the funny thing is that the least productive states, invariably conservative, and their politicians keep on bashing liberal states for being fiscally irresponsible and having out of control spending when in fact liberal California, New York, Illinois and New Jersey provide funding for most of these poor conservative states.
Illinois sends over 10% of its GDP to the fed. How are these states supposed to be successful when their assets are drained by southern states? Couldn't California use the $106 billion it sends to the fed in the state? Couldn't Illinois or New Jersey? To add insult to injury the inefficient conservative moochers not only suck liberal money but also lure business from liberal states, often using funds obtained from liberal states for that purpose for instance by offering lower wages as the residents subsidize their incomes through federal programs.
This has to stop. No more conservative mooching!

You can't do anything about it, just shut up and live with it.

I'm sorry, I thought we were simply talking about tax dollars being spent around the country.
Are military bases funded by tax dollars? Yes, everything is.

Are you going to force the conservatives to go to school?
Are you going to cut the welfare dollars?

No. You claimed that the $89 billion dollars South Carolina gest from the fed every years goes towards military bases. It does not. It simply goes to pockets of conservative, lazy residents of the great state of South Carolina.
The only thing i feel stupid about is allowing conservatives to preach fiscal discipline and self-sufficiency while living off liberal states and their contributions to the fed. There hasn't ever been a bigger case of welfare than entire lazy, conservative states being supported by productive blue states.

Good, I hope they're putting some of it towards kicking the few worthless Dems in office in SC to the curb. How does it feel to know your money is being taken from you and used against you?

You shouldn't feel stupid (about that anyway) because there's nothing you can do about it. You'll keep paying and you'll like it.
Horrible, especially since it goes to pockets of nitwitted conservatives full of BS about being self-sufficient and productive while in fact they have been mooching off the liberal states since the civil war. When are you guys going to become productive???

You shouldn't be sorry for your lack of education and your error. Just learn from it.
Sure, tax dollars go to funding these military bases. But that's not what the liberals are talking about and that's not included in the numbers that you look at when you see the spending discrepancy. It helps to understand what liberals are talking about in the first place.
