So that makes zero sense. They are already paying more in taxes, not less.
no they're not, they are paying less in federal taxes than the same person in Tennessee making the same thing....everyone should pay the same at the same income and not give people in Conn, NY, NJ, Cali a special tax write off to lower their rates.

Moreover, the vast majority of productive people, whether they live in New York or Alabama are Republicans and are paying the taxes. States like New York are wealthy because of productive business people. They vote Democratic because there are many more people living there, many of them leaches, who vote Democrat. In many states like Alabama, the leaches don't vote, but you better believe they are Democrats.


I love posts like these that have0 facts, no attempt at even finding a fact, and mix in some dog whistling as well...

It has nothing to do with rich, it's paying the same federal income tax for a person in NY as the person in Tennessee making the exact same income.

You know what I meant and I will say it again... get the dependent Democrats out of the red states and they will do fine.

Their argument is baseless...it's mainly due to the military, paying Democrats on welfare, and retirees.

perhaps TN, MS, LA and other leech states should actually try to fund themselves through their own tax paying population instead of relying of sucking the tax dollars from richer states.

You'll still be left with all the dependent Republicans. You know, like all those Trump-voting former miners who get by on disability fraud.
