So whats your point then? Only people that don't pay taxes should benefit from them?
Oh gosh..I'm sorry.
But I guess it's from all the confusion.
You see people like Perry have been saying stuff like government spending is bad. Government doesn't create jobs. We have a massive debt. We have a massive deficit.
And yet..I don't really see Perry advocating for stopping big pork to oil companies, which, ultimately benefit his state...or giving back the stimulus money.
Heck..maybe all the Republican politicians could be patriotic..give back the stimulus..and call for an end to the pork for their respective industries..like Bachmann..who benefitted directly from pork.
Then maybe we can pay down the wars started by conservatives to keep us safe..but never provisioned any way to pay them down.
Or pay for the Department of Homeland Security.
Or Medicare Part D.
Or the Bailouts.
Or any number of things Conservatives larded into the debt.
Well its the people of his state's money, he's gonna get as much as he can back instead of letting the people of texas pay the bill for other states to benefit. It would be stupid to do otherwise. Its the way the system is setup. He has to benefit his state the best he can within the system. Don't blame him. Blame the system. Im sure he'd like to see a better system where the state keeps more of its money locally.
