There certainly are deep red states that receive outlandishly more in Federal dollars than they pay (Mississippi and Alabama for example.) Note that both of these states have extremely senior members of Congress.

That is not to say that the people in Wyoming have entirely legitimate arguments. But if you want to prove them wrong, don't resort to specious ill-researched arguments.

If you don't use colors but use income your headline reads as 'fuck the working class and poor'.

I like that governments keep our cities from devolving into shit holes. I don't want to step over dead bodies or watch the homeless literally starve to death. And it's not out of some saintly compassion I possess; it's that I find that shit fucking depressing. I gladly pay tax dollars not to have to see that every day.

If Republicans are trying to sell the message that government should not do anything for anyone, or that people should not vote for the candidate that is more likely to improve their quality of life, then they will never win an election again.

Even more irritating is when the Feds pay folks to not grow stuff, and they still have the gall to call themselves farmers.
Posted by Brooklyn Reader]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:57:59 -0800 The Stranger <![CDATA[Re: Fuck These People]]> And don't even get me started on farm subsidies, where the Feds pay the farmer to grow stuff, then the farmer writes off all his expenses so he pays the absolute minimum in income and SS taxes. They work hard, tho, unlike all the lazy moochers in the big cities. Grrr.

You misspelt "customers", asshole. And we can take our business elsewhere if you like. Hell, some of us already have, and call it a "locavore" thing.
Posted by gromm]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:15:59 -0800 The Stranger <![CDATA[Re: Fuck These People]]> Given that red states are mostly rural, I would guess most of the spending is: roads, agricultural subsidies, rural electrification and other infrastructure they would never get in the totally free market (because delivering mail, phone service, and electricity to rural areas has poor ROI). Yeah, fuckthesouth covered that too:
All those Federal taxes you love to hate? It all comes from us and goes to you, so shut up and enjoy your fucking Tennessee Valley Authority electricity and your fancy highways that we paid for. And the next time Florida gets hit by a hurricane you can come crying to us if you want to, but you're the ones who built on a fucking swamp. "Let the Spanish keep it, it’s a shithole," we said, but you had to have your fucking orange juice.

The next dickwad who says, "It’s your money, not the government's money" is gonna get their ass kicked. Nine of the ten states that get the most federal fucking dollars and pay the least... can you guess? Go on, guess. That’s right, motherfucker, they're red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? It’s too easy, asshole, they’re blue states. It’s not your money, assholes, it’s fucking our money. What was that Real American Value you were spouting a minute ago? Self reliance? Try this for self reliance: buy your own fucking stop signs, assholes.

Dick move, but pretty stupid in this day and age.
