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


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.


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



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

Trump has never talked about slashing entitlements.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
