Lets Slash Entitlements

[Anonymous]

I am a reasonably well off Blue State Democrat, meaning that not only do I pay high income taxes but my state is a net payor to the Red States. So, since Seniors voted for Trump and Republicans, and Republicans want to slash SS and Medicare/Medicaid, lets do it. My reduced taxes mean I win. Lets give our Seniors what they apparently want. I will be enjoying another bottle of some overpriced wine.

The net balance of money that flows from blue states to red states is in the trillions of dollars.

If that is what the red states want, then so be it.

I wish we could separate out those people who didn't vote for Trump. I feel bad for them.

No, OP. You may be a Blue Stater, but you are not a good person. We are all Americans, Red or Blue, senior or not, rich or poor.

Uh, you realize the blue staters are willing to sacrifice personal income for the greater good, right?

LOL. No, not according to your party. Only the fly over states are "real Americans."

since you pay more in taxes, you're vote counts more than a poor person living in a red state?

No, apparently the vote of the poor person in the red state counts more. That's how we got Trump.

You're an awful person. Wishing that on the most vulnerable people says a lot about you.

Lady, states pay no income taxes. It's people who do. Around 50% Americans pay federal income tax and subsidize the rest -- the poors in the cities and the poors in rural areas.

Except the latter get a disproportionate amount of said taxes. That's the point.

Let's not slash entitlements, but instead reduce the 100 billion dollar overhead administrative costs to deliver those benefits. And cut out the fraud too.

Not true, run the numbers. The urban poor are the main drain of public resources.

Trump has never talked about slashing entitlements.

Wrong. Quite wrong and there have been numerous studies and reports on this. Seriously you are dumb.
