Red state socialism
Posted by lazlow | Filed under Politics
While people are seething and screaming “SOCIALIST!” at candidates these days – it’s interesting to look at the data. The true “Socialists” are the red states, which take more federal tax money than they bring in. In fact 84% of states that take in more than they contribute vote Republican. And 78% of states that contribute more than they use vote Democratic. Strange to see so many red-faced redstaters screaming of the ills of “socialism” and how horrible it is to spread the wealth around when they are on the dole. Maybe we should stop being so nice and let you fend for yourselves. But that’s not in our nature really. Some of us still believe we’re all in this together and you should help a brother out. Even if that brother is an angry redneck from Mississippi. We love you rednecks, thanks for the great food and music about trucks.
