What would Ronnie Raygun say today about the hypocritical GOP welfare State currying favor from their own Red Republican States who claim to be so bloody individualistic, God fearing, patriotic and independent hardworking folks when the truth is they are takers and PANHANDLERS with their paws stretched out toward Washington DC receiving so much 'Federal assistance' and reeking the stench of hypocrisy?
Directly below are two tables; one for the 10 states receiving the MOST in Federal assistance for the State itself and it's citizens and the second for the citizens of those 10 States receiving the LEAST Federal assistance and the rankings for both. Boy do the GOP dominated States know how to bring home the bacon for their constituency of Federal Welfare Queens! Data obtained from WalletHub.com date Mar 29, 2016 ~~ 2016’s Most & Least Federally Dependent States ~~
The methodology is outlined in the piece so take any vacuous arguments on that score to the producers of the final data!
