What if the better-educated, more successful states refused to subsidize the ones on the take?

[OKTexas]

So they make food and tobacco. Anything else? Seriously is that it?

Cars, trucks, airplanes, computers, ships, oil and gas equipment and much more.

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

So they make food and tobacco. Anything else? Seriously is that it?

Oil, natural gas, timber, lignite, cotton, pharmaceuticals, chemicals. Very little tobacco is grown in Mississippi. Not sure what made you think there was.

 

[Clipper]

There is no such thing as Red States and Blue states.

It is America and the Democrat controlled big city shitholes.

That is the divide in America.

You don't like it get the fuck out & go where one party rules. Russia comes to mind.

 

[Clipper]

By the way Moon Bats. California is the bastion of Democrat control and has the worst education, most poverty, most homelesness, highest rents, highest taxation and biggest debt in the US.

It also has a GDP higher then many Countries.

 

[Clipper]

That was moronic even for you, Surada! They're counting second homes that are owned by "snow birds" that don't happen to be in residence as "empty"! You seem to think that means nobody wants to move to Florida...which simply proves how clueless you are!

It's so great that snowbirds head north in the spring. Who wants to spend all summer inside sucking up to an a.c.?

 

[Flash]

You don't like it get the fuck out & go where one party rules. Russia comes to mind.

All these big city shitholes have one party rule. Democrats. See how fucked up they are.

 

[blackhawk]

Define better educated because some of the so called better educated think there are more than two, genders and can't define what a woman is. It has been my observation that the alleged better educated have little to no common sense which lowers their intelligence down to mediocre.

 

[Flash]

It also has a GDP higher then many Countries.

Because it is living off when it was the Golden States before the filthy Democrats fucked everything up. It is quickly losing that wealth.

Nowadays about 1,000 middle class people are leaving every day to get away from that shit and are replaced by goddamn welfare Illegals.

That is why the state is first in poverty, last in education, has high taxation and tremendous debt.

Across the country the Democrats have turned the once great American cities into shitholes. In California they have manged to do that to an entire state.

If we let the sonofabitches do it they would turn all of the US into a Socialist shithole.

 

[Clipper]

All these big city shitholes have one party rule. Democrats. See how fucked up they are.

No they don't.

 

[Oldestyle]

I lived in Florida.. it's horrible and full of grifters.

Next time live in a better neighborhood. Would you like the name of my Realtor?

Balance of payments is the amount of revenue paid to the federal government from a state’s residents and economy (taxes) minus the amount of federal spending in that state. Donor states pay more to the federal government in taxes than they receive back in funding.

Advanced states have been bankrolling the ne'er-do-wells, who often bite the generous hands that feed them by enacting retrogressive, discriminatory laws.

New York is the largest donor state in the U.S., with a negative balance of payments at $22,798,000,000.

The next six donor states and the negative balances of their contributions to the federal government are:

• New Jersey (-$10,334,000,000)
• Massachusetts (-$9,919,000,000)
• California (-$6,653,000,000)
• Connecticut (-$5,754,000,000)
• Minnesota (-$1,896,000,000)
• Colorado ($1,374,000,000)

On the other end of the spectrum are these state with the amount they grab from the general coffers, a transfer of wealth from the fiscally successful ones:

• Kentucky ($63,229,000,000)
• Florida ($50,999,000,000)
• Maryland ($49,942,000,000)
• Ohio ($42,004,000,000)
• Pennsylvania ($41,516,000,000)
• North Carolina ($35,437,000,000)
• Alabama ($33,033,000,000)

If beggar states insist on using their largesse from their benefactor states to fund their repressive statism - suppressing freedom and equality in such matters of public interest as voting, reproductive rights, public health, climatology, science teaching - instead financing rabid Statism in the form of gag orders, book banning, bureaucratic womb control, denial of an American's equality despite differences, why fund them?

I cannot pass an indigent on the street without giving him a few bucks, inquiring after his well-being, and listening to his concerns, but, if I found that he was using my meager benefaction for noxious purposes, would I not be justified in desisting from such discretionary allocation of my resources?

An individual and a society honoring the corporal works of mercy is a benison to both, but there is an assumption of responsibility.

In sharing one's prosperity, one should do no harm.

How about if the food producing states said no food for you!

Who do you think blinks first?


DURRRRRR!

 

[schmidlap]

How about if the food producing states said no food for you!

Who do you think blinks first?

California?

In any event you need not fret over the better-educated, more prosperous states cutting the allowances of the statist states anytime soon.

Politicians in the Dangling Appendage State should be especially concerned about anthropogenic climate change seeking revenge.

Florida Is Getting Hotter And Wetter​

They'll be begging the federal government for money to bail them out.

Literally.

We have to agree with your trajectory and questions, but the American prisoner, once again, refies America. Large migrations may happen due to choice though more by necessity. You can see the signs, Shanghai may be locked out, not covid-locked down, which will mean buying real estate in the Russian Far East:

'With its main financial center at Shanghai flooded and its agricultural heartland baking in insufferable heat, China's days as a global power will be numbered.'
(McCoy, To Govern the Globe, p. 312)

What new viruses will emerge with the heat? Duh

The better-educated, more prosperous states that are being fleeced to bankroll authoritarian regimes seem quite indulgent, actually.

New Orleans still hasn't recovered from Katrina after 17 years.
While Houston recovered from Harvey in a few years.
Dem cities "Chocolate cities" like NO are a fucken waste of oxygen.

Boycott Chocolate Cities. Duh

/----/ And the more prosperous Americans are being fleeced to bankroll the nonproducers to the tune of $30 trillion dollars since 1964 and there are just as many poor as before.

California?

Cali grows too much that is economic, not food related. You should look at what they grow sometime.

 

[surada]

Exactly. Big cities in red states often go blue. Voters in upstate NY are a far cry from NYC. Most upstate New Yorkers I have met are ashamed of NYC voters. Unfortunately for them, they have to live under the politics those folks elect. Funny that many are moving out of the city due to crime to upstate but they STILL won’t put 2 and 2 together that it is the way they vote that caused the problem to start with. Seriously, liberalism is a mental disorder.

You're rapidly moving to an authoritarian state with no middle class. Do you want to have your rights dictated by fundamentalists?
