Did you know that?

Red states pocket $1.24 for every dollar they send to Washington. Blue states are essentially paying red states to undermine democracy.

Yeah, and it's been going on since 1776. Our shithole states have always been on welfare. Yet they love to hate socialism even though they don't understand what the word means. That's the level of stupidity we're dealing with.

• They are too stupid to realize they are the problem.
• They are too blinded by White entitlement to see the welfare queen in the mirror.
• They are the ones voting against labor and for billionaires.
• They are the ones voting for Fascism to take away their right to vote.
• They are the ones voting against education.
• They are the ones voting against nationalized healthcare.
• They are the ones mired in medical debt suffering from diabetes & heart disease.
• They are the ones with fentanyl, meth, and alcohol addictions.
• They are the ones promoting backward Religion over science.

You cannot make this shit up. We should have purged their entire culture after the Civil War.

An awful lot of projection in your comment there

[OneViewpoint]

@Ariesman81 ,

An awful lot of painful truths you seem to be uncomfortable with MAGA boy.

[blackeagle007]

MAGA is allergic to truth

[Chazmatazz269]

Thanks, lighbulb, indeed! His link proved your question is misinformation.
The article goes on to explain that the majority of states that pay more in taxes than they receive are republican run. But don’t let the very same facts you shared get in the way of your ridiculous story! Ell oh ell!

[dustybiker2]

Blue states should pull back the defibrillators. See how long they stand it.

And yet democrat states have big budget deficits and extremely high taxes. They usually have big governments and they have the lions share of welfare recipients, homelessness, crime and crumbling infrstructure.

[msc545]

People tend to go over the money is. This includes lots of homeless people who certainly are too smart to go. Hang out in some garbage City in a red state.

[exitseven]

@msc545 Republican states are too smart to give handouts to anyone who shows up. They have common sense policies that keeps the public safe from getting stabbed to death on the subway.

[msc545]

Right. They give the handouts to corrupt businessmen and Republican politicians.

[exitseven]

Yes, but democrarts do the same thing.

[msc545]

prove it.

[exitseven]

@msc545 get real. how much did the Bidens rake in from Ukraine and China?

[msc545]

Since you think you know, you tell me - and provide evidence.

[DryGermanGuy]

Yeah and it has been like that for a long time (1865?). Which makes all these red-states-should-secede! fantasies even more ridiculous. How would they create a working budget? By asking China to pay tariffs? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[OneViewpoint]

Yeah, something like that is exactly what they would come up with.

[msc545]

@OneViewpoint Your initial response to this is certainly worthy of an MHO and you will get one when it becomes available on here. Thanks.

[OneViewpoint]

Thanks man. I'm just so fucking sick of these trash after a lifetime of living through the problems they perpetually cause while proclaiming themselves "patriots".

[msc545]

We are unfortunately all stuck with them apparently.

[blackeagle007]

@OneViewpoint were literally in a dictatorship. Congress has majority republicans. The Supreme Court is majority republican. They all let Trump get away with shit all the time. Hopefully in midterms tables can turn in the House of Representatives. So democracy can come back

[slatyb]

Yes, same as it has been for decades. The smart people produce most of the wealth, and they vote blue.

[lightbulb27]

where is this stat? are you saying red states get more govt subsidy than others and if they became democrat, then that all be positive to the govt finances?

[msc545]

Yes to the first part of your question, and I don't know since I don't think it has ever happened to the second part about becoming a democratic state.

[lightbulb27]

interesting, no didn't know...

[msc545]

Great link - thanks!

[DrPepper12]

Even WITHIN states it's a horrific wealth transfer from cities to rural. Manhattan gets 11¢ for every lotto dollar played & Herkimer county in who the fuck even cares where upstate gets $3.90!!

Socialism! Amirite MAGA?

[jamesgoldman]

Yes, it's why the blues want to cull the reds but they need slaves too much
