[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GOP has no issue taking blue taxpayers money when natural disasters hit in red states like Florida or Texas or the gulf state (Hurricanes) or tornado alley.

GOP has no issue complaining about a lack of federal response in this case even though the governer specifically told the Feds he didn't want their help.

IOW, GOP complain about everything but want the freebees.[/quote]

Because red states are forced to pay into the Federal system. The real question is, if they weren’t would TX then need NY’s taxpayer dollars, for instance?[/quote]

Most of the red states take more in federal dollars than they pay in. Most of the blue states take less in federal dollars than they pay in.

So to answer your question, on a general basis, yes.

Correct.  Overall, blue states subsidize red states.  Even Washington DC residents pay more in federal taxes than 20+ states do.[/quote]
