Oh this shit would make our beloved ruling class so happy.

California accounts for around 15% of the total federal income, and is net income producer, just as about any state in the South takes in more in Federal dollars, usually via benefits, than it sends. That said, the unemployment rates in those states is bad, just as the population's general health of those states is getting worse. So there are very good, not shameful, reasons for the greater intake of Federal monies, for that is were the most economic death is.

Of course, most of the tax money that comes from California comes from the top 1% who are taking all the extra wealth being generated by the whole population. So yes, California's unemployment is very low, but the cost of living is screaming past the incomes of most of us. The Blue States too are dying, but just more slowly.

So choose your death. Actively drowning in Red States, or slowing drowning in Blue States.

The entire country, in all states, across the political spectrum, from the poor, working, and middle classes, is getting poorer. The only people staying good are the top 10%, and the only ones actually getting richer are the top 1% with the 0.01% getting the most of that. No matter how hard you try, no matter your race, no matter how educated you are, or your skills, you are probably going to stay right were you are. And if you are successful, this truth still remains for most everyone else. More so everyday. Is it any wonder that that is why parts of the country has an opioid problem, or that other parts has a violence problem. If there is no realistic hope, something bad is going to happen cause most of us are not saints.

This nonsense is only serving to distract us all from that, from stopping us noticing our mutual economic rape. From the fact that we are all drowning in a ocean of corruption everywhere.
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Most people in red states keep more of their money. They lead better lives because of it.

For every poor redneck living on his land in his mobile home, I can point to some blue state welfare queen living on the public dime in public or subsidized housing, living off food assistance, and not working, or even just the average guy working a service job who can't even afford the rent in the city in which he lives.

It's not just glass houses. You are throwing rocks from your glass house at a fucking fortress of freedom.

The redneck in his trailer is there because he has a road to drive on to get to work - thanks blue states - as well as an entire infrastructure that supports his ability to live there.

Do you think there is a difference between that guy and a welfare queen to the people paying for it all? J is right that everyone has been losing out except for the 10% who are standing still. Do you think those people are never going to get tired of subsidizing people who do nothing but berate their values?

LOL!

Do you not know the difference between county, city, and state roads, and that the federal funds that go to states for road maintenance pay for interstates -- which benefit states like California most of all?

Everything you have gets to you via a port, railway system and interstate highways. You can no more live without those systems than any of us could live without the produce coming from warm weather states. Everything in our economy is interconnected. If you want to burn the system down, you're burning down everything that allows you to live your lifestyle, and everyone else's.

Don't stoop to Penner's levels of hysteria. You don't have to like the guy, but find a real reason.

This image in your head that you are seeing,

is ridiculous.
All of Trump's picks reek of swamp water. Please tell me why you think Sessions is such a great pick for AG?

All those guys out there working on those roads are flown in from California? I never knew. Thanks blue states. :roll:

Because it's got the exact right people pulling their hair out. That's why. When the DC establishment and the bought and paid for MSM is losing their shit, I am at ease.

Your hysteria bores me. It's like you forgot that we've spent the past couple of years pissed off about our rights being eroded bit by bit. Trump didn't do that. The people up in arms in DC telling you he's coming for your freedoms are the ones that did it, and you've gone brain dead apparently, because you're falling for it.
