It's correct and Baloney? :laugh:

it's a steaming pile of crap Raider,

Red Staters suck up federal money which comes from blue states,

you are trying to look at ONE portion of the funds that suck up in order to support a lie.

 

I'm pretty sure you know you are lying but will argue it anyway, so people can explain it to you,

because that's apparently how you get your rocks off,

 

I think Eli was just too stupid to comprehend the data.

It's like a guy who drinks three beers and two fifths of whiskey a day. But when he's questioned about it, he says, I drink less than a case of beer a week! I don't have a drinking problem!

 

Raider. :dismay:

It's a gross over simplification.  11 states pay in more than they get back in federal services.  The majority of states get back more than they paid in.  This hasn't changed much over the years even as some states go from blue to red and back.  As a statistic, it doesn't prove much, but it makes a nice map.

raider,

read this post again, it seems to imply that you are wrong in your assertions,

maybe he will indulge you with the pages of explanations you crave.

I don't think so Steve. While they tend to agree with each other on just about everything, Dude at times use's his brain where as Frank is strictly a troll.

Incorrect, no state gets back more than its citizens pay in.  Not one, not even close.  

 

Here's the problem..... you want to include payments to individuals, but then aggregate those individuals via their state of residence to claim that "red' states suck up more federal money.  It's a fallacy though: either we're talking about states or we're talking about individuals - who pays, who gets paid, and how each votes.  Looking at payments to individuals then lumping them into states and looking at what candidate won that state is a BS line of reasoning and doesn't actually tell you anything beyond what we already know: rural states without cities tend to vote R and states with urban centers tend to vote D.  The obvious correlation here that drives this silly claim is that cities concentrate wealth and more wealth equals more tax revenue.  So your "blue states" pay more into the system.  The correlation that doesn't exist is that republicans mooch off the system and democrats support them, and no analysis of individual voting habits is going to support that claim.   

 

I've done stuff I ain't proud of, and the stuff I am proud of is disgusting.
