9 of 10 Most Expensive States for Gas Are Democrat Controlled

Does it never bother you that you cannot find a single honest website to back up the lies Republicans tell you?

It does not

Now it’s true that the average taxpayer in blue states pays a higher per capita income tax than the average taxpayer in red states. But that’s because those states — particularly Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and California — have more rich people. Don’t the Democrats want the rich paying their fair share?

As for blue states allegedly getting back less, what numbers are they looking at? It is true that red states receive 35.75 percent on average of their budgets from the federal government, while blue states receive 30.80 percent.

But this is because the blue states’ budgets are far larger due to all the bloat and waste.

The 10 states in the best fiscal condition are almost all red states.

The 10 states with the worst numbers in the red are almost all blue states.

The higher the taxes, the more mismanaged a state is. CNBC examined the infrastructure of every state — roads, airports, water systems and ports — and found that the places with the worst-rated infrastructure are six Democratic states, which also rank among the highest in taxes collected per resident: Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York.

Kyle Sammin at The Federalist found that if you look at the amount of money the federal government gives to states on a per capita basis instead, blue states get more; $2,124 per resident. Red states receive just $1,879 on average.

Matt Palumbo writing at The Dan Bongino Show found that even if red states receive more in federal welfare, it’s not going to Republicans. Those on public assistance, as well as long-term unemployment, are overwhelmingly Democrats.





Behind the Misleading Statement That Blue States Subsidize Red States

No. Red states send the federal $10 dollars and they take $20. Blue states send $20 and take $10. We pay out more than we get back. You get back more than you paid.

Take for example how Rand Paul says no to Federal Natural Disaster Relief any time another state has a natural disaster.

Sen. Rand Paul's aid request for tornado damage faces backlash

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican, is facing criticism for requesting federal aid for his home state despite his long track record of opposing aid for other regions.

Sen. Rand Paul's aid request for tornado damage faces backlash​

The lawmaker has opposed federal disaster aid for other states.

See you Republicans/Libertarians don't even realize what pieces of shit hypocrites you all are. Shameless.

You are correct, but do we know why?

Right now for every person looking for a job, there are 1.5 jobs available. If a Republican were in charge these USMB Republicans would be blaming the homeless not Republicans.

Am not being bombed, things may be a little more costly but will not miss a meal. Still think Americans are smart enough to figure out what kind of car they want to buy & politics should have nothing to do with it.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

You are correct, but do we know why?

There are any number of factors involved.

Obviously.


Those who try to choose just one factor while ignoring all the others are just propagandizing, however.

The chief contributer are more social than they are economic, but both play a part.

They also are some of the most wealthiest states of the union.

Have these USMB Cons ever considered that these oil companies are just gouging us?

The biggest companies aren't experiencing inflation in the same way as their customers.

Consumer prices increased 7.9% in Feb compared with a year earlier. The fastest inflation surge since the early 1980s. But not everybody is feeling the squeeze of higher prices in the same way. Corporate profits have soared as businesses reap the rewards of their customers willingness to pay more.

“These companies would have consumers believe they marked up prices just to keep up with outside costs, but the tens of billions in extra profits and generous giveaways to investors last year show otherwise.

So here we are again, Republicans and/or corporate America is fucking you but telling you it's Biden's dick up your collective vaginas.

If you believe Global warming is real then you should favor battery cars and other sources of sustainable energy and so sorry, politics plays a part in this. And if you are pro going green, realize Democrats will give you a rebate for buying a battery car, Republicans would not.

To me, this is evidence that confirms my position that the Republican party is the party for the rich.

These companies would have consumers believe they marked up prices just to keep up with outside costs, but the tens of billions in extra profits and generous giveaways to investors last year show otherwise.

People hate seeing prices go up, and as a result, inflation has overshadowed low unemployment and high job growth as the biggest political economy story, tanking President Joe Biden’s approval rating and threatening Democrats’ control of Congress in this year’s midterm elections.

As Inflation Soars, So Do Corporate Profits

The biggest companies aren't experiencing inflation in the same way as their customers.

Republicans have blamed higher prices on the American Rescue Plan, the $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill Democrats passed this time last year, boosting the spending power of most American households with $1,400 checks.

Democrats point to pandemic-related supply chain problems, and, increasingly, corporate greed as the main culprits behind rising prices. In his State of the Union address last week, Biden said his administration would crack down on ocean shipping firms that overcharge American businesses and consumers.

And this week, Biden warned oil and gas companies not to use the war in Ukraine as an excuse to raise prices too high.

“Russia’s aggression is costing us all, and it’s no time for profiteering or price gouging,” Biden said Tuesday.

I used to think you weren't a total idiot, but you proven me wrong, time and time again.

US oil production is set to be the highest on record for this year. OPEC sets the price for oil and they decreased production by 8 million barrels a day in January of 2020 because the price of oil was below $50 a barrel for the first time in decades.

Since the world started to re-open as the pandemic has eased, OPEC has NOT increased production, and as demand has increased, the price has risen dramaticly, which OPEC is perfectly happy to collect.

Drilling for oil in the USA is at the highest level in history. But that oil is years away from "production". OPEC needs to be "encouraged" to open the spiggots for the rest of the world, and so far, MBS is siding with Russia.

You keep blaming global problems brought on by Putin, OPEC and China, on Joe Biden, who to this point, has been very effective at countering all of the above, with the possible exception of OPEC. Do you think he is some omnipotent master mind??????

Considering all he's done and is dealing with in regards to foreign policy, since taking office - most of which involves cleaning up after Donald Trump: restoring your defense alliances, shoring up and strengthening NATO, ending the war in Afghanistan, restoring and improving the supply chains, having the greatest job and wage growth in Presidential history, lifting millions of Americans out of poverty, and dealing with a war in Ukraine, that you might cut the President some slack here.

Even Ted Cruz is showing support for Biden in the middle of war. But not you Meister. You refuse to get behind your President, in the middle of his attempt to prevent World War III.

WHAT A TRAITOROUS PRICK YOU ARE. AND STUPID TO BOOT.

REFUSING TO BACK YOUR PRESIDENT WAS "AIDING AND ABETTING TERRORISTS" DURING THE IRAQ WAR. PROMOTING VLADIMIR PUTIN'S LIES IS AN ATTEMPT TO DESTROY AMERICA.

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?????

Don't criticize what you can't understand.
It only makes you irrelevant.

 

[Meister]

While 100 US oil companies went bankrupt when he was president in 2019-2020.

I'm not placing blame on anyone. You seem to be, so who held the power in congress?

Did Congress change the course of COVID? You play the hand you're dealt.

 

[Meister]

Actually, what congress did by shutting down the economy did nothing with changing the course.
But it sure was a business killer, and a debt builder.

 

[Dragonlady]

You are correct, but do we know why?

Yes. Wages haven't kept pace with the price of housing. It's a very simple concept.

Expand on that thought please.

The Democrat controlled states are also big in debt, have piss poor schools, high crime, lots of Illegals, high poverty, tremendous homeless and really really fucked up individual liberties with their Pandemic response Nazism.

In addition to all that they are losing population to the non Communist states.

Congress did NOT shut down the country. The states' governors did that.

Where do you get your information from? Everything you post is factually incorrect. No wonder you're such a mess. Everything you KNOW is wrong.

 

[sealybobo]

Don't criticize what you can't understand.

The LESS someone knows, the MORE LIKELY they are to mistakenly OVERESTIMATE their knowledge and abilities.

Studies show it's way easier to identify someone who knows LESS than you than someone who knows more.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is the cognitive bias whereby people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability.

Does this all sound familiar? Someone you know?

I hope our big cities break up and move to your states. Then guess what idiot? Your state will turn blue you stupid sonofabitch. LOL

Glowarm is cyclic. We're but a pinprick. Electric cars are extremely toxic and dangerous for the environment ie disposal of the batteries, extraction of lithium ores etc.
