Cons overwhelmingly vote for Harvey welfare .

I don't recall republicans calling Sandy relief "welfare". What do you remember?

They called it pork Seems they always find a way to bash dem states How about Texass raising their taxes and help pay for the disaster??

Texas ranked 4th among low-tax states
The state of New York imposes the highest tax burden on its residents, while the residents of Wyoming enjoy the least tax burden, 24/7 Wall St. reported citing data from the Tax Foundation.

During the 2011 tax season, Americans paid 9.8% of their income in state and local taxes, in addition to the taxes collected by the federal government. Residents of New York paid 12.6% of their income in state and local taxes, while Wyoming collected less than 7% from its tax-payers.

States with low tax burdens often eliminated a major type of tax. States that had high tax burdens typically utilized a wide range of taxes. “High tax states tend to be those that not only have high [tax] rates but tax a lot of different things in a lot of different ways,” Lyman Stone, economist at the Tax Foundation, told 24/7 Wall St.

24/7 Wall St. compiled the lists of states with the highest and lowest tax burdens using the Tax Foundation’s analysis of state and local tax burden as a share of state residents’ income. This includes all taxes paid by residents to the state or to various localities.

Among the states with lowest taxes:

4. Texas
Taxes paid by residents as pct. of income: 7.5%
Total state taxes collected: $48.6 billion (3rd highest)
Tax burden per capita: 3,088 (8th smallest)
Income per capita: $41,269 (23rd highest)
Texas is one of a handful of states with no income tax - individual or corporate. Texas also has among the lowest gas tax rates.

These are some of the states with the highest taxes:

1. New York
Taxes paid by residents as percent of income: 12.6%
Total state taxes collected: $71.5 billion (2nd highest)
Tax burden per capita: $6,622 (3rd largest)
Income per capita: $52,417 (5th highest)
According to 24/7 Wall St., more than half of the $71.5 billion came from individual income taxes.

2. New Jersey
Taxes paid by residents as percent of income: 12.3%
Total state taxes collected: $27.5 billion (7th highest)
Tax burden per capita: $6,675 (2nd largest)
Income per capita: $54,422 (2nd highest)
According to 24/7, one of the reasons for the higher taxes could be the state's "considerable debt burden of $7,328 per capita, the fifth highest in the U.S

Yet Texas ranks 2nd in Federal tax collected by state. Could be thats because they have a more active an growing economy than other places even though individuals pay less.
Of course Democrats are all about socking it to the Individual (code word for racist) who works rather than just have their state pay its fair share in Taxes when looking at the bottom line. Its akin to Democratic Senators believing the Island of Guam can flip over... they just have everything upside down.

Yes, Texas should get help in even of a Hurricane. Its the Governments job to promote stability to the country in state of Emergency. Considering the petroleum that flows through Texas it's also in the benefit of the ENTIRE country that Texas be helped get back up to speed. Increase in fuel costs can potentially cost the rest of the nation billions of Dollars but rational people would not expect Democrats to realize that. They are more concerned with equating disaster relief with telling someone that they dont need to work.

[eddiew37]

During democrat administrations they call it "disaster relief" but they call it "welfare" when a republican is in office. The longer the crazy left plays the semantics game the more they look like pathetic sore losers.

And what did our great repub politicians call Sandy ,,,,besides not voting for aid??/ Or did you forget?

The bill was a pork-laden Democrat payoff to voters in the Northeast.

and so is any aid to texas Get your own house in order You expect others taxes to pay for you??

So, did you look at the bill for Sandy and compare it to the current bill? Of course not!

Libs cannot comprehend the written word, so they bloviate!

No I didn't compare What's the diff?? Both were disasters Why do repubs play tightwad when it's a Dem problem ?

Again though Eddie, Texas pays its fair share in Taxes. It's second only to california in money sent to Washington. They also send a disproportionate amount of men and women into the armed services compared to states like NY and Conneticut so I dont see the problem with sending aid back into their communities in a time of natural disaster.

I'm sure Texas could handle it on their own though it would take longer but dont you think the Governor of Texas would be roundly criticized by Democrats and Reps alike if he didn't ask for Federal aid? you dont believe its his place to do so when his job is to take care of the people in Texas.
This whole thread is just fun and games here, nothing more.

God, you are such a hateful, anti-American free-loader supporter.

You have no problem giving all the tax-payer-funded freebies possible out to deadbeats, out-of-work career Antifa protestors, drug abusers, etc, but when hard-working tax payers need a hand after a disaster you get your panties in a wad.

THAT is the Libtard gimmick - pack critical, American citizen-helping bills with a ton of f*ed up, un-associated, wasteful pork spending then demonize the hell out of the GOP for voting against 'the poor victims of Texas'.

And, proving Gruber was right, snowflakes actually buy that sh!t.

You're the one singling out hard-working, tax-paying Texas citizens to pi$$ on, calling the aid to disaster relief victims 'welfare', while liberals USE them (after Harvey destroyed their lives) to steal millions from tax-payers in the form of self/party-benefitting pork.

[Timmy]

Pssssst . Free money from the gov = welfare. I know the righty hypocrits in Texas will delude themselves into thinking otherwise , but it's true. They are no different than the unemployed guy who signs up for food stamps that they deride .

So yeah I say "welfare" to put those righty pukes in their rightful place .

Already there's a 1/2 mill signing up for relief . Well from now on none of them will be able to say "well I've never taken welfare ".
