They view YOUR earnings as THEIR money.

Robin Hood, except they thrive on stealing from you.

Ironic that the term Robin Hood was used since Texas actually has a Robin Hood tax plan:

"The school funding mechanism is a "Robin Hood" formula where wealthy school districts share local property tax revenue with districts in poorer areas. Districts rely heavily on property taxes because Texas has no state income tax.

School districts in all parts of Texas were on the same side in the case. While those in economically challenged areas said funding was inadequate, districts in well-to-do locales argued that voters often refuse to approve local tax increases because much of the money would go elsewhere."


'Robin Hood' school funding formula OK'd by Texas Supreme Court | abc13.com

As for Republicans in blue states, they need to removed. It's the only way Republicans will be stopped from targeting blue states.

I'm all for those red states falling further. At some point, this country will likely split and regionalize anyway and those states will have the least educated workers. Blue states are very tired of paying for them.

Yeah, RIGHT! " It was the first Democratic Senate victory in a quarter-century in Alabama, one of the reddest of red states, and proved anew that party loyalty is anything but sure in the age of Trump. It was a major embarrassment for the president and a fresh wound for the nation’s already divided Republican Party." https://www.wvgazettemail.com/news/j...2e60ff7ee.html
