AZ Sends $1 To The Feds, Gets $1.20 Back
Yep, they're one of those freeloadin' welfare states that gets back more in Fed $ than they pay in. Blue States like CA, NY & NJ take it on the chin - and in the pocket - supporting these freeloaders.

Yep, AZ is one of those states THAT IS DEPENDENT ON SOCIALISM to make ends meet.

I say it's time to rescind their 20% override they get from other states and make them pay for themselves, rather than mooching off other states.

1. Indeed, Sir: All The 'Red States' Are Free-Loading Welfare Chiselers
Generally as well they have higher rates of divorce, domestic violence and child abuse, lower life spans, and in general occupy the highest rungs on any indice of social and moral breakdown and decay.

6. They Also Get The Greatest Corporate Welfare...
Defense contractors love them "right to work" red states...a great place to raise a family and build weapons...all on the tax payer's dime.

Us "rust belt" states saw our jobs vanish south before they went to Mexico...chasing after the government subdidies and contractors along with low taxes (thanks to our subsidies) in states like Arizona.

Yep...let's let them have a real dose of "free market capitalism"...remove all the subsidies, move federal facilities (ilke that huge AF Base in Tucson) elsewhere (I'm sure the folks in New Mexico wouldn't mind) and let's see how they enjoy their 10th ammendment rights.

Cheers...

4. Only a $1.20 huh? Pikers! North Dakota gets back $1.85.
Edited on Sun Apr-25-10 08:04 AM by RC
I'm sure that amount is going to go down because Byron Dorgan is retiring at the end of this term.
Our 3 congress critters all claim to be Democrats. 2 mostly are and 1, Conrad is a bought off DINO.
