He was calling Fox News liars... well, the only thing wrong about what Chavez said in that video was that he referred to Fox as a news network when it's mostly a platform for a bunch of right-wing pundits.

I'm willing to give people credit when it's due no matter where it comes from.

Careful there, Willow, all the Democrats might stop paying there taxes, and you welfare recipients in the red states would starve.

Yawn.

Georgia breaks about even historically. Texas consistently pays out more than it receives. Both considered bastions of Republicans

And on the flipside Hawaii reliably receives more than it pays, as do Maine and Rhode Island. All three considered Democratic strongholds.

And the biggest suckup of dollars received versus dollars earned was New Mexico. #1 from 1985 through 2005. And they went "blue" in '92, '96, 2000 and '08.

Doesn't seem to be any historical correlation between voting patterns and federal taxes paid vs taxes spent that is any sort of reliable indicator.

Here's the raw data in case anyone is interested.

The Tax Foundation - Federal Taxes Paid vs. Federal Spending Received by State, 1981-2005

Yawn.

Georgia breaks about even historically. Texas consistently pays out more than it receives. Both considered bastions of Republicans

And on the flipside Hawaii reliably receives more than it pays, as do Maine and Rhode Island. All three considered Democratic strongholds.

And the biggest suckup of dollars received versus dollars earned was New Mexico. #1 from 1985 through 2005. And they went "blue" in '92, '96, 2000 and '08.

Doesn't seem to be any historical correlation between voting patterns and federal taxes paid vs taxes spent that is any sort of reliable indicator.

Here is the ranking from the last year on that report.

1. New Mexico
2. Mississippi
3. Alaska
4. Louisiana
5. West Virginia
6. North Dakota
7. Alabama
8. South Dakota
9. Kentucky
10. Virginia
11. Montana
12. Hawaii
13. Maine
14. Arkansas
15. Oklahoma
16. South Carolina
17. Missouri
18. Maryland
19. Tennessee
20. Idaho
21. Arizona
22. Kansas
23. Wyoming
24. Iowa
25. Nebraska
26. Vermont
27. North Carolina
28. Pennsylvania
29. Utah
30. Indiana
31. Ohio
32. Georgia
33. Rhode Island
34. Florida
35. Texas
36. Oregon
37. Michigan
38. Washington
39. Wisconsin
40. Massachusetts
41. Colorado
42. New York
43. California
44. Delaware
45. Illinois
46. Minnesota
47. New Hampshire
48. Connecticut
49. Nevada
50. New Jersey
51. District of Columbia

I'm not quite sure what can be drawn from this ranking except that richer states give more and poorer states receive more.

I think the explanation for NM, AK, ND, and SD might be the high proportion of Native American or Eskimo populations, as well as the lack of large urban areas.

Also, when it comes to Alaska, nearly every bridge that is built is a bridge to nowhere, so the cost per person is high.

Actually, DC is at the very tip-top if you look at the actual dollars. But since their government is so screwy (meaning the feds have a disproportionate amount of control over it) I kinda throw it out.

Someone said the democrats will stop paying taxes, ha, they already did, What happened to that tired old ex senator from the Dakotas, Sen Daschel bowed out for not paying taxes. What about the Democrats that are life long welfare recipients, they pay no tax. I could go on for thousands of words.

Sen. Tom Dashel was the first and far from the last top Democrat who did not pay his tax that Obama wanted in Obamas government
