douglass is aid to the states?

Gawd, the stupidity, idiocy, and outright lying is back in full force. Did anyone miss Dante?

Anyone?

New Mexico: Low population density and most of the land mass is owned by the feds.
West Virginia: Insert socialist elitist dickweed snob joke here.
Mississippi: Major agriculture state...You don't hate farmers, do you?
District of Criminals: So, THAT'S where all of America's tax dollars are being pissed away!
Hawaii: Run by liberoidals since day one...No surprise.
Alabama: See Mississippi.
Alaska: What, you think that administering to a state twice the size of Texas (the feds own most of the land, BTW) is going to be cheap?
Montana: Two words; Population density.

One word: RETARD.
 
Another factor to consider is the regressive tax structures of the states, It seems that the states getting the most from the government also tax their poor and middle class at astoundingly higher rates than their 1%.

OK, fine with me. You asses in the Red states can just starve.:lol:

hello? :lol:

Ordering new planes from McDonnell Douglass is - aid to all states. National program of defense. The orders are NOT aid to any one state per se, duh?
