Texas governor: Washington taking care of Alabama, not Texas

[LordBrownTrout]

Maybe texans should stop giving the Federal governement any money. Then they would have plenty of money to take care of this situation. I guess Washington forgets where it gets its money.

Actually, they wouldn't.

Yes, actually we would.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Perhaps we should just quit sending fed tax dollars in. I'd be damn glad to quit paying into SS also.....if I had a choice. But since I'm FORCED into paying then I'll be taking it when I retire.

And how much money does Washington get from Texas compared to what they get from DC?

Didn't the Texas Governor want to secede?

So they get to pay taxes to bail everyone else out, but they aren't entitled to receive anything they paid for if they object to being mulcted?

That is so beautifully fascist!

Actually, they don't pay enough to 'bail everybody out'.

No one said they paid the entire bill, knucklehead.

Apparently you agree that you're a fascist.

Knucklehead? I take it you didn't read YOUR post where YOU said: So they get to pay taxes to bail everyone else out, but they aren't entitled to receive anything they paid for if they object to being mulcted?

It looks like you're the knucklehead who doesn't remember from one post to the next what he posted. BTW, I see you're also not bright enough to know the difference between fascist, socialist, and any other political/economic theory.

In fiscal 2009, the IRS collected about $163 billion from Texans and the state received about $224 billion, for a net gain of $61 billion. Federal spending in Texas also exceeded tax payments in 2008 by $8 billion. It was the other way around in 2006 and 2007, when tax payments by Texans exceeded federal spending by a total of about $47 billion.

I think it would be insulting to the great State of Texas to offer them charity like this. They are capable of handling things by themselves and don't need federal handouts

Totally agree on that. They've got their Texas Pride...it's very important.

Right, and the federal government has their tax money. They aren't entitled to any of that, are they? Only good, obedient, bootlicking liberals are entitled to government benefits.

Alabama liberal?

Yuo have to be kidding.

Wow, what a doosh that Perry is.

Alabama is primarily conservative, but you've got to remember there's a HUGE democrat base here too. Many, but not all of course, being African American. There are a lot of AA's here, as opposed to other states.

That being said, there's been no discussion here about the federal guidelines and criteria for what constitutes disaster relief necessity. That's right. I said it. Perhaps one state qualified...and the other didn't. Happens all the time.

Someone bitching about Texas' need want to chime in with some relevant law and data? I doubt you will.

 

[Mr Natural]

If the entire state of Texas (other than the Gulf Coast) burned down, would anybody notice the difference?

Or give a shit?

 

[Ravi]

Not me. But I really, really can't believe after all the devastation in Alabama that he is whining like this...what a flipping hypocritical turd.

Is Disaster Relief in the Constitution or does it fall under the General Welfare clause?

That sounds like an excellent Idea...they should do that.

Yeah...I thought that was pretty funny too!

Maybe Washington doesn't want to spend limited federal resources in a state that's going to succeed from the union. I'm just saying....

First off, douche, it's "secede", not succeed. Succeed is what we do when Dems aren't in power.

Second, Texas has not threatened to secede -- we'd be better off if we did not having to carry your asses on our backs -- that's just more leftwingnut, bullshit rhetoric.

Can you losers EVER come up with something that is actually fact-based spreading your myths around?

Like Obama is a proven liar but you can't do anything but ignore every one of his lies? Or the Democrats are liars for even using the word democrat or " there's no taxation without representation" -- you know -- that thing we committed treason against our King over? -- when Obama didn't even actually win the Democratic primary?

Want to run your suck and get served some more, dumbass?

About the time we quit having to pay Federal taxes, who needs you losers?

 

[Gunny]

Like Righwinger said, they say they can take care of themselves. We are letting them do that.
The people who want more of localized government, are the first to bitch when the fed doesn't come and bail them out. Just sayin.

As usual, you have no idea what you're stating.

I was under the impression that Tex-ass and it's Governor really didn't want the U.S. to involved in what are purely State Matters.

Maybe Chuckles Norris can lend him some money.

We can wait for someone to Post what they say about it in the federalist papers, I guess

and we got YOUR f-ing debt.

Make up your minds, commies ... you want to play the socialist shit or not?

Let me sum this thread up for you so far:

I'm NOT exempt from your socialist taxes and handout programs; yet,

I AM exempt from any services they might render simply because some pusswad on a PC in momma's basement wants to take things out of context and repeat a lie until they believe it's true.

Hypocrites. Guess why I'm NOT surprised.
