Blue states already subsidize Red states, and the tax bill would make it worse

[Bugsy McGurk]

Here’s a good piece on the numbers.

Blue states already get back far less in federal dollars than their taxpayers pay.

For example, NJ gets back 71 cents for every federal tax dollar they pay. With NY, the number is 81 cents.

MS gets back 2.13 for every federal tax dollar they pay. WV gets back 2.07 for every dollar they pay.

The GOP’s Big Lie in peddling their tax bill/scam is that Blue states are getting over because their taxpayers deduct more in interest and state and local taxes than taxpayers in Red states. True, but even with those higher deductions, the Blue states still massively subsidize the Red states.

The Red state leeching must be reversed. It certainly should not be made worse, as the GOP scammers seek to do with their tax bill.

Well, well well, you people are all in favor of taking from others to buy votes but only as long as it does not effect you. Typical libber

Huh? No I’m not.

But you digress - why should the Red state leeching from the Blue states be made even worse with the tax bill/scam? Don’t Red state residents have any pride? Shouldn’t the leeching be stopped?

Talk about a lie
Why does California need to be bailed out every 10 years?
Why do state-run unions need to be bailed out?

You hate facts. Rational discussion is beyond you.

Why does MS get so many fed dollars?

Why does MS get so many fed dollars?

I don’t know, but the reasons for Red state leeching is not of interest to me. I oppose leeching regardless of the reasons.

Prolly don't have any bootstraps.

If you don't know the reason, how can you say it's leeching?

 

[Deleted member 21794]

Prolly don't have any bootstraps.

So you don't know, either.

 

[ObamacareForever]

They won't invest in education. They are stuck in poverty till they do. And stuck leeching off the educated blue states.

You've already conceded you don't know why they get so many federal dollars. So why call it leeching? Perhaps they have a lot of government employees, government contractors or defense spending per capita. Why would that be considered leeching?

I told you above. See the top post.

More likely they are on food stamps, and are too fat and heroin-addicted to find their bootstraps.

Your dodge and surrender are both noted.

We've already established you don't know. No need to keep punishing yourself.

 

[Fast Eddy]

The reality is the opposite. The Red States subsidize Blue states. Look up the cash flow, it's obvious.

Translation: Can’t I draw you into an inane discussion of the reasons the Red states leech off the Blue states, when the reasons have nothing to do with your point? Please?
