It is bothersome because the blue states are funding the red states.

If you have a problem with self-reliance, get over it.


Right. You said it. And the clear inference is that the blue states pay more federal taxes, and that the blue states are therefore entitled to exercise control over the red states.

In direct contravention to the law clearly set forth in the Constitution.

As I said, that you made such a remark is unbelievable. But not really.

Amy, If you have a problem with self-reliance, get over it.

I'm all for states keeping more of the federal tax money they pay to Washington.

But why stop there? Let's go further and let individuals keep more of the federal tax money they pay to Washington.

There's only one reason why you'd stop at the state level, and it all has to do with the "red and blue" nonsense.

That's funny. He can't even distinguish between what you said and he said. No wonder Arkansas is ranked 35th out of 50:
