You're right, but the states that go Democrat tend to pay more in federal taxes than what they get back. The whole red state, blue state makes it simple to explain that we Democrat leaning states support the Republican leaning states (excluding Texas.)

In other words, you have been called out and have no coherent response. urbanlife78's question was a reasonable one, which asked how you arrived at your conclusion.

Total nonsense. In absolute dollars blue states benefit more. On a per capita basis, red states benefit more because there are far fewer people.

Oh sorry, I though you had some righty answer to how Obama could somehow magically change the government into a dictatorship that Romney would of somehow prevented if he won the election.

Good to see you have no answer cause I didn't think you had one in the first place.

So there are fewer people in red states, yet they need more federal money than blue states? That doesn't seem right....I mean I am fine with giving them the extra money if they need it, but if the red states are just gonna whine about it, we blue states could always take that money back.

I am sure the blue state you are in would benefit from that extra tax dollars coming into the state.

I concur.
I can't understand a "science" that uses a variable as its unit of measure, apologizes for usury (mathematically unsustainable in a finite money token system), and has the accuracy of a 4 week meteorological prediction.

if you have democacy of hard working christian men with supportive wives and children a democracy can go on forever. men that live within their means and are frugal.
but that is not what u have is it?
45% of americans work.
the rest wait to be fed.
even if we taxed the rich dry, we will not get enough to fuel DC plans. DC does not have an income problem, DC has a spending problem.

Where does that percentage number come from or are you making it up for your talking point?

Moreover, democracy requires Christianity, and wives only play a supporting role?
