[quote=Anonymous][quote]Since I was born and have mostly lived in states that are net exporters of tax dollars, my home would benefit from a change where my tax money stopped going to the residents of states that keep taking it, but, since I actually consider us all to be Americans, and such transfers of wealth are part of the Federal government's role in promoting the general welfare, I believe it's a good thing. [/quote] This can't be overstated. So often, I want to say to the Tea Party and "states should do it" supporters, "OK, assholes, you got it. We'll give you what you want. Federal dollars going in cannot exceed federal taxes leaving." Texas would be OK, and probably a couple other red states. The rest would be completely fucked. This map is instructive.
