Let Jesus Support the Red States [03 Nov 2004|04:27pm] Let Jesus Support the Red States States Receiving Most in Federal Spending Per Dollar of Federal Taxes Paid: D.C. ($6.17) North Dakota ($2.03) New Mexico ($1.89) Mississippi ($1.84) Alaska ($1.82) West Virginia ($1.74) Montana ($1.64) Alabama ($1.61) South Dakota ($1.59) Arkansas ($1.53) States Receiving Least in Federal Spending Per Dollar of Federal Taxes Paid: New Jersey ($0.62) Connecticut ($0.64) New Hampshire ($0.6 Nevada ($0.73) Illinois ($0.77) Minnesota ($0.77) Colorado ($0.79) Massachusetts ($0.79) California ($0.81) New York ($0.81) "I also have a substantive recommendation to the Blue states: Do all that you can to shut off the spigots. Completely. Shut it down. All of it. No more sucking on the government's teat for the Red states. Transform the rhetoric of your Republican brothers into practice: Slash federal spending (is that still a Republican position?). Wipe out the farm subsidies. Eradicate all block grants to the states. End the transfer of thirteen cents out of every Blue State Tax Dollar to the Red states (call it "Real Welfare Reform".) Replace every dollar of reduced federal spending with a dollar of in-state spending." 1 comment|post comment
