Yea it is oil profits from the state, but it's still the reason they don't pay any sort of state taxes. Businesses are generating the tax income. Then when you add in all the federal govt subsidies, it's pretty fucked that people are getting money handed to them for nothing while those federal subsidies come from other state's like Cali, New York, Texas ect..
If they have money to hand out to people, they shouldn't be given federal subsidies that is basically tax money from other states.. Any state that gets back more in federal subsidies than it collects = welfare state..
