Show me that they are wrong. You can't.
That b.s. from Mother Jones...saying that New Mexico is a problem? That's just twisting stats.
They only have 2 million people. Mostly Native American and hispanics. And Mother Jones says they are a big "welfare state" getting 2.63 dollars for every dollar that their citizens pay in taxes.
So New Mexico...the giant horrible welfare state gets a total of 5.26 million dollars a year from the federal govt.
Yeah, carry on with that stupid political bullshit. |
The stats are based on what each state pays vs what they get back from the federal govt.
New York Obviously pays more in federal taxes each year compared to New Mexico.. Obviously New York will get back more money.
Seriously is that hard to comprehend? Are you saying that it's ok for states to get back more than what they paid? If so why bitch about welfare moms? It's the exact same so why is it ok on the State level but not on the individual level?
Welfare states are negative income states on federal tax dollars. Those extra dollars that are returned to them have to come from somewhere. That somewhere is from the pockets of the states that pay more than they get back.
It's simple math Robbie, why is that so hard to understand?
The Right always bitches about welfare yet they can't even pay their own way on the state level. The bulk of red states aren't paying their own way.
