The South and conservative states receive far more federal tax dollars than they pay in, time to cut them off?
If conservatives really oppose big government and taxes, why don't we see greater parity regarding receipt of money? Isn't that like a teenager who's parents buy them a used Honda and they complain because it isn't a Mustang?
The citation is a DC-based, non-partisan organization that want's sound tax policy. It's amazing how the unfortunate truth must be "made up" if it doesn't agree with right-wing hate media that some trust completely. Rub a couple noggin' cells together and poke around the web site. Tax Freedom day, day's per year you spend working to pay taxes... Reading is a good thing.
We can get into the details about how it all breaks down - social programs (poor and retirees), military, misc government programs, funding for schools, etc.... I just appreciate watching a good knee jerk from folks like Fags of our Fathers.

DO IT! Let's start talking about how that looks. And when a Lib that is higher up the food chain taps you on the shoulder to explain why that would be a horrible idea for you philosophy that survives on the parasitic nature of Marxism, have the intestinal and testicular fortitude to tell them to take a hike.
Let's divorce. We don't love you anymore!!!!!!

undecided what you mean. Taxes around the board are quite plenty an analogous Liberal vs. Conservative. States have their very own budgets and gross sales. in case you're speaking approximately issues like county money and earmarks, those bypass to the two conservative and liberal states quite plenty the two. Conservatives regularly oppose great social courses that provide out money or centers, and liberals regularly help those. precise or incorrect i do no longer see what you're speaking approximately. in case you're speaking with regard to the federal budget the Democrat Congress is deficit spending because of the fact the Republicans have been. additionally the info do exactly no longer help that liberal states have pushed the financial equipment. Texas is the eleventh greatest financial equipment in the international and it is not liberal. there is only no foundation on your claims. i do no longer comprehend the get a job element. as I pronounced conservatives are regularly arguing for procuring a job. That we could consistently no longer redistribute wealth and that the only thank you to achievement is thru complicated artwork. i myself think of you may learn some economics and info, and ideologies. i assume you haven't any longer gotten as much as sophomore civics yet.

You are absolutely right and I would like you to start with my home state of South Dakota. Could you please come out here and personally cut off federal aid to the areas that receive the most and pay the fewest taxes. I am sure you will have no problem cutting off federal programs on Indian reservations.
You see, aside from the Air Force base, most federal money going into South Dakota goes to Indian reservations, with out much revenue going out. However, I am sure an enlightened liberal such as yourself will not be considered racist for doing so.
PS. While you doing all this research (it's not like people have not posted this "question" before), could you explain how federal stimulus dollars went to refurbish an airport at Ft. Yates, even though aircraft rarely operate from there? Millions go to Ft. Yates airport (which is on the reservation), while schools in the state suffer. Maybe you should research that.

I looked around the link you provided, but couldn't find what I sought.
Does that include the following?
1. Katrina Cleanup and Assistance?
2. States with large military installations, high tech research facilities?
3. States that at the time received large sums for expanded infrastructure?
I'm not sure how they break all that down, those figures. I ask about Katrina, because the info is from 2005.
But regardless, if leftists continue their ways, I'd much prefer they go ahead and leave..secede..take California, I don't care.

Don't forget to remove any funds that went to places like Miami, FL Atlanta, GA Memphis, TN Montgomery, AL Jackson, MS
and so on..They are all heavily blue areas. Something to do with Big Cities and free handouts, I guess. Many of the "blue states" are the same way. The majority of the state is red except the big city areas are blue.

Cut us off, by all means. And cut your state off, too. Why don't we end wealth redistribution altogether? I'm ok with that. What seems to be missing is a breakdown of the political affliliations of those who are recieving the benefits from those federal tax dollars... and it's not conservatives by any stretch of the imagination.
Caldude1010101: The federal tax dollars have nothing to do with your state's budget deficit. That has nothing to do with any state other than California. Your state isn't supporting anyone: it can't even support itself.

Sure cut everybody off while your at it.
I'll do just fine without income taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes and sales taxes.
I think you may have a p o'd base on YOUR hands though. Those who don't put in generally cry the loudest and I think Dems cry the most.

And when you do that, succession looks better and better.
Texas has oil, gas, and our own power grid, cattle, and better economy than most other states- and most military men are from here.
(gives middle finger) The rest of the States can kiss Obama's bony a$$ and go F themselves.

It is time for productive people who create wealth for themselves to stop sending it to Washington DC.
Everyone's happy now or are you upset that you're not getting a cut ?

Cut the South off, and she will ship you her illegal immigrants-who are only their because Dems in the North won't let her send them back.
Peace
