Voting against one's own economic interests...Politics gone awry.

[nat4900]

Beyond the incessant "we won with Trump" mantra often voiced by right wingers, there should be the sanity of reality which occurs a bit later, sobering up the silly chanting.


Truth be told, red states that voted overwhelmingly for Trump just haven’t been pulling their weight.

Red states are nearly twice as dependent on the federal government as blue states. Of the twelve states that received the least federal aid in return for each tax dollar they contribute to the U.S. Treasury,TEN of them voted for Hillary Clinton—and the other two were Michigan and Wisconsin, barely won by Trump in a temporary loss of sanity.

By the same count, 20 of the 26 states most dependent on federal aid went to Trump.
For example, Mississippi [in]famous for being 49th or 50th in just about everything that matters. When it comes to sucking at the federal teat, the Magnolia State is the undisputed champ. More than 40 percent of Mississippi’s state revenue comes from federal funding; one-third of its GDP comes from federal spending; for every dollar it pays out in federal taxes, Good ol' Mississippi takes in $4.70 in federal aid, and one in five residents of that state is on food stamps.

So, what do these red states do when it comes to electing a president?.....They succumb to demagoguery and lies....and vote in the very worst person whose economic (and health) plans are aimed at royally screwing them......Wolf-like Populism in orange sheep clothing.

Bottom line: The generosity of blue states' contribution to the federal coffers, is slapped down by the stupidity of those who were the beneficiary of that generosity.

America has always been Number One in the world in brainwashing and conditioning the Sheeple.

It's the one thing we will always be able to export to the rest of the world.

Ask yourself what issues they are voting for. What do the voters think are their interests? Or you could get out of the way and let the Republicans actually cut those subsidies. But instead you hope to win elections by along the voters stupid.

Nah. You blue people can exit to wherever you like. We're keeping the dirt, and all things on it. Just watch.

Those lazy asses should get off their welfare butts and get a job damn it. Pull their own weight for a change, they are bringing the country down I tell you. If they're not old enough to get a job at least make them go to school until they finish the 10th grade. For christ sakes.

 

[BluesLegend]

Hillary promised to raise my taxes and give my money to her mooching loser deadbeats, hence I voted for Trump.

 

[nat4900]

Or you could get out of the way and let the Republicans actually cut those subsidies

Cutting those "subsidies"by republicans would make blue states RICHER and red states more like 3rd world mini-countries....

Actually, not a bad plan.....I like it.

She did????........WOW, what a meanie....Were the "mooching loser deadbeats" in states like Mississippi and Alabama.....or do you mean those "darkies".....LOL

Wages are the number one problem for the middle class. Republicans and corporate America aren't interested in fixing that problem.

/---/ Since when is voting for your socialist slave state in our own best economic interest? By what twisted perverse logic do you make that claim? Our best interest is higher taxes and less freedom?

 

[nat4900]

Corporate America is ONLY interested in profits (and private Lear jets)

Elected republicans are ONLY interested in having those corporations help them to get re-elected so that they could better serve the interest of those corporations' demands....

Actually a cute and cozy, circular deal.....

I promise it won't tax (pardon the expression) your half brain too much.

Please do it.

Once red states run their own show, you'll see some good things happen.

People on food stamps will leave in droves.

So why don't you keep your socialism yourselves? Leave the rest of us out of it...
socialism is a living hell for those that don't want to be controlled by political correctness.
