When blue state retirees stop moving to red states, sure. Until then, it's an entirely false premise, and everyone knows it.
Hey, blue state retirees... STAY in your high tax, high cost of living states!
People retire to warm states for some reason. I would love if blue states didn't have higher taxes to pay for the red states. I would like every state to pay for their own disaster for one.

As long as retirees didn't flee blue states in droves, what you suggest would work. But when so many blue state retirees move to red states, guess what? That SS and Medicare spending follows them there, too.

Are you having a hard time understanding that?
No, not at all. This is why blue states still have to support you by paying more taxes
The ultra-rich don't produce anything of value, they simply live off the fruits of others' labor. They feel entitled to your tax dollars, which subsidize their corporations and pay for their wars to get access to markets/resources. When they mess up and their corporations fail, the feel entitled to your tax dollars to pay for their bailouts.
It's time to stop these lazy free loaders from getting rich at our expense. Agree?
Some R-Senator just said the opposite - poor people dont create anything and hence tax cuts for the millionaires.
Mark Zuckerberg is a one percentor. What did he steal?
Oprah Winfrey is a one percentor. What did she steal?
Steven Hawkins is a one percentor. What did he steal?
Ben Carson is a one percentor. What did he steal?
Michael Jordan is a one percenter. What did he steal?
And since you brought it up, stealing millions of dollars is harder than working an entry level job or sponging off the government. Yes, guys like Al Capone or the wolf of wall-street actually worked their tails off.
