Texas governor: Washington taking care of Alabama, not Texas

[bripat9643]

Maybe texans should stop giving the Federal governement any money. Then they would have plenty of money to take care of this situation. I guess Washington forgets where it gets its money.

That's a great idea.

Texas gets a lot more money from the federal government than it pays in taxes.

Texas is the biggest welfare queen in the country.

I am tired of supporting a bunch of whinny Republicans.

There's a simple solution to your lament: Put an end to all these federal welfare programs. Since you despise people who get more than they put in, you should be opposed to welfare in principle. The fundamental principle of welfare is that the recipients didn't contribute to it. However, I don't see you lobbying to cut these programs. Why is that?

 

[bripat9643]

Totally agree on that. They've got their Texas Pride...it's very important.

Right, and the federal government has their tax money. They aren't entitled to any of that, are they? Only good, obedient, bootlicking liberals are entitled to government benefits.

I see. Those in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennesse, and Georgia are good bootlicking liberals. I suggest you go to those states and make that statement.

I'm not surprised that the bootlicking liberal didn't get the point. What I was trying to get through your thick skull is the fact that you believe only obedient bootlicking liberals are entitled to government benefits. You want anyone who complains to be denied the benefits their taxes have paid for.

You and your ilk are fascists to the bone.

That's not it at all...

It's all about states that scream about others receiving federal aid and then are first in line when they need it

Horseshit. I've seen the same argument posted on the internet at least 1000 times. It's always the same thing: those who complain about government social programs are not entitled to receive the benefits.

Liberals are fascists to the bone.

When are they going to come clean and stop denying it?

Texas has been at the forefront of the secessionist movement. They secreted in the civil war and threatened to secede during the civil rights movement and when Obama became President (do I detect a trend?)

Texas plays the part of we don't need the stinking Federal Government, but are first with their hand out when they are the ones who need aid

[...]
Federal agencies such as the National Park Service have supplied firefighters to support the state.

[...]An administration official with knowledge of federal assistance provided to Texas tells CNN the state has been already been allocated 16 fire management assistance grants that provide financial support for the specific purpose of fighting fires. Texas has been approved to receive six more grants of this kind to aid state and local governments with firefighting efforts that include equipment, field camps, mobilizing and demobilizing activities. The most recent fire management grant was approved Wednesday.

[rightwinger]

Given the level of devastation and loss of life in Alabama, Gov Perry looks like a complete ass for whining that Texas is not getting it's fair share

His timing and choice of target could not be worse

 

[RadiomanATL]

Texas pretty much breaks even. Not like California or Illinois. Texas gets a lot, and I mean a LOT of money from the government. Military bases to say the least.

Notice, nearly ALL the Red States get back way more than they paid. ******* socialists.

New Mexico is now a blue state, per the 2008 election.

Makes the biggest moocher state go to the democrats now.

Come on. You have to give them time to dig out of the hole the Republicans left them in. Just like the country. Republican policies bring down the world economy and the public gets mad the Democrats didn't fix years of destructive polices fast enough.

So they vote Republican to teach Democrats a "lesson", but who got schooled? Now, the very people that voted Republicans into office are working to hold "recalls" from sea to shining sea.

Remember Jan 20th? John Boehner and his "jobs, jobs, jobs"? Yea, like Abortions and gay rights and planned parenthood and end Medicare are all "jobs, jobs, jobs". America got "fucked, fucked, fucked". Once again, by the Republicans. Only this time, the base is getting "pissed". Screaming "no new TAX BREAKS" at Town Halls. Hilarious.

The biggest pig at the government trough is a blue state.

The biggest red state (Texas), pays in more than it receives.

If it would keep me from suffering absolute fools like you, I'd be all for it.

Btw ... you gotten all comfy with that ID you stole from another member being the lowlife ass you are?

I'm thinking about fixing that little situation.

Still wondering what Gunny is talking about with this. And what he means by "fixing that little situation"....sure would be nice to know what that "little situation" is.....

Maybe he thinks you stole Dicca's screenname?

That would be weird considering I've used this name for at least 10 years now...on at least 5 message boards (6 I think).
Only a fool would think it was an attempt to steal someone's name.

*ok, looks like Gunny melted down last nite....maybe the best explanation is that there is no explanation.

You were here first, too, weren't you?

My goodness, that Gunny seems a tad befuddled lately.

Honestly no....But I certainly had this name with it's unorthodox spelling for at least 10 years and over several message boards. When I came here on unintentional invite from Tha Malcontent, I had no idea about Boedicca.

But, let me ask you...if a new poster named Ravy...or Ravie...or Raby...showed up tomorrow....would YOU have a hissy fit that you would carry on for months and years? Seems odd to me.

No, actually bodi was here first. However, she had joined and then went inactive. Then bode joined. A coupla-three of months after bode joined, bodi became active again.

And thats all there is to that, really. There's no conspiracy or stalking going on.

Do you think bodecea had anything to do with her mysterious disappearance?

 

[Wry Catcher]

...so I've yet to read a rational and/or sober response to the graph. The evidence seems to lead to a conclusion that when faced with statistical evidence which confounds some on this message board their only response is emotional - angerly striking back with irrational personal attacks. Sad really, shows to all their lack of depth and the weakeness of their opinions.

The biggest pig at the government trough is a blue state.

The biggest red state (Texas), pays in more than it receives.

The biggest red state (Texas), pays in more than it receives. - Yea, Texas and 13 blue states.

The biggest pig at the government trough is a blue state. - New Mexico is a "blue" state? Yea, now, since the last presidential election. I'm sure the Republican policy of "hate Hispanics" had nothing to do with that.

Red States vs. Blue States Comparison Summary

Check out this link. It's a "hoot".

Note the STRONG correlation between Red States and LOW income!
Average income = $41,183 - $34.202 = $6,981 Lower!

Red States have a significantly LOWER college graduate rate by 5.6% (29.6% - 24.0%). (Hilarious - if you don't count "Bible degrees", the percentage is much, much lower)

There are FAR MORE Evangelicals in the Red States - 29.9 vs. 19.5 in the Blue States. (Who would have thunk it? They consider "science" a "faith". Hilarious)

You are still missing the part where 13 blue states pay more than Texas. Oops. More "facts". Ones you apparently "overlooked" - on purpose.

If Texas wasn't forced to pay Federal Taxes,they would have more than enough money to take care of themselves during these kinds of emergencies. Texas isn't the 'Bad Guy' in this. The Feds are.
