Federal RE-DISTRIBUTION of wealth over whelmingly favors the nut-gaggers. I prefer all the federal cash spigots be turned off and let them fund their own services instead of STEALING from other states. This guy has the data points. Information most already knew as FACT. http://content.ksg.harvard.edu/blog...tes-and-the-distribution-of-federal-spending/ It will come as a surprise to some, but not to others, that there is a fairly strong statistical relationship, but that the direction is the opposite from what you would think if you were listening to rhetoric from Republican conservatives: The red states (those that vote Republican) generally receive more subsidies from the federal government than they pay in taxes; in other words they are further to the right in the graph. It is the other way around with the blue states (those that vote Democratic). The top 10 PARASITIC STATES: New Mexico Mississippi Alaska Louisiana West Virginia North Dakota Alabama South Dakota Kentucky Virginia. The top 10 STATES THAT LOSE WEALTH TO THE PARASITES New Jersey Nevada Connecticut Minnesota Illinois Delaware California New York Colorado. I say STOP the stealing of tax payer funds and re-distributing to useless states that do not pull their own weight. It's time to REMOVE all Federal subsidies and wealth re-distribution and STOP WELFARE AT ALL LEVELS. Let the nut gagging fools eat shoe leather. They can always resort to speaking in tongues in the hopes manna will fall from heaven. Right now it's manna falling from taxpayers in large Democratic states.
Let's Look On The Bright Side Sometimes, things are not as bad as they appear: Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine - Driving a stake thru the Heart of Hillary's Presidential aspirations, something no Republican was ever able to do. Remember when a Hillary Presidency scared the daylights out of you? He killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - No more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. American women and freedom are safer tonight! He is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! Dennis Moore had never lost a race - quit Evan Bayh had never lost a race - quit Byron Dorgan - had never lost a race - quit Harry Reid - bid for re-election doesn't look good These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed! By the end of 2010 dozens more will be! In December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles they had picked up 14 senate seats and 52 house seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. In one year Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the house, if not the senate back to the Republicans. He has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Every generation seems to need to relearn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. He is bringing home the lesson very well! Liberals tax, borrow and spend - check Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America - check Liberals want to take over the economy - check Liberals think they know what is best for everyone - check Liberals aren't happy till they are running YOUR life - check He has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year he rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and brought out to the streets millions of Freedom Loving Americans. Name me one other time in your life that you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America! In all honesty, one year ago I was more afraid than I had ever been in my life. Not of the economy, but of the direction our country was going. I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My neighbors, friends, strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of the greatness and wisdom of the American people was flat out wrong. When the American People wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Obama woke up these Great Americans. Thank you Obama! So, Lets Recap "2009".........what a year!, would you not agree? 1. The American people inaugurate a half-Arab president with a total of 142 days experience as a US Senator from the most politically corrupt state (city) in America whose governors have been ousted from office. The President's first official act is to order the close of Gitmo and make sure terroristâs civil rights are not violated. (Honest mistake?) 2. The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm a black Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists. (An honest mistake?) 3. The CIA Boss appointee, Leon Panetta, has absolutely no experience. 4. We got the second most corrupt American woman (Pelosi is #1) as Secretary of State; bought and paid for. (You can put lipstick on a pig, but it still stinks!) 5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who did not properly file his own taxes for 12 years. (He misspoke!) 6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges. (Another honest mistake?) 7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges. (Hmmm...Another screw-up?) 8. A Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct. (Ok, maybe this person was just plain stupid.) 9. A Secretary HHS nominee (Daschle) who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes. (I'm running out of excuses for these idiots!!) 10. Multiple appointments of former lobbyists after an absolute campaign statement that no lobbyists would be appointed. (Dear God, I am getting a headache!) All this occurred just during the first three weeks. . . But who's counting? America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges; Barry, Nancy and Harry and they are still trying to define stimulus..."it's spending!!!" The congress passes the $800,000,000,000 (that's $800 billion) pork-loaded spending bill where the government gives you a smidgen of your tax dollars ($13 per week), making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated], that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV! Here's the good news though - Obama took Air Force One to Denver to sign the stimulus package, wasting as much as 10,000 gallons of fuel OR 24 JOBS FOR ONE YEAR. Obama went to the International Olympic Committee to have them choose Chicago for a host city - he failed Obama went to Copenhagen to lecture them on global warming - he failed Obama went to New Jersey to promote the Democratic candidate for governor - he failed Obama went to Virginia to promote the Democratic candidate for governor - he failed Obama went to Massachusetts to promote the Democratic candidate for senator - he failed Obama has now been president for more than a full year and yet he & wife (first lady) Michelle, the Christian family they claim to be, have not attended church since the inauguration. Obama is the 1st president in history who did not attend any Christmas religious observance. He must miss Reverend Wright and his racist, anti-American "church"! And finally, he is the 1st president to remain on vacation after a terrorist attack (Ft. Hood). In these times, 'I'll keep my God, my freedom, my gun and my money. Anyone who supports this insanity can keep "THE CHANGE".
