The majority in red states vote against the 'Gubberment,' but love Uncle Sam's Free Money.

You would be interested in the demographics of those states and the voting tendencies of those receiving welfare.

... well, you wouldn't - others would.

So, it's the Republican's fault the Democrats are simply too dumb to bring any tax money to their home state?

ah, the old pork contest! We are winners in the bringing home the bacon contest!

Cigar's chart is so out of date...Alabama now tops $2.00 for every $1.00 sent in.

this is 2012 info:

States receiving the most federal funding per tax dollar paid:

1. New Mexico: $2.63
2. West Virginia: $2.57
3. Mississippi: $2.47
4. District of Colombia: $2.41
5. Hawaii: $2.38
6. Alabama: $2.03
7. Alaska: $1.93
8. Montana: $1.92
9. South Carolina: $1.92
10. Maine: $1.78

There's a reason why WV is always high on that list.

Same reason every other road, meeting hall and state building is named "Byrd".

Most of those Blue states are very high tax states. So the ratio is skewed.

Blackrook
11-11-2014, 09:19 PM
The blue states have the most millionaires and billionaires so it makes sense they pay more in taxes. That's just an accident of geography.

Wonder why?

Us Red states would rather stay poor capitalists than succumb to northern commie socialism. I hear Vermont is just like Soviet Russia.

I think cigar has found an acorn.

why don't we end individual welfare entirely?

just remove it from the federal budget.

that will teach those red state welfare bums a lesson.

any takers?
