Well, they donate more to AL than AR (Fed Spending per dollar of Federal taxes -- AL=1.71, which is among the 10 highest, AR=1.47, basically in the middle). Of course states with huge populations and having much higher median wages are going to have a larger tax burden.

Ah, but I thought you were opposed to "wealth redistribution"...I guess only when you are not the recipient.

"AR=1.47, basically in the middle"

Say what? Texas is around 0.94, despite having some pretty large military bases. 1,47 is far from the middle. So why am I subsidizing AR again?

We (red states) aren't the ones voting for higher taxes.

Of course, you're not. You waiting for handouts from the Feds. Its been a nice game on which some one needs to pull the plug. The other little trick played by the red states is keeping welfare payments down and exporting your poorest to other states.
