This has been a long known deal that the Right wingers always love to overlook.
The fact is the only 2 Red states that paid their own way was Texas & FL. The rest are all freeloaders with Alaska being the worst.
FL went blue in the last election so that leaves only Texas as the only Red state that can pay it's own way. The rest of the red states are all subsidized by taxes coming from Blue states.
Right Wingers want to end welfare so I say lets end state welfare as well and make them pay for their own shit. I bet they would welcome paying welfare when they realized how much their state taxes would skyrocket if Blue states weren't paying the red states welfare checks.
