I don't know the answer Corky. I do know that Washington state and Nevada taxpayers pay out far more in federal taxes than they receive in federal programs. In fact, i believe the Western states all share in that distinction. |

I don't think so. In fact you might say the bulk of the red States prefer socialism. Money recieved for every one dollar of taxes paid Of the twenty worst states, 16 are either Republican dominated or conservative states. Let's go through the top twenty. New Mexico: $2.03 Mississippi: $2.02 Alaska: $1.84 Louisiana: $1.78 West Virginia: $1.76 North Dakota: $1.68 Alabama: $1.66 South Dakota: $1.53 Kentucky: $1.51 Virginia: $1.51 Montana: $1.47 Hawaii: $1.44 Maine: $1.41 Arkansas: $1.41 Oklahoma: $1.36 South Carolina: $1.35 Missouri: $1.32 Maryland: $1.30 Tennessee: $1.27 Idaho: $1.21 http://www.businessinsider.com/red-states-are-welfare-queens-2011-8 |

Thumper, Acknowledge the problem and then expect good people to act in a rational manner. View the spending and evaluate it in view of what's best for the nation and state needs. Question the pork and giveaways to people, help within reason those with real needs. There is no magic answer, only good people trying to do right and bad people being greedy.

It appears that anything Neutral either doesn't understand or wants to play like he doesn't understand is "funny" to Neutral. |

What ever happened to the Obama's and the left's liberal values of wealth distribution to aid the less fortunate? Why the inconsistency? |
